Romance novels have been a point of contention in my life for years. I grew up shunning romance stories. Even my mother shunned them. Romance novels were silly. They didn't have much plot. They always had happy endings. And they were smutty. And smutty was bad. As I mentioned in my previous post, I spent … Continue reading In Defense of Romance
August marks National Romance Novel Month and honestly with how the year is going, many people need a little light hearted pick me up right about now. I have to be honest, when I was younger, I wasn't a fan of romance. I thought it was silly. Being an ace didn't help much. I wasn't … Continue reading National Romance Novel Month
When I was getting all nostalgic about my childhood favorites, I also looked through some of my adulthood reads and I found that I loved a lot of books. I also hated a lot of books and I could make a whole new post about that, but right now I'm going to focus on the … Continue reading Favorite Books So Far in My Adulthood
It's been a rocky 6 months. I wanted to do something like this since June but I was still wrestling with job loss and just the general feel of 2020 so far. I always like to revisit my resolutions to better focus on ones that I'm not doing great on. But this year felt more … Continue reading Revisiting my 2020 Resolutions
How's everyone's July going? It's been a messy Camp NaNo for me. I haven't been super motivated but I have forced myself into writing sprints with friends and all those lovely people on Youtube who have been creating daily sprint livestreams. I'm also kinda blah on topics right now. I have August. most of September, … Continue reading Moving Writing Prompts
Welcome to July. We've made it this far! I'm proud of us. Today is one of those days that happen when I get busy. When life starts moving forward at a thousand miles an hour. I'm sitting at my desk at work waiting for the day to begin and be trampled with a hundred things … Continue reading Can I Call Myself A Writer?
I've been putting this off all month. It's been a weird time for me and I've spoken about it once or twice on this blog. I'm sure you've also had an extremely weird time too. And I did want to talk about my birth month. I turn 28 in June. I am usually the person … Continue reading Personal Post: Birthday Month, Turning 28, Life Update
Not too long ago, I took a trip back to my parents' home. I was collecting a few more of my items from my old bedroom (cleaning up stuff I left unfinished) and began to slowly but surely pack away a few dozen books from my old bookshelves. Now where I live now, I don't … Continue reading Favorite Books from My Childhood
I have always been an avid reader. As a child I would hole up in the corner of my room with a stack of books and I would spend the entire day reading. I was forced to go outside by my mom multiple times and I would always bring a book. I even brought books … Continue reading How I Rediscovered Reading (Audiobook Appreciation Month)
I went back and forth about posting this. I had another post ready to go at 11:30 and then at 11:00 I stopped myself. I didn't want to get serious again on here. I had gotten serious far too many times (for far less), but then I realized I was required to say something. I … Continue reading We Need to Do Better
