Tales and thoughts from a quiet soul and seeker of simple
Bonjour mes amis! Just a quick post to say that I have FINALLY claimed my blog on bloglovin. I know, I know, it's about time! If you are unfamiliar with the Bloglovin site, from what I understand (I'm still what you could call a "newb" at it), it is a website to help you follow…
Have you ever read a story and felt like you knew an intimate part of the author? In sharing their ideas and characters with us, authors build a bond of unspoken friendship. Just think about it, an author can spend years to a lifetime creating a character(s) whom readers will come to know more deeply…
Why, hellooooo there. I don't think I have ever gone on this long of a hiatus since I started my blog. I've been battling my perfectionism demons and my online summer classes ( seriously online and summer should never be in a sentence together, talk about horror!). Tomorrow I end my battle with these classes…
About a month ago I challenged myself to start trying new things- at least one thing once a week. I said I would post every week to keep everyone updated on all the new adventures I partook in. Well, I wouldn't say I have failed my challenge- but I have learned that even for someone…

I found this lovely cartoon called "Literary Life" by Posy Simmonds on Kate Morton's blog (who just so happens to be one of my favorite contemporary authors-My Kate Morton Post). I thought it was too funny and wanted to share. I also found out that there is a documentary called "The Pixar Story" that came…
From the very little experience I have with writing, I do know one thing. It is possible to get stuck for what seems like FOREVER. Then I start to lose confidence and just want to trash everything I have ever written. I can have as many friends or family tell me It's great and I…
My book list is constantly growing. In fact, it is ridiculous. I am constantly scribbling down books professors suggest or ramble off during class, as well as things I come across in my reading for my english classes, blog book reviews, and my own avid curiosity to find good reads. But then I read something today…
; Sometimes I think I over-complicate everything. But something that really hit me over the head today (which I had heard on numerous occasions before, but it obviously never hit me hard enough) is that in all things, you just have to do it. In my fiction writing class there is this theme that is…
