Hello friends, happy Thursday. I have returned with yet another (and final) retrospective post about last year. At the beginning of 2021 I created a list of writing-themed goals to pursue. No surprise here: I did not accomplish them all (even though most of them were purposefully vague haha), but I am still rather glad… Continue reading in which I revisit my writing goals from 2021 and write new ones
Someday you will be driving down the street and see me on the sidewalk holding a battered poster board with crayon scrawl: will write stories for boba tea & sushi - i have 23 plants to support. I'll live in a small apartment above an antique shop with a partially stained glass window and a… Continue reading poor artist muses about Hawaii
There is always a running list of arts and sciences I wish I had talent for, but there have recently been a few that have really stood out as things I want to learn eventually. I think that the different facets of art are so neat, especially when it brings art into everyday things, which… Continue reading Five things I wish I could make

And then there was the one about "mock trial." I know this… Continue reading 17 Things I've Learned and Earned from Competing in Mock Trial

Which are both great excuses to be bookish. And talk about books. What's not to like? #1. What books… Continue reading A Rather Lengthy Bookish Post | feat. two tags
I think I've gone crazy with my new phone/new camera. I've always thought that the camera is one of the best aspects of a phone, but with getting a new phone and then autumn coming around, and everything so gloriously autumn, I've taken too many pictures to count. I hope you enjoy looking at some… Continue reading Autumn Pictures
Lately I have been finding and stumbling across some very neat artists with very neat things they do and I've been sharing them with friends and realized I could make a list and share them here as a sort of collage of beautiful things. David Braud's family portraits have marvelous Norman Rockwell flavor which I… Continue reading Some very neat artists and pieces of art I find interesting
