"...at this stage, it's the same with writing. I don't have deadlines or a publisher breathing down my neck. I don't have readers waiting anxiously for my next book. I don't have anyone making me write at all. It's up to me. It's my decision to show up or not. "

How I Learned Self-Discipline

January 24, 2019 Georgia

Sometimes it’s hard for me to balance my interests and hobbies – writing and fitness. They couldn’t be more different from each other. Fitness requires physical movement, whereas writing is literally the opposite as it’s so stationary. But then I … Continue reading How I Learned Self-Discipline

"Live your best life, and all that it entails for you. Mine is exploring and enjoying this new city with my husband but balancing it out with my writing so that I can achieve my publishing goals.

I laid out my process and asked him directly for what I needed: silence. This way, I could make my hour in mornings the most productive it could be." This post talks about asking for boundaries in order to be more productive for yourself. #TheRestlessWriter

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

Finding Our Consistency

October 4, 2018October 4, 2018 Georgia

In pursuit of my author dream I wrote about in my previous post, I get up at 5:30 every morning to write before work. For a year before I started doing this, I worked on the same novel whenever I … Continue reading Finding Our Consistency
