Celebrating the release of No, I Don’t Have To

Book Lovers, Empowerment, Inspiration, Writing Tips & Info

The past few days have been filled with such a mixed bag of emotions. I've wanted to be a published author since at least eight years old. And over the years I've written so many pieces that the world hasn't seen (YET.) A few years ago, I published my first blog, and from there started sharing bits and pieces here and there. The people that did read what I posted, sporadically, loved my writing! I was happy and shocked. I mean, I love writing, but it's so personal to me. Whether I'm writing about my life, giving advice, or creating stories like the ones in No, I Don't Have To-my writing exposes me in ways I wasn't entirely secure in sharing-until now. Even now, I don't feel ready, but really…

My Writing Space

Blogmas, Writing Tips & Info

Hey! It’s day 3 of Blogmas. Today I’m going to share a little about my writing space. Disclaimer: Any space is technically my writing space. Give me something to write or type on and somewhere to sit, and bam-I’m writing. The space I’m describing today sets the mood for a more intentional and purposeful writing session for me. I call this my mobile office. I’ll have a mobile office until I convert my once hair and nail room. Don’t ask me when that will be, one day, though. I don’t plan to go back to doing hair and nails, but I’m also not ready to get rid of my supplies and equipment. Anyway… For now, I work with my mobile material, and it’s working just fine for me. My mobile…

Blogmas

Blogmas, Writing Tips & Info

Happy December! Welcome to day 1 of Blogmas! First, I can't believe I agreed to participate in Blogmas this year, especially with everything I have going on this month. But somehow, my fellow sister in writing heyy_friend_ on Instagram convinced me. So, here I am. What is Blogmas?Blogmas is like a calendar countdown for bloggers. From the first of December until Christmas Day, bloggers and vloggers alike, create a post a day. Some focus strictly on Christmas, but there is no strict rule that says you have to concentrate on winter holidays. My Blogmas post will be a mixture of Christmas favorites, my new ebook- No, I Don't Have To, and because it's the end of the decade, a few of my favorite things and memories from 2010-2019. I hope…

The Hardest Thing About Being A Writer

Writing Tips & Info

Welcome to day 16 of Blogtober.I want to let you in a little more and talk about my writing style and process a little bit. We will get to that. I've shared in past blogs why I write and my inspiration for writing. Let me tell you the hardest thing about writing for me. It's not generating ideas-I literally brainstorm and write or type out every single thing on my mind. I don't worry about spelling, punctuation, or any type of grammar or conventions. I get all of my ideas and thoughts out. I then go back to everything that I have poured out and organize it for all of the above, clarity, consistency-that sort of thing. If I do run into a case of writer's block, I am a…

My Inspiration For Writing

Writing Tips & Info

I've considered myself a writer for at least twenty-eight years now. I've always enjoyed the idea of writing (by hand or typing, either will do just fine.) The inspiration began in school and through my love of reading- read all about it here. Writing comes naturally to me, but often at the most inopportune times. I started out being inspired by the type of books and television shows I enjoyed watching- mystery. As a little girl, I thought I would be the woman version of James Patterson (before I knew who James Patterson was.) As I got older, my style of writing changed. I began to find inspiration in what was going on in more places. I'm inspired by my life, the lives of friends and family, my favorite television…

Oh How I Love To-Do List

Writing Tips & Info

To-do list; one of my favorite things to write. So by now you know I’m a writer. I love to write. Everything from novels, short stories, poems, and to-do list. The highest form of and most writing I complete being a to-do list. It is just something about writing something out either in my own handwriting or typed up in a pretty format. If I can write it up, take action, and scratch it off, it’s a high like no other-for-me at least. Especially because in the not so distant past, I was best friends and tied entirely down with the evil known as procrastination. Creating to-do list not only feed my love to write but it “speaks” into existence the things I want to do whether it’s a goal…

Why I Write

Writing Tips & Info

As I grow as a woman, as a person, I am always reflecting on how to understand and walk in my purpose. Reflecting is how this website; how my blog came to be. Through my constant reflection on what I want to do with my life and what feels right, I am led continuously back to writing. Writing has been a part of me since I could remember. From sitting on Hilton Street learning to write my name, and what seemed like, hundreds of creative writing stories in Ms. Gilmore’s class at Mary E. Rodman Elementary School. My true love for writing developed from my love of reading. Growing up I was a natural scholar and reader. But for the first part of my elementary school career, I didn’t enjoy…
