Oh, look, we bought a house! (And I became super stressed out)
Please subscribe to my newsletter: Self-Care For Writers. It’s currently 5:40am on Thursday, August 16th, and I have been up since somewhere around 3 in the morning. This week has been terrible for my sleep and so, at the encouragement of my ever-loving, exceedingly patient, totally supportive husband Adam, I decided it was time to write about it. There’s only one problem: My writing brain is barely working lately. I hate to be one of those people that complains about all the crap going on in my life but, give me a minute, because I am going to do that anyway. You see, I had shoulder surgery back in mid-April after my…

How this night owl is going to attempt to become a morning lark
Please subscribe to my newsletter: Self-Care For Writers. I spent a good amount of time last night researching ways to become a morning lark instead of the night owl I naturally am. And today, despite going to bed later than I planned to, I am up again at 6 am, trying to form a habit that I hope will stick in the long run. We shall see. When it comes to being a night owl, which is what I have always considered myself to be, I don’t know if that’s actually true. Yes, I feel active and not even remotely tired in the hours before bedtime, but does that actually make me…

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…

I love brunch and he loves pizza, so let’s get married!
Please subscribe to my newsletter to get writing news and updates. When Adam and I first met, I discovered that my date absolutely LOVED pizza. So, for our fourth date, I made us pizza for dinner after a rousing two rounds of mini golf (I lost both times). Shortly after, Adam discovered how much I loved brunch and took me to his favorite breakfast café—where we still go back time and again. And so, our first inside joke began: He loves pizza, I love brunch. As we learned more about each other, my adventurous foodie spirit and recent move out of NYC led me to joke that I was going to start…

September Writer’s Life: Hurricanes & a real vacation [#yearofwriting]
Please subscribe to my newsletter to get writing news and updates. What can I say about the month of September? To be honest, I don’t even know where to start. The truth about this month is that I almost didn’t work. First of all: I had a pre-planned vacation for a good chunk of the month. My fiancé Adam and I had been planning our trip to Europe ever since I surprised him on his birthday with concert tickets to see one of his favorite artist who was going to be giving a once-in-a-lifetime concert in Tilburg, The Netherlands in September. We decided to visit Amsterdam for a week and pair that…
