Hey y'all! It is once again Tuesday, and the peddler of literary wares (aka me) has arrived with a satchel full of wonderful tidbits and odds n' ends. 🙂 We've got some good stuff today, loves! Earlier this week, one of my favorite YouTubers (Jack Edwards) posted on his Instagram story about how Harvard was … Continue reading learning for funsies // why we should keep pursuing knowledge
Hey y'all! I was looking for a nice quote to start this post off with, and I didn't find one so have this instead, I guess. Oh well. It's the same effect really, just with different words and also a frog. XD To start off this post at break-neck speed, I am going to announce … Continue reading return to writing // historical deep-diving + character development
Hey y'all! I've had a good week, and I hope you have had a good one, too! This week was momentous, to say the least. I turned seventeen and hit 200 subscribers on this blog!! Woo!! That is so crazy to me. All in all, I've had a pretty swell week. One of the things … Continue reading God the provider // for lack of a better word
Hey y'all! I don't know about you, but I tend to be overly critical of my projects. This could be my current novel (Mirage of Shards) or a song I'm working on; whatever it is, in the moments that I am not completely enamored by my stunning wit and intellect, I tend to beat myself … Continue reading creed // a heart’s longing to be more and decision to be content with pressing on
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. First of all, nothing that is happening is out of God's hand. He is holding each one of us close to His heart and will never let … Continue reading who is madeleine? // the mystery blogger award (she’s a mystery to even herself)
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. This feeling could be compared to going over the big hill on a roller coaster, knowing the "easy part" is behind you, and knowing that if you try to … Continue reading nostalgic for something undiscovered // a feeling i can’t put into words and andrew peterson’s new book
Hey y'all! You know, for a writer, I sure have a hard time actually writing. Life has been crazy lately, and while that is no excuse, it has still been exceptionally hard to actually get myself motivated to do anything. A n y t h i n g. I suppose that that is a sort … Continue reading check in // a short ramble
Hey y'all! I read something recently that really spoke to me. I went and dug it up because I think it's important for today. Every good writer knows that the characters they create have a certain extension of themselves written into them. What I wanted to explore today was how my characters have grown since … Continue reading character development // how jaxen and the writer are doing
Hey y'all! It's kinda hard to believe that we are almost half way through the month of January!! It feels like we were just at Christmas! The first semester was a whirlwind, but I've got a feeling that the second semester will be even faster. In the midst of all of this, among many things, … Continue reading woah buddy how’m i doin // writing check up + mos snippet
