As you might know if you follow me on social media, I broke my ankle 2 days before Christmas. I had to get surgery, and plates and screws, the works. THEN, I was hospitalized when the surgery gave me 2 blood clots in my leg. It's been a long, painful, boring, miserable 46 days, but… Continue reading What I’ve been reading while stuck on the couch

My shaky start to 2018
It's a new year. It's time for my annual goals blog post where I list out my professional and personal goals for the year, and eagerly and methodically tick them off one by one as the months go by.

Using Instagram as a Writer
If you've been following me for more than five minutes, you'll know I'm a huge believer in being a person online.

Christmas gifts for the writer – 2016
It's that time of year again! Of course, with all of the stores having Christmas decorations put up the day after Halloween, you probably already knew that. Every year I do a blog post with gift ideas for the writer in your life, which is just a thinly veiled post of things I want… Continue reading Christmas gifts for the writer – 2016
