The first Self-Love Sunday of 2021

Dear Readers, As you can tell from the date, I am squeaking this January Self-love Sunday note in right at the every end. How is 2021 treating you all? Any different from 2020? I feel like there is a tiny glimmer of hope, but it still feels overshadowed by the current climate around the globe. …

A Blank Page

If you could be a blank page or could start your story afresh, what would you write about yourself? How would you begin? With a: Once Upon a Time... or One dark and stormy night... or perhaps even an In a galaxy far, far away... What would you choose? What would your opening line be? …

To trigger or not to trigger…

** This post discusses difficult subject matter! ** Literary Lovelies, I've been debating whether or not to actually post this. I have gone back and forth between scheduling it and unscheduling it.

Where have I gone?

An excellent question Dear Readers, One I am asking on your behalf (haha) in the wake of not having posted in quite some time. Let's catch up on what we have and have not been doing as of late. I have not been writing... anything. (Not even a couple of sentences in a writing prompt!) …

November ends…

... and December begins! Hello Dear Readers, I slightly regret the exclamation mark which I placed just two lines above. I will not take it away though, even if I am not sure it belongs there. December might definitely be a month which delivers on the exclamation mark, due to the holiday-inspired nature of the …

When things go according to plan…

... and yet don't somehow at the same time. It has been a while since I have posted dear readers and I apologize for that. I have found myself in a limbo of sorts the last couple of weeks and I am not sure what I am actually up to. The last time I updated …
