Where do I even start? A fair number of big things happened in 2019. I am, to put it mildly, pretty tired. Here's why. I Went Vegan One of the main tenets of Methodism is "Do no harm." In 2019, I tried to minimize the harm I cause, starting with what I eat. I'm pretty… Continue reading 2019 Recap: Farewell to an Exhausting Year
I lived all 30 days of November but I barely remember any of them. Somehow, I condensed a year's worth of activities into a single month. When I started the month, I thought I'd be fitting writing sessions between social engagements, horror movies, and book rereads. HA.

I still wanted to blog, though; my mom, aunt, and I had gone book shopping and picked up some exciting… Continue reading NaNoWriMo Update: Day 20

And, in true 4-on-the-enneagram fashion, I've been moping about it. Why was this so much easier when I was in college? Since when am I concerned… Continue reading NaNoWriMo Update: Day 6
NANOWRIMO IS UPON US. My plan at the beginning of last month was to announce a month-long hiatus so I could work on a novel for the next 30 days. Now I'm not so sure. I have an idea for a novel that I've worked on before. I planned to do a grand restart last… Continue reading National Novel Writing Month
