I really am a work in progress. I make a plan, I stick to it for awhile, I get derailed and I have to start all over. So here I am at the start of a new school year, starting over with a new plan. I’ve been so very exhausted the last two weeks since…

Transitions can be hard. Regardless of the excitement leading up to a transition, it can still cause stress. Summer is right around the corner (my kids’ last day of school is this Friday) and while I am excited for the things that Summer break will bring (no alarms!), I’m anxious about the change to my…

I’ve continued to work on my short story for the StoryADay Fun-Size Challenge and I’m really enjoying it. I know it’s not perfect and I may be taking too long to get to the point, but I’m having fun and that’s the point. Something that Julie from StoryADay says in every episode of her podcast…

Today’s task was to write the beginning of our short story, then brainstorm for the middle. It was really hard to stick to brainstorming and not actually write the middle. But I’m sticking to the structure that Julie has in place for this challenge. I think that by using this step by step structure it…

I’m sitting at the zoo, waiting for my daughter’s volunteer shift to be over. I brought my laptop along, expecting to get all kinds of writing done. I did not. At least, not as much as I’d hoped. But that’s okay. I did some brainstorming, which was the objective for today in the Fun Size…
