Listen to What You Don’t Want to Read (How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents)
By now, you know that I’ve recently gotten into audiobooks. Turns out, it inspired a new motto: Listen to what you don’t want to read. I had the most difficult time getting through How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents. I’ve enjoyed some of Julia Alvarez’s other work, but this one was tough. From the…

Tips for a Productive Writing Session and Why I Still Don’t Have a Writing Routine
I’ve tried. Really, I have. I’ve tried getting up early, staying up late, blocking out a day during the week; but no matter what I try, I cannot maintain a consistent writing routine. But who says I need one? There are a lot of voices in the world telling us what we need to be…

Creating an Environment to Create
I struggled for weeks to sit down and create a social media plan. When I finally get a day where I have time, I can’t seem to focus or come up with any ideas. All I can manage by the end of the day is how I’m going to color code my content calendar and…

Nice Thick Journals
You know, I was really excited about creating these journals. Like, really excited. Mostly because I haven’t been able to find large journals lately, and I knew if I wanted one, someone else would want one as well. However, my efforts at releasing them are feeling lackluster. I feel like I’ve been talking about them…

On Names
I’ve been struggling with names for the past couple of days. How it started: Christmas Eve I was on Google doing Googley things and somehow found myself in the middle of an article about the transliteration of “Yeshua” and how it changed from Hebrew to Greek to Latin to Swedish (I think) to English and…

Always a New Project and Taking Some Time
I always find a way to add stuff to my plate instead of focusing on one thing at a time like I probably should. I tend to find projects that will distract me from the real things I need to be doing. This time, however, the project found me! My employer/coworker decided during one of…

Initial Product Samples
I’m trying to be intentional about acting on my vision and not just visualizing, so I ordered some t-shirt samples and a tote bag from Vistaprint. First up, the “There’s No Revenge Body” tank. It’s a quote from one of my essays in Discovering My Outside Voice. This tank is not soft like I prefer,…

Unhiding and Digging In
I have a habit of keeping to the background in life. I like to be behind the scenes. I’m also good at being non-committal. When I have a job, I do good work, but I never let myself commit to the place or the people. I keep my interest surface-level because I know well how…
