Hey y'all! My school year is drawing to a close soon (thank goodness) and I have had more time to be productive! Honestly, this past week has been fantastic.

Hey y'all! Hemingway is quoted to saying, "There is nothing to writing; all you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed." For a while, I wasn't sure I agreed with this principle.

However, my thoughts on … Continue reading paper and blood // hemingway's philosophy & my ideal writing mindset
Hey y'all! Quick little thing before the tag; things really have gone crazy since the last post. I wanted to use this platform to say a few things.

Hey y'all! I don't know about you, but this past week was something else. Not in a particular good way, it was literally just something else.

What I wanted to explore today was how my characters have grown since … Continue reading character development // how jaxen and the writer are doing

In the midst of all of this, among many things, … Continue reading woah buddy how’m i doin // writing check up + mos snippet
Hey y'all! 2020 is here! That's crazy hard to believe. It's always funny to hear people talk about how "the new year doesn't mean anything; it's just another day." Sorry, but quite frankly, I love the first week or so of a new year. The first week is a chance to restart, and if you're … Continue reading 2020 vision // hopes, ideas, and resolutions
Hey y'all! Back in August, I had the chance to write a short story for a lovely contest held by a couple blogger friends. I made a world-building/character post after I submitted it.

Hey y'all! I'm super excited because today I am doing the Sunshine Blogger Award tag (again)! I've done it once before, but since my sweet friend Amelie tagged me, I thought why the heck not. 😀 So without any further adieu, let's go! ~R U L E S~ 1. Thank the blogger who nominated you … Continue reading here comes the sun // the sunshine blogger award, round 2
Hey y'all! The last few weeks I've been working on a short story. Wait, let me back up. About a month ago, I got a few emails from various bloggers I follow about a collaboration they were doing called the Symphony of Words contest. I immediately was intrigued and clicked their stuff to find out … Continue reading of silver and spice tea // sweet characters and sweeter plots
