As a writer, I hope that you’ve read a few books of your own. When we’re in a bookstore, what’s one of the first things we do? We look at the cover and then turn over to the back summary. I know this might push your limits but this what we’re going to do today.Continue reading “Summary Day”

Day 3: Research Repeat
Now that you’ve chosen your story, it’s time for a little research. Gather the information you need to start writing your story. The difference in this challenge is that you’re only getting today to do it. You get one day to look up towns, cities, character information, historical facts, or fantasy ideas. Today is allContinue reading “Day 3: Research Repeat”
Day 2: Choose Your Book
The great thing about monthly challenges is that you are given a specific about of time to complete your goal. I don’t know about you but one of the reasons I started doing challenges each month was to keep myself on track. If I don’t have a deadline or specific timeframe, I tend to wanderContinue reading “Day 2: Choose Your Book”

The first day of October is here and the goal of this month is to get your novel ready for NaNoWriMo, the month where writers all over the world try to reach 50,000 words by the end of the month. Having taken classes from other writers with the same goal of writing a book inContinue reading “Preptober Begins: Day #1”
Getting Ready to Write
Preptober begins tomorrow and many fingers will start to tap the keys in fury because they want to finish that novel they’ve been working on for months. Are you joining all the writers who participate this year? I said I might not have time because of the art events I’m in for the next fewContinue reading “Getting Ready to Write”
Pre-Preptober
We are one day away from the end of the month and I’m sharing a sneak peak into next month. Since the goal of the next few months is to get everyone writing instead of reading, my posts will be short and sweet. I’ve been pre-prepping a list to help get you ready to writeContinue reading “Pre-Preptober”
Season of Changes
I was driving down the highway and over the Minnesota River when I looked over the side the bridge at the golden and light orange colors of the trees. It doesn’t matter how long I’ve lived up North, the changing of the leaves always catches me by surprise. This is the time of year whenContinue reading “Season of Changes”
Prompt Day
Spinning off of yesterday’s post, I think it’s time we revisit our words. Do you find yourself typing away like a machine at times? Do your words feel mechanical? I think it’s time to visit the flow of what we put on paper. The rhythm of words can change how you feel. After I readContinue reading “Prompt Day”
Skip Day
Last Friday, I had a skip day because I was shivering under the covers. My body always disagrees with the changing of the seasons and I usually end up with something. Frankly, I wish it would get over this kind of change but it might just be the way I’m built. Vitamins, teas, and otherContinue reading “Skip Day”
Pastry Run
Have you ever been woken up by being licked in the face by something warm and furry early in the morning? Well, I don’t have that. I have a husband. Why he suddenly decided that making an early morning pastry run at 7:30 on the day I like to sleep in was a good idea,Continue reading “Pastry Run”
Seller Frustration
Last night my life turned into a TikTok because of an update on Etsy. All that was required was an update to my seller information and an update to my bank account. I thought this was only going to take 15 minutes but I was locked out of my frozen account. Nothing was going inContinue reading “Seller Frustration”
Humpday!
This week I opened the door and woke up to a world that belonged in Halloween land. The fog had rolled in and I couldn’t see more than a few houses down. I imagined what would happen if Mother Nature decided to indulge our fantasy worlds and Halloween turned foggy. Taking the every day worldContinue reading “Humpday!”
