Wait, it's all over? Already? What happened to 2022? It's been a strange year. I feel like it started off so slow, with me not really knowing what I wanted or where I was going with it all, and now, twelve months later, so much has changed. I spent 2019-2021 living in an Arctic peninsula... Continue Reading →
I Just Failed – Big Time
It was all supposed to work itself out, but then... I don't even know how it happened. Okay - I'm overreacting.

Finding Motivation
Lately I've been lost. The last week or two, I've felt like I had no idea what I'm doing with myself. Not just with writing, but with everything I'm trying to do. Work has been unfulfilling, my training felt like it was at a standstill, and my creative endeavors felt pointless. Life's as a whole... Continue Reading →

It's finally at a place where I can leave it in the hands of someone else. Now, while... Continue Reading →
Finishing a Book & Not Knowing What To Do With Yourself
Ever read a book and felt a wave of sadness wash over you as you realize it's over and you can never relive that adventure in quite the same way again? Apparently that happens when you write books too. I just finished a novel I started in November. It was supposed to be last years... Continue Reading →
Everything Is Going Great – And That Scares Me
It's when you're at your highest that you have the farthest to fall. I'm not good at recognizing wins or celebrating my victories—a fact I've been trying to make myself more aware of over the years, so I can rectify it. In fact, I've written about it here on my blog several times. Losses seem... Continue Reading →
