    The importance of taking breaks and holidays (Memorial Day, anyone?) as a freelancer [Self-Care For Writers]

    May 24, 2019 /

    Please subscribe to my newsletter: Self-Care For Writers. Note: This is the latest Self-Care For Writers newsletter. Please subscribe to receive future ones straight to your mailbox!  It’s been a few months since a Self-Care For Writers newsletter, and for that, I apologize. But the truth is that, between a new job and some health issues, I’ve been prioritizing my own self-care and not focusing on writing this newsletter. The good news, though, is that this means I have a ton of ideas that I will be bringing you monthly… Starting with today. It’s currently just past lunchtime on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend in the U.S. (where I am based). Back when I…

    Is bad sleep getting in the way of your writing? [Self-Care For Writers]

    February 10, 2019 /

    Please subscribe to my newsletter: Self-Care For Writers. Note: This is the latest Self-Care For Writers newsletter. Please subscribe to receive future ones straight to your mailbox!  Yesterday, I woke up after a terrible night of sleep for the second day in a row and promptly spent most of the morning in tears over various things going on in my life. At first, I couldn’t fully understand what exactly was going on with me. Was I PMSing? Are some of these things really stressing me out that much? Can I blame anyone else for my shitty mood? But no, it turns out, most of what was to blame was my lack of…

    Let me get real honest about my struggles with mental health lately

    February 6, 2019 /

    Please subscribe to my newsletter: Self-Care For Writers. I read somewhere once that, when you break, you don’t quite get put back together the same again. The Japanese art of kintsugi repairs those broken pieces with gold but, to be honest, I’ve never really felt like my scars were majestic parts of myself to show off. Instead, I’ve mostly kept those physical and emotional scars hidden deep beneath the surface — one at time peeking out when I felt strong enough to share. For years, I’ve prided myself on being fearless in my writing and yet I’ve kept silent the past couple of months about the struggles of my mind. Sure, I’ve…

    Well, here are my 2019 writing goals… with a twist [#yearofwriting]

    January 2, 2019 /

    Please subscribe to my newsletter: Self-Care For Writers. Well, as you’ve probably read about in my December 2018 writer’s life, last year did not go as wonderfully as I hoped. I did not make my financial goals for the year and I felt extremely burnt-out at the end of the month, which I am still kind of dealing with. However, I also had a lot of personal stuff happening (new marriage! shoulder surgery! bought a house!) so I think it’s okay. I’m ready to tackle 2019… But first, I wanted to do the math on how much I actually wrote last year. How many stories I wrote in 2018: 299 That’s 18 in…
