I've been procrastinating this post all day long. I literally crocheted until I ran out of yarn. And I justified my tv watching because crocheting is productive, right? While it is somewhat productive, it's not on my schedule for today and four days in I'm already finding excuses to not get work done. I… Continue reading Free Write #6

Book Reviews
Not too long ago, I wrote my first ever book review. I've never been afraid to post a rating, but actually writing a review is a different story. It's very intimidating to put into words what you did and didn't like about someone else's brain child. I know what my writing means to… Continue reading Book Reviews
My Actual Plans
I'm still making some last minute changes to my weekly schedule, but I'm not planning on starting it until Sunday. I'll go through one week of my new schedule while making notes about how every day goes, then come next weekend I'll make any changes I need to. Here's the visual I… Continue reading My Actual Plans
Write It Down!
If I had to sum up my week in one sentence, it would be this: Yeah...writing's been a little rough. Currently, I've thought of four different ways to write this chapter and I wasn't sure which version to go with, until I forgot two of my ideas. I was interrupted while writing things down,… Continue reading Write It Down!
Just Write!
I've been virtually nonexistent since my weekend at Disneyland. It wore me out. We were so tired that we came home 5 hours early. I'd like to say that since then I've recovered, but I'm always so tired that I can't tell. Since then, I've had a hard time working on my writing.… Continue reading Just Write!
Other Books
In my last post, I shared a picture of all the books I collected for my birthday and mentioned the bag of books I got to take from the library I volunteered at before summer began. Here's a picture of those books. I was going to take more, but was worried about having room for… Continue reading Other Books
Popping in Again!
May has not been my month for blogging. Bad Alyson! Just an update, Husband of Mine has started his internship, and things are going great for him! I finished reading Grave Mercy (which I mentioned here). It took me a lot longer to finish than I hoped, not because it was boring, but because… Continue reading Popping in Again!
Busy week!
It's been a while since my last post, so I figured it was time for a quick update as to what I've been doing- I started a new job! Whoo! I stopped nannying back in December, and applied a couple of places, but because of my trips to the doctor and Physical… Continue reading Busy week!
Free Write #5
I've been making slow progress with the next chapter of Powerful. I found a new show to watch on Netflix, which was cool because it's a historical fiction based in the 1500s about politics in France, England, Scotland, etc. It's been really helpful to get me thinking about politics in Powerful, but it also… Continue reading Free Write #5
Thaddeus Whiskers and the Dragon
Back in October, I wrote a post about my friend, H. L. Burke. Since October, she's been working on another book. It's different from what she usually writes, but she had a lot of fun with it. It's called Thaddeus Whiskers and the Dragon. She typically writes YA fantasy novels, but followed… Continue reading Thaddeus Whiskers and the Dragon
