I’ve been working on a story called forgetting charlie for a while. it (and other things) have been taking up my time, which is why I haven’t written on the blog in a while. But I’ve sort of hit one of those lackluster moments in my writing process and I haven’t written a single word of that story for weeks now. So, in an attempt to get some sort of…
So, today I complained to my mother about how I’m bored and need a new hobby. I like hobbies. They are little things that I can do every-so-often that are creatively stimulating or challenging in some way as to keep my brain occupied for a bit. Like art journaling or photography or that one time I taught myself how to crochet. I like discovering new things that I end up…
Hi. I have updated as usual because honestly, I haven’t been doing much. I was sick for about a week and of course that sucks the life out of you. The most I did that was somewhat creatively productive was add items to my shop and work on a story I’ve been writing for the last two months called forgetting charlie. But I have been reading my daily dose of…
So, I came across this DIY Doily Dreamcatcher on Pinterest awhile ago and saved it in the event that one day I would actually get around to making it. This past weekend, I went to Michaels to get some supplies, because I actually set my mind on making one! Good thing about Michaels is that they usually have everything I need to make whatever it is that I want to…
I finally got my book in the mail, so naturally I’ve started catching up on all the wonderful art journaling prompts for my Summer of Love class. One of Day 3’s prompts was to journal your summer playlist, so of course this gave me the opportunity to create a brand new playlist just for my art journaling! I have a ton of songs I’ve been listening to lately, my phone…
Hi! You’re all probably at the beach or a barbecue or getting ready to watch the firework display. I spent my day reading and taking photos for my Summer of Love class. It’s the first day in about a week where it isn’t raining! It’s just been really hot and humid, which I suppose is okay since it’s not hot, humid AND wet. Apparently we’ll be getting a heat wave in the…
So, because of Hannah Clare of Monster Serenade posting about her love of summer, I not only have some really cool tunes to listen to, but I’m also taking this art journaling/photography class, “Summer of Love” run by Kara Haupt of I Just Might Explode. For the art journaling part, we’ll be creating an art journal from an old vintage hardcover book. Living in NYC, looking for a vintage book…
Empire Records has to be one of my favorite movies ever. I could literally rewatch this movie a million times and not get bored with it in the least. It’s your typical early-90’s teen movie, the feel of it borderlining between your classic, The Breakfast Club and your cult favorite, Dazed & Confused. I have an affinity with both of those movies (not to mention I’m a huge John Hughes fan, as…
Hey. So, I’ve been a bit uninspired lately. I have a small notebook with blog post ideas written in it, but as I look back at them now, they don’t seem too inspired. I think the whole direction of how I want my blog to go is just not the direction my blog is following. I think the root of it is the seemingly lack of original content. Granted, all…
Hi. If you’ve noticed, I changed the layout of my site again. Why? I don’t know. I never know. Most of the time, I just feel like changing it. Do I ever need a reason for doing anything? This brings up the funny subject of making decisions. I’m horrible at making up my mind, especially for certain things over others. Like, I never know what I want to eat and…
I feel like I fell off the face of the planet for a bit and went to book nerd heaven. Seriously, I feel kind of jet-lagged. For this past three days, I’ve been getting up hella early to go down to the Jacob Javits Center, as I signed up to volunteer for BookExpo America. (Think Comic-Con but for writers and books.) I was signed up for all three days of the…
“You’ll get over it…” It’s the clichés that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life forever. You don’t get over it because “it” is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never closes. How could it? The particularness of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not made anodyne by death. This hole in my heart…
