For writers (and probably everyone!) time management will always be crucial. Life gets busy so quickly and before you know it, the day (or week/month/year!) has flown right by. Even if the stars align and I have a bunch of time on my hands, somehow it still is difficult to get everything done. So what […]
Today we’re looking at 8 practical ways we can be intentional about improving as writers. With a new year starting it’s the perfect time to think about how we want to be learning and growing! We don’t need to tackle all 8 strategies at once! But building some of these practices into our schedules and […]
Happy New Year! As promised, we’re kicking off the year talking about goals. One of my favorite things! 🙂 We don’t need to be stressed, intimidated, or legalistic about it all: Goals can look like many different things and they can be a hugely useful tool even when used minimally. Along with goals we’ll also […]
The start of the school year is here and with it we have a few crisp fall-weather weeks just bristling with potential. Which means it’s time to pull out all our notebooks and evaluate where we want that potential to take us! I’ve talked about setting goals a decent amount before because it’s one of […]
New year, new goals, fresh starts. What do you want to do this year? Who do you want to be? What do you want to leave behind? I’ve been rethinking goals and priorities and it’s both challenging and refreshing to contemplate changes. What would it look like if we could shape our lives how we […]

Sometimes there just seems so much to do. Those books won’t write themselves, you know! There’s pressure to hustle harder and get our butts on the chair and write write write. And they’re not wrong. But sometimes sticking to our to-do lists, hustling, and being busy busy busy isn’t actually the best way to go […]
Often I feel like I have too many writing projects and too little time! I have all sorts of stories I want to be working on and it can be hard to sort out how that works alongside the rest of life. (Anyone else??) Lately a lot of my writing times are only 5-15 minutes […]
There is always something so exciting about January and looking at the new year ahead, putting the past behind us and starting fresh. It’s a great time to reflect on where we’ve been and where we’re going. To review how we’re doing mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. And I hope we’re also taking time to […]
Between a couple birthdays and the start of school, life is a bit bonkers at my house! And I’ve been reminded that sometimes taking a break is important. Rest is important. I’ll be taking the rest of September off from creating new content on my blog. Instead I’m going to link to a few older […]
