This blog post "Trust Yourself" is about trusting your gut to make the right decision, even if others disagree. It's about finding that power from believing in YOURSELF.

Trust Yourself

November 29, 2018November 29, 2018 Georgia

During a job interview earlier this year, I told the interviewer my favorite part about the writing process is revision. I told her that I liked it because it’s during this stage that the story comes alive. This is when … Continue reading Trust Yourself

Say It Out Loud

November 26, 2018November 26, 2018 Georgia

Robinne Lee (actress, producer, author of The Idea of You) asked me at a book signing last summer if I’m a writer, and I answered without hesitation, “No not really.” She was surprised by my answer because I briefly told … Continue reading Say It Out Loud

In “Take a Break: It’s a Holiday,” I share my fave Thanksgiving memory and the importance of making many more. A post on being present and enjoying the moment. 🙏

Take a Break: It’s a Holiday!

November 22, 2018November 22, 2018 Georgia

Because we’re Greek, I often get asked about our Thanksgiving traditions and what kind of foods we eat. But honestly, we don’t do anything out of the ordinary. We always have turkey and dressing, cranberry sauce, mac and cheese – … Continue reading Take a Break: It’s a Holiday!

We Have Time

November 20, 2018November 20, 2018 Georgia

When I wrote my novel for my thesis, I couldn’t wait to publish it. I thought it was quirky, sexy, and unique with a few romance tropes to boot – I thought it had it all. So I revised and … Continue reading We Have Time

Being Open to Criticism

November 12, 2018November 12, 2018 Georgia

Choosing the Right Path

November 8, 2018November 8, 2018 Georgia

Recently, I was explaining all the different publishing options to my husband’s cousin, and I was close to a panic attack. Started sweating and panting mid-conversation even though I was just sitting in a chair. But the vast number of … Continue reading Choosing the Right Path

Stay Restless

November 5, 2018November 6, 2018 Georgia

I want to finish my manuscript sooner rather than later, so I work on it every morning. I spend an hour a day writing and revising it before I put my eight hours in at the office. I didn’t always have … Continue reading Stay Restless

Why I Don’t Plot

November 1, 2018November 1, 2018 Georgia

So far, I don’t like to plot or outline. Instead, I like to dive head first into cold water with Megaladon swimming nearby. I know it’s a bad idea, but the call of the sea is too strong. But in … Continue reading Why I Don’t Plot

Welcome!

Hi, I’m Georgia! Welcome to my blog, The Restless Writer. I have a Master’s in Professional Writing and read and write in all genres, but romance is my absolute go-to. Like a comfy sweater and jeans outfit – you can’t go wrong with romance! Follow me on social media for book recs, cute dog pics, and your daily dose of happily ever after.
