It's been a busy week. Sorry that I'm a few days late with this post! But better late than never, right? Didn't have time for a lot, but I did write this short story, so I figured I'd share! The king held up his arms and silenced the cheering crowd. “We have… Continue reading Free Write #12

Free Write #11: Hope
I've had this idea sitting in the back of my mind for a while, so I finally decided to write it down as a free write to share here. As always, once I start writing, the story takes over and it always ends up different than what I imagined originally, but I really like… Continue reading Free Write #11: Hope
Free Write #10
I know I was non-existent last week, but it's been a few crazy days. I'm still trying to find a job, and it's only difficult because we don't know when we'll be moving again and where we'll end up so I don't know where to apply for jobs! Life is complicated and I miss being a… Continue reading Free Write #10
Free Write #9
I forgot to blog yesterday because I was busy doing a million and a half other things like eating cereal with sour milk and forgetting to turn on the washing machine when I put in laundry. Yeah. That about sums it up. So today I'm going to do a quick free write… Continue reading Free Write #9
Free Write #8: A Fairy’s Tale
It's been a while since I've done some free writing, and today I'm battling major Hypergraphia. So it was fairly easy for me to pick a blog post topic today. Originally I wasn't going to pick a prompt, but I had a really hard time channeling my Hypergraphia into something productive. I'll explain at… Continue reading Free Write #8: A Fairy’s Tale
Free Write #7
Recently, I've been wrapped up in major edits for Powerful. I printed out my first draft of the manuscript and I'm going through it on paper with my pink highlighter (for things that that need to be changed) and my yellow highlighter (for things I like and want to keep) while I'm penning comments… Continue reading Free Write #7
Free Write #6
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
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

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
The Resplendent Shooting Star
I'm doing another free write. Remember the superhero short story contest I judged not too long ago? Yeah. I finally caved. I'm writing my own superhero short story based on the superhero I created. Meet The Resplendent Shooting Star. With her daughter, Sophie, on her lap, Emily flipped through the pages of… Continue reading The Resplendent Shooting Star
