May 2020 Wrapup & Summer 2020 Dares

Welcome to June! Can you believe it? I know I’m struggling to comprehend the fact that … IT IS SUMMER 2020! This year is going so fast, and I can’t seem to keep a grasp on it. So, ladies and germs, I have nothing to say that I haven’t said every month (they’re sort of […]

I Have My Mom to Thank for Being a Writer

Today I wanted to write a very brief post (as it is the day before Mother’s Day!) explaining briefly why I have my mom to thank for being a writer. This won’t be a gushy post full of sentiment, as I’m incapable of such a thing, but it definitely includes some logical reasons why I […]

Ivy Introspective Is With the Editor! Now What?

As of this Sunday, Ivy Introspective is now with her editor. It took me waaaay too long to actually finish my own edits, but I’ve finally done it – and it’s out of my hands. Until the beginning of June, I don’t have to think about it. Which begs the question … now what? I […]

My Ever-Changing Camp NaNo Project

Halfway through the month, and I still feel like I’ve done nothing, but that isn’t exactly true. 😉 In reality, I’ve done a lot – it’s just not mostly been on my Camp NaNo project. I’ve been working on Reveries Co. and on my email lists and on various projects of that sort, so my […]

My Key to Recovering from Finishing a Long Project

The War of Ivy Introspective Continues

Writing Ivy Introspective feels like something that will never happen. Which is exactly why I’m going to spend this next week making it happen. You see, writer’s block is a thing — but it’s a thing that we can fight. I might lose a battle or two, but I intend to win the war. 😛 […]

5 Reasons to Follow Tales of the Lonely Sun (Blog Tour + Guest Post)

Today I’m doing a blog tour … only it’s something different. It’s a blog blog tour. (E.g. a blog tour for a blog launch.) And now that I’ve said “blog” waaay too many times … I’ll swap over to talking about the blog itself! Tales of the Lonely Sun is the name of the blog […]

Does Writing Advice Put a Damper on Our Creativity?

Recently, I’ve seen writers talking about how writing advice, story craft, and other tips and tricks for writing a better novel are useless. In their way of seeing it, writing advice tends to lead to formulaic stories, sub-parr novels, and writers not seeking a certain “it” factor. Writers don’t need advice — they need to […]

Lessons Learned from Not Writing

I haven’t not been writing for more than a few days altogether in a long time. I just write like that — in bulk, pushing myself as far as I can go. But now I’m not writing. In fact, I’m not doing a lot of the things I have always been pushing myself to do. […]
