It's March, aka Birthday Month for yours truly! February was a busy month, with our move to the new house, but I got plenty of writing done as well. Here are the highlights from what I put out onto the web in February:I started re-watching Sailor Moon and realized that the show is my morning person origin storyIn response to Age of Empathy's prompt about the returning light, I wrote about winter dog walks and trying to make peace with the cold times.It's been a bit since I wrote... more

Happy new year, my friends! And what a start to the year it has been. I've gone all in on writing, leaving behind my full time job in Student Affairs to try and build my writing career. It has been exhilarating and terrifying and overwhelming, to say the least.I'm mostly in the learning phase at this point, doing research and poking around to see what's out there. In the meantime, I'm continuing to write on Your Book Friend and Medium. Here are the highlights from... more

I started a new weekly column on my book blog, Your... more

In October, I mostly wrote about books, since I aimed to post once per day on my book blog. I successfully completed Blogtober, and you can... more

September was an incredibly busy month at the day job, yet somehow, also a pretty prolific writing month. I finally felt the tug to write some personal essays and even try my hand at a little humor after a few months of feeling wrung out and mainly writing about books. It helps that I've started to go out into the world and do things that might inspire said personal essays again, I think. Here's what I put out in September: I started a new Tarot Tuesdays series on my self-care blog,... more

August is a dark time for me as an introvert who works in Student Affairs. Orientation is a lot of sudden socialization after the quiet of summer, and it rolls right into the start of the semester with nary a day to recharge. As much as I love meeting our incoming students and feeling that start of the year energy, I also very much love the first day where I don't have to talk to anyone. In spite of the business, I managed to keep my writing hat on for at least some of the time, which... more
