Please subscribe to my newsletter to get writing news and updates. The last time I wrote here on my little blog + portfolio site, I talked excitedly about my 2018 writing goals. I had set big ones for myself in 2017 and accomplished half of them early, so I revised my goals for 2017 and accomplish most of those too. It felt great. In fact, I felt REALLY GOOD going into 2018. The biggest thing is that I got married at the end of 2017 to the man who has proven, time and again, to be my #1 fan. The second thing is that, after a year of posting about my #yearofwriting, I…

January 2018 Writing Life: My new year has kind of hit a snag [#yearofwriting]
Please subscribe to my newsletter to get writing news and updates. It’s the start of the year and it felt like a really exciting time when I wrote down all of my writing goals for 2018 recently. One of the things I didn’t consider at the time, though, is that I’d still like to continue doing these #yearofwriting posts because they have been a really good for me. I really enjoy keeping myself accountable with all of my work and still putting all of my clips on here. It’s very encouraging, and I hope to keep encouraging myself. So without further ado… What was published: Here’s What Happened When I Went From…

My writing goals for 2018 and the
future of #yearofwritingPlease subscribe to my newsletter to get writing news and updates. Well, it’s a new year so HAPPY NEW YEAR and all of that! I’m starting off 2018 in a pretty exciting way, to be honest, by spending most of the beginning of the year by celebrating my new marriage to the love of my life and the most supportive partner I could ask for. After getting married a few days ago, Adam and I are off on a honeymoon cruise to Cuba tomorrow… But, in the meantime, I am taking some time today to think about how 2017 went and my plans for 2018. All in all, 2017 went really well.…

December Writer’s Life: How much I made & wrote in 2017 during the #yearofwriting
Please subscribe to my newsletter to get writing news and updates. Well, here we are. It’s the end of my #yearofwriting and I have some hefty writing goals to live up to. I’ll get into more of that later in this post, but first I just wanted to talk about December. What happened in December? Well, for one, it was a VERY busy month for me personally. Not only did I have plenty of socializing and family things to do (what with the holidays and all) but I also got married at the end of the month. Yes, that’s right, I did a big thing and ended my year as a married…

Why do we still tell women that their lives begin when they get married?
Please subscribe to my newsletter to get writing news and updates. “Tomorrow my life begins.” I can’t even tell you how many times I have heard this phrase uttered on the various wedding blogs, websites, and groups that I have been a part of ever since getting engaged earlier this year. Although, as a society, we are getting married later and later, the notion that a woman’s life truly begins the day that she puts that ring on her finger remains. There are a lot of reasons for this that I don’t particularly want to get into at the moment (the patriarchy, obviously, being one of them) but let me say this:…
