A Springtime Update

Hi, everyone! … It’s been awhile since I’ve blogged, I know! I hope you’re all doing well & enjoying the beginning of a new month. It’s just turned spring here and the weather is seriously starting to act like it—sunshine, flowers, warmer weather (the last of which I’m NOT that fond of, believe it or …

Greece Recap + Getting Back Into the Groove of Things

Finally, I’m getting a chance to write up this post!! I came back from Greece a little while back…and it was amazing. I knew, of course, that I’d like it—but it was truly an amazing experience. So much of what I’m currently writing is inspired by Greek mythology and seeing things that I’ve dreamt of …

General Updates + What’s Currently On My Writing Playlists

Long time, no blog, I guess? I swear this year has utterly flown by so far! But I thought I would write up a blog post with some updates & things that are happening. I turned twenty-one mid-March (eeeep! Still can’t believe this!) and ate PLENTIFUL amounts of cake (chocolate mud cake to be specific—which …

For When You’re Stuck In that Writing Rut…

First blog post of 2018! I hope you ALL had a wonderful Christmas/holiday/New Year period. But before I begin, I just want to start with a bunch of updates/other stuff. 1) There’s a giveaway happening on my Twitter account! You only have until the 31st to enter, so get on it! 2) I took a …

Hades & Persephone: The Queen of Life and Death (& Why I Love Her)

So.... This post was actually intended to be a series of Tweets on my Twitter account…but somehow, I ended up with over 800 words, so I thought it would be better suited for a blog post. This was, in part, inspired by my previous post earlier this year on why I love fairy-tales (and mythology), and …

NaNoWriMo: Week Two

"Let perseverance be your engine and hope your fuel." —H. Jackson Brown, Jr. Sooo...week two! This is always a hard week for everyone, I think. Things change in week two. I realize what a huge undertaking NaNoWriMo is. Doubt is beginning to crawl along the edges of my mind. I mean, NaNoWriMo have even called it the "week …

Current Reads & What I’m Listening To

Hi, everyone! So, it’s October! Which means warmer weather (or, if you’re on the other side of the world, then autumn leaves and frost), candy (!!! I. Love. Halloween.) … and the one-month countdown to NaNoWriMo. I told myself last month I’d participate and I plan on holding myself to that, and if I’m successful, …

It’s Spring! + Writing Burn-Out

Hey, everyone! As much as I adore the cold weather, I’m super-glad it’s spring…because spring means so many glorious photography opportunities (and reading out in the sun and not getting icy-cold.) The flowers are in bloom, the skies are blue, and in Greek mythology, Persephone has returned from the Underworld and is raising the flowers …

Recent Book Recommendations, What I’ve Been Up To, & A Teaser From My Current WIP

Happy July, everyone! You're either freezing your butt off, or you're sweltering hot, and here in Australia, I love the fact that it's winter. A perfect excuse to read out in the gentle winter sunshine and curl up in a sweater/in front of the heater at night. I’ve been in such a huggeee reading slump lately, …
