As you may (or may not know) I love setting 90-day goals – I started this in the fall of last year and it really did help me be more productive…until I wasn’t. That’s when I realized that I like having my goals mapped out for the quarter but only the first 3-4 tasks written…
It’s been a while since I’ve written, I know. This is for a few reasons — 1) I thought I might have overloaded you guys when I was re-launching The Art of Lying and 2) I needed a little break from writing myself. But…I’ve taken a little break, watched Gilmore Girls again on Netflix…
I had the immense pleasure of being interviewed yesterday by my friend, Brenda Vander Zaden, for her Postpartum Body Series project. I had the best time talking about how much stronger I feel within my body after giving birth to my son – you can watch the Facebook Live HERE if you’d like! The other…
Have you found your life’s purpose yet? Do you cringe when someone asks you this question? I still hate this question and I feel like I’m way closer to finding the answer than I was even 2-3 years ago…but who knows?

My debut novel isn’t 100% ready to be published yet, but I have already started working on my 2nd novel. Right now I’m still in the very beginning – or outline mode – but before I blink, I will quickly be descending into research, drafting, and revision modes so I already started a Pinterest board…
Did you read that title and go, what is she talking about…writer’s don’t have toolboxes. Okay, true – I don’t have a giant red Craftsman toolbox where I keep my writerly things, but I do use tools to write and that’s what I want to talk about today. First, my laptop – I use a…
