Here comes November

October 29, 2019October 28, 2019 by Beth

I’m not writing today. I finished book 5 of my Snakesblood Saga on Sunday, and this week is all about prep for next month. I haven’t officially participated in NaNoWriMo since I was 16 or so, with a book I’ll someday get around to writing now that I really know… Read the rest...

September 24, 2019September 17, 2019 by Beth

I learned about vision boards earlier this year. I think I’d probably heard of them before that, but never really paid attention. It wasn’t until I had a nice big cork board I wasn’t using for anything that it crossed my mind—and then only because I came across a video… Read the rest...

September 17, 2019September 16, 2019 by Beth

Through the month of August, I shared some photos of my modest dice collection on social media. I never had an opportunity to gather dice like my friends; living where I did, there was absolutely nowhere to get them, and I’m a tactile person, so I like to see and… Read the rest...
