Writing Journey | Overcoming Fear, Self-Doubt and Failures
Hii! I know, crazy I am posting this type of blog post on this lovely Monday. I just did a quick check – the last time I wrote a journal entry was September 2022… 9 months ago! I truly wish I could say in those 9 months, I wrote an amazing first draft that I am now editing away with the intention to query soon to hopefully have my book published… but that would be a HUGE lie. The excitement I have when opening up a fresh blog post knowing full well I will be diving into a writing update was long gone. I would back out, get too scared…

Writing Journey| Big Updates, New Outlook, and Inspo for Book 1
September 5th 2022 7:03 am Hi Everyone and Happy Monday! Firstly, I wanted to thank everyone for all the encouragement, love, and such nice words on my new and improved blog. It was so daunting to hit publish on the site and the first blog post back, but the kindness I received reminded me why I love the reading community so much! I am also very excited to be jumping back into writing and documenting the progress, the fears, and the wins. If you’re new and don’t really know what the ‘writing’ section of my blog is or if you’ve always been here and haven’t seen one of these posts…

Life Update | Mental Health, Big Changes, and Editing Book 1
I have started and restarted this blog post several times that I am just going to dive right into it.. I sincerely apologize if it is all over the place, a lot has happened… or not happened, over the last month and a half. I have missed this blog and everyone so much! I wanted to start off by saying that while I have not been blogging, I have been reading other people’s book reviews, beauty posts, and overall life updates. Thank you to those who reached out to say nice things, and just to check up on where I have been lol! I have been so silent the last…

Writing Update | Fear of Editing + Giveaway WINNER
December 14th, 2020 5:00 p.m This is a loooong overdue post and I can’t even begin to explain why I’ve been so silent on this blog and basically all socials recently… I’ll try though. I started a new job around the end of October (thankfully considering like most people I have been unemployed since the pandemic hit – note if you are struggling trust me something will come your way soon enough!). This job gave me such a hard time in trying to find some semblance of a routine that worked for me and didn’t have me crawling to the bed every evening from sheer tiredness. Then one thing after…

Gratitude and Life Update
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canadians! And if you aren’t having Thanksgiving today, then Happy Monday! Now, I am a big believer in being thankful all day, every day… but it is nice to have a day where everyone is in this together and trying to be as positive as they can. Also – I am very aware of this day having some problematic underlying annotations… I really don’t participate in it in that sense. It’s more being appreciative and positive. I decided to list some things I am truly thankful for this year (although let’s be real it was a rough one): Health! Oh gosh, I am…

Writing Update: Tips & Tricks on Completing Draft 1
Happy Hump Day! I have truly and dearly missed coming onto WordPress, reading everyone’s posts on what they’ve been up to or reading or writing, and just overall blogging on here! I don’t even know how I lasted so long without hopping on here to gush about books with you all and scroll through the endless and fun book tags! I have been on a little teeny tiny hiatus from basically all things social media and blogging. It wasn’t super intentional, but I did know I would be taking a step back to focus on more reading before jumping into editing draft 1 and creating draft 2 of my WIP.…
