It's taken me a while to really come to terms with the fact that writing is messy and that this is OK. Many writers and people who I've gotten advice from have talked about how writing is messy. Whether it is for a blog, for a school assignment, or for your novel, first drafts are totally crazy and are just a mish mash of ideas thrown onto a page in no particular order...

Wednesdays Wondrous Writings: “Bread”
The past few weeks my family has been trying out a new bakery that we've really been loving because it has the most delicious bread!! Bread is, in my opinion, one of the greatest foods to ever exist. Better than pizza! Better than cake! So here's my American Cinquain poem dedicated to bread...
Books Not To Read Late At Night (Unless You Like Feeling Scared)
I had the idea for this post a while ago and although it is a bit like another book list, I thought it might be a fun one to make!

Wednesday’s Wondrous Writings: “Community”
I was thinking about what to write about for this weeks poem and felt myself feeling like I'd had such an unaventful week.

Some of you may already be familiar with these terms (some are more obvious than others), but some may not be. Also, there is a high likelyhood that...
Wednesday’s Wondrous Writings: “New”
This WWW will be my second attempt at the poetry form called American Cinquain (with the syllable pattern 2-4-6-8-2). Because this week I am going back to school and new beginnings seem to be in the air, I thought that this poem would be quite fitting...
Bookstagram Vs. Blogging: My Plans for the New Year
I have been wanting to write this post for the past few weeks, but I had to really let things settle in my mind before I could put my thoughts down on paper (er... down on the web?). I also didn't want to put off writing it though, which is why I announced it would be posted soon on my Instagram last week. This won't be a super long post, but it'll just be making some things clear, sharing where I am at with my...
