Every so often, I'll have an idea for a story. This has been happening since long before I wrote. The ideas usually come right before bed or as soon as I wake up. I think it's because that's when I'm not busy with everything that normally occupies my mind. Unfortunately, it's been a while since … Continue reading Sooner or Later

My First Rant (About Everything)
My computer is getting slower by the day and it is driving my crazy. Also driving me crazy? My room. I don't have a chair for my desk so I have to bend over to use my laptop which is uncomfortable and probably bad for me. I have stuff all over the floor in an … Continue reading My First Rant (About Everything)
Now What?
Well, I don't have any school to go back to in September. I thought I might take some classes but that's not looking like it'll happen until May. I've got a part-time job, but as stated, it's only part-time. So what will I do the rest of the time? Before I started this blog, I … Continue reading Now What?
Starting Again
I hope you all had a good weekend! Without work or university and with all my friends already leaving for other cities and countries, I've had to find my own reasons for leaving my room. On Sunday there was the Craft Market, the last one I'll be in town for, so I went to look at … Continue reading Starting Again
Oh, How I’ve Grown
It's awkward posting again after a post like that, but I'm glad you all liked it so much. It's now my most liked post of all time, so thank you. Why do I write? It's bizarre to think back to fourteen-year-old me sitting at my desk one November afternoon and picking up a pen with … Continue reading Oh, How I’ve Grown
Writing Influences
In class this week we were thinking about what makes us the kind of writers we are. This was good timing because I've been thinking a lot lately about the writer I am, the writer I want to be, and the writer I will most likely end up being. All three are fairly different from … Continue reading Writing Influences
Libraries Rock!
I got a library card today. Best. Day. Ever. This solves a lot of my recent problems. Can't afford a book? Can't bring it on the plane? Don't know if I'll like it? It's okay! I've got a library card! Libraries have upped their game since the last time I borrowed books. You can borrow … Continue reading Libraries Rock!
Research and Eagerness
I got some new books recently. I always try not to buy books because at the end of the semester my luggage is always crazy heavy, but it's counter-intuitive for a writer. Books are a necessity and there's just something about owning one and not just having a library copy that makes things better. The … Continue reading Research and Eagerness
Writing for Fun
This morning I got an email saying my last two assignments from last semester were ready to be picked up. I got a little excited and went straight to collect them even though I was late for a meeting. It would have been embarrassing if my marks had been bad. Thankfully they were not. In … Continue reading Writing for Fun
