Hello, my loves! It's been a while, hasn't it? Over a month, in fact. I've read that in order to be a successful blogger, you should post on a regular basis. Welp. I have broken that rule many times. But the blogging gods are obligated to forgive my absence, because I have some pretty damn … Continue reading a few announcements (and a confession)

ring in the new year
We made it. We actually made it through 2017. I don't need to remind you that 2017 was an exhausting year, right? Even on a personal level, a lot happened--I mean, I got married, which is a pretty big deal. But in the wake of extreme political turmoil and anxiety, the Internet has decided that … Continue reading ring in the new year
Art, Activism, & Apathy
I was once told that I have emotions seeping out of every pore in my body. It doesn't take a plethora of scientific studies to prove that artists are sensitive (though many studies have). At risk of sounding incredibly cliche, I find my own sensitivity to be a blessing and a curse. If you are … Continue reading Art, Activism, & Apathy
A Poem/A Prayer
Due to my overactive imagination, there are some days when I have thousands of ideas for blog entries, article pitches, and stories. In the literary world, this is a blessing--but lately, it doesn't feel that way. Call it procrastination or laziness if you must, but it doesn't change the fact that I often feel frustrated and overwhelmed because I … Continue reading A Poem/A Prayer

Why, hello there! I have returned from my (unintended) hiatus and come back to the blogging world with more cat pictures and Pokémon references that you ever thought were possible. I was shocked to see that it has been almost a month since my last blog post. In my defense, July has been a bit of a whirlwind. … Continue reading a small update
Why I Write
At some point or another, all aspiring writers are told that it's a less than glamorous life, and that we will face countless rejections over the course of their lifetime. We are told it is very difficult to make a living as a writer, and if we do manage to pull it off, there isn't much … Continue reading Why I Write
On Blogging
I have a confession to make: I am not good at finishing things. As a writer, this is kind of a problem. I have countless drafts that have gone unedited and uncompleted, and ideas that have been in my head for years but never put on paper. Blogging is no exception. When I was in high … Continue reading On Blogging
Please Hire Me: English Major Edition
When I was a bright-eyed senior in high school, ready to take on college and still terrified of what I would find there, I knew that I would major in English. Well, why wouldn't I? It had always been my best subject, not to mention the subject I loved the most. My dream was to write … Continue reading Please Hire Me: English Major Edition
georgia life
It's hard to believe that I have been in Georgia for over a week now. To tell you the truth, sometimes I still feel like I am visiting. And then little things remind me that I do, in fact, live here. Like when I ask Drew (my boyfriend) what our address is. Or when I pick up … Continue reading georgia life
