• Writing Exercise- Lost

    *Exercise from The 4 A.M. Breakthrough. #188 Lost*                 “What are we doing here?” Jenna asked her great grandfather.                 Elijah put a gnarled hand on her head and smiled down at her. “This is my old home.”                 “You lived here?” Jenna’s eyes widened as she looked down on the city again.                 It…

  • Baby is Two Months Old!

                    My little man is now two months old! I can’t believe it. It still feels like yesterday I brought him home. And he’s getting so big! The day we came home, I could hold his whole body with just one hand. Now, he’s so long I need two hands when I feed him. He’s…

  • June Reads

                    Came in just under the wire for my four books of June. Finished the last book late last night when little baby man didn’t let me sleep, haha. Probably not the best idea, because now I’m incredibly tired, but I couldn’t put the book down. Aside from reaching my monthly goal, I was also…

  • Experiment TCA-276 (pt 7)

                    Morgan allowed herself to cry over Rita for only a minute. She had to get to work if she didn’t want to end up just like her.                 First, she dug around the room for anything that could be a weapon. She didn’t find much. Only a steak knife and a set of crutches.…

  • Mid-year Progress Report

                    Wow, is it just me or has this year been flying by? We’re already at the halfway point! Now is always a good time to step back and reflect on progress. Am I getting to where I want to be? Am I getting closer to my goals I set at the beginning of the…

  • First month with the Baby!

    First month with the Baby!

                    Baby Luke is one month old! I still can’t get enough of him. And he can’t seem to get enough of me or I’d be getting more sleep hahahahaha. No, but really. A newborn’s first month is no joke. Some nights I get pretty much zero sleep. When he’s cluster feeding, there’s maybe an…

  • May’s Reads

                    The month of May has been super crazy. I had my baby! So, understandably, I haven’t done as much reading as I would normally have done. I did manage to read four books overall, but It took me nearly three weeks to read the last one. I just happened to read two and a…

  • Experiment TCA-276 (pt 6)

                    “What’s that noise?” Rita asked as Morgan re-entered the office.                 “They’re, uh, they’re cutting at the loading dock door. Sounds like a power saw.”                 “They’re going to get in?” Rita tried to move but then clutched at her leg again.                 “Probably, yes. But I called for help.”                 “The police? But…

  • Baby Luke’s Arrival!

    On May 10th at 8:01 AM my little man was born! 6 lbs 2 oz and 18 inches long. My perfect tiny human.                 I’m obsessed with staring at him and holding him and all the cuddles.                 I’m really at a loss for words. I’m sure any first-time mom can relate. I’ve barely been…

  • DIY MFA prompt: A Book that Changed My Life

                    I need to go to the bookstore! I’m out of informational books to read. So, when I am stuck in a place like this, I turn to the DIY MFA website to read articles to learn me some knowledge (and possibly find suggestions on more books to buy!).                 As I perused through several…
