I’ve had a frustrating realization, and I decided to share it with everyone here. My reason for it isn’t to garner sympathy, but to show how I use the skills I write about. This post may be long, and I’ll put a TRIGGER WARNING here that I’m going to be discussing the ways depression and… Read More Freeform Friday: My battle with depression
I never dreamed I’d be a plotter. The very idea of an outline made my head hurt and erased the desire to write a single word. Now… now I am a plotter. At least for Half-Life of a Soul.
(Please note, the image for this post will be me in a relatively short time.) Well, another week has flown by. I’m having my usual Friday morning feeling of, “I didn’t accomplish anything this week.” I hate that feeling because it’s so rarely true. Still, not seeing progress in any tangible way is often frustrating.… Read More Free-form Friday: Just an update on me
I’ve been making steady-ish progress on the Half-Life of a Soul (HLOAS) series. It has been very slow, though.

Now, it’s time for a change, and I know… Read More Freeform Friday: Dear Future Me
I’m planning some big changes this year. One of them is that I’ll be moving. I’m not sure if I’ll be buying, or renting a little longer, but it’s time to do it. Thankfully, it’s not happening until late this year, so I don’t have to start packing today! Still, it’s running my brain around… Read More Freeform Friday: Looking forward
I wish I had a dime for every time someone threw some little cliche about change at me. That’s the kind of change I know how to use! No! Don’t go! I swear I’m not turning into a dad-joke machine! In all seriousness, I’ve been thinking about change because I may have some rather large… Read More Freeform Friday: Second thoughts about change
A super motivational hashtag and a real life application.… Read More Motivational Monday: When This Is All Over
