Iterating the Writing Process
I’ve been reading Gabriela Pereira’s wonderful book DIY MFA in which she outlines a do-it-yourself alternative to a traditional MFA program. I’ve chosen not to continue with my education with an MFA program. One reason is because of the cost, but I’ve greatly enjoyed pursuing continued education on my own through reading lots of books … Continue reading Iterating the Writing Process
What I’m Reading: When My Sister Started Kissing by Helen Frost
I hate poetry for the most part. Hate seems like a strong word to use as a fellow writer myself, but I just don’t get it. I like writing to be clear, to tell me a story and paint a clear picture in my head. Reading poetry always just leaves me scratching my head and … Continue reading What I’m Reading: When My Sister Started Kissing by Helen Frost

When I’m Not Writing: Coloring
I wrote last month that one of my favorite things to do when I’m not writing is make jewelry. One of my other favorite hobbies is to color. I mostly choose to color Christian coloring books, because when I’m coloring something with scripture it becomes a much more fulfilling experience. Reflecting on God’s word while … Continue reading When I’m Not Writing: Coloring

Reading Everlost again this … Continue reading Favorite Book Feature: Everlost by Neal Shusterman
My Summer TBR List
I’m one of those people who feed off of sunshine, so spring and summer are my favorite seasons. I especially love to read in the summer. Back when I was in school summer was pretty much the only time I could read for fun, and now the longer days make me more productive so I … Continue reading My Summer TBR List
When I’m Not Writing: Jewelry-Making
Though I do have stories running through the back of my head most of the time, I’m not actually writing all of the time. I thought I’d start sharing some of my other hobbies and things I like to do when I’m not writing. One of my favorite things to do is to make jewelry, … Continue reading When I’m Not Writing: Jewelry-Making
My Blog Turns 1!
Today is my blog’s first anniversary! On May 31st of last year, I published my first post about reading the Selection series and how meeting Kiera Cass helped me to finally write and publish my first novel. I wasn’t sure if I was going to like blogging. Writers learn to write in other’s voices. We … Continue reading My Blog Turns 1!
