It's not that I'm forgetting to write, and it's not that I have nothing to write about. It's that anytime I'm not at work or in a class, then I'm walking the pup or filming an audition or editing my novel or going over finances. And if I'm not doing that, then I'm exhausted, and … Continue reading Chihuahuas
I forgot to post this last week
I'm a precarious writer and these are precarious times. September's just around the corner and although I barely notice the seasons passing anymore, this turn of season does come with some decisions that I need to make. I love my job. Even when I get groan-worthy assignments, I feel so lucky to have it. The … Continue reading I forgot to post this last week
ADHD: A little about too much.
What a day I've had. I know it's been a while, and I'd like to say it's because I've been busy—which is true, I have been busy—but I know that's no excuse because I started this blog as a university student and wrote posts daily through uni classes, running clubs, a part time job, writing … Continue reading ADHD: A little about too much.
Life Updates: I’m Still Here
It's been a while. I got busy, but I'm still here. https://youtu.be/ZcLxtLRs2YY
Quarantine Haircuts
I think nearly everyone's done an in-home haircut of some kind by this point. I trimmed my bangs over the summer, and my sister Amy cut my brother's hair. I made videos of both. Enjoy. Also, I've reached 400 followers after six years of blogging, so thank you for that. If you aren't following, I … Continue reading Quarantine Haircuts
The New Job
I'm sorry I haven't written in a minute, but as you can probably guess from the title, I've been occupied. In January, I was lucky enough to start a new job. My first permanent full-time job, and in the middle of a recession no less (although, it seems there's a recession every year, so perhaps … Continue reading The New Job
Ivy’s 2020 Recommendations
I don't review books, tv shows, or films anymore because I hate saying bad things about them, but I still want to share some great finds. So, after a year which has allowed me to consume more art than usual, I have come up with a list of my favourites. Books: I did not read … Continue reading Ivy’s 2020 Recommendations
Alone on Christmas Eve (and loving it)
Tonight I sit in my new (to me) reading chair, alone on Christmas Eve. My last post was a month ago, and what a month it's been! I've been busy, and there have been some big changes in my life. The biggest being that I've moved into my own place. It's a basement suite without … Continue reading Alone on Christmas Eve (and loving it)
Streaming Instead of Screaming
In my last post, I mentioned that there were two people in the world whose loss I didn't think I could handle. Now one of them has COVID. Amy was over for my birthday the week before she tested positive, so I had to quarantine and got tested for the fifth time. Negative. The tests … Continue reading Streaming Instead of Screaming
Thoughts on Death
It is approximately the eleventh anniversary of the day I began writing my big bad book. It currently stands at 103,741 words. I might have finished it by now, but I haven't written anything since Foxy died. On Friday, October 16th, I was writing a scene by hand, writing down for the first time some … Continue reading Thoughts on Death
