Books, Writing, & The Cozy Life
My mind was recently blown. Maybe this has happened to you? I was scrolling through Twitter and taking in my daily allotment of world atrocities, when I came across this tweet: I need to have a word with whoever taught academics to put two spaces after a period. — Nicole Hemmer (@pastpunditry) June 24, 2017...

A co-worker recently asked me how I managed to read so much, which made me laugh out loud. I laughed because 1) I don't read as much as many others or as much as I'd like; and 2) I currently have a room full of yellow jacket carcasses and a basement floor covered in laundry... Continue Reading →
I've been having quite a difficult time with this blog over the last few weeks. I've been in the process of switching to a self-hosted blog, and I did everything wrong on my first go round. That meant that I had to re-do everything and I still don't think it's quite right. And on top... Continue Reading →
When we moved into our house, we started planting berry bushes almost right away. Our blueberry bushes have exploded in the last few weeks, and we've already picked all of our raspberries and strawberries. We were lucky to find some wild blackberry bushes all over the bluff down to the river behind our house. My... Continue Reading →
Did you notice that I posted five times last week? I was playing catch up on some books that I'd finished over the last couple of weeks and stayed motivated to write all week. I had this really intense manic phase where I, for a brief period of time, lived the life I wanted: I... Continue Reading →
Late last year I wrote about participating in National Novel Writing Month. So that means I’ve had a 50,000+ word document sitting in my Dropbox that hasn’t been touched since the end of November. The reasons for this are innumerable: it’s been hard to regain the momentum that I had during NaNoWriMo; it’s been tricky... Continue Reading →
Happy New Year! 2017 is finally here and I am stoked for a ton of reasons. New years always feel like a fresh start. I love setting specific and measurable goals (can't you tell that I work in Quality Assurance?) and plugging away to reach them. I know that this is a reading and writing... Continue Reading →
Happy New Year's Eve! I've put together a list of some of my favorite books and writing links from this week. I hope that you enjoy them and find a little nugget to take with you! Self Publishing: An Insult to the Written Word - it's a bit judgmental and insulting to self publishers, but... Continue Reading →
Whew! I was worried that this post wouldn't happen before the year ended, but I am just getting it in! I also want to do a 2017 Goal post, but that can wait until the New Year if I need to. 2016 has been a strange year for me. I went from working full time... Continue Reading →
In November, I participated in National Novel Writing Month. In a nutshell: the goal is to write 50,000 words in 30 days. To do that, you would need to write 1,667 words per day on average. And along the way, you enter in your daily word count, get inspirational emails from authors, and there are message... Continue Reading →
