October 3, 2026 Bedtime Stories

I suspect that this section of the blog is going to be a humbling one. It will be where I share my failures, missteps, and my victories. I never want my children or my audience to feel that this just came to me with out work.

I started today with a sense of dread, bracing myself to continue the monotony of a full time student, mother, wife. Wanting instead to hide from the world. I know there is nowhere to hide from these things. They are apart of me.

Writer’s Positive Quote of the Day # 1:

My days are full before I ever reach the page. I’m a full-time student, a mother, and I also work part time at a nonprofit. Writing doesn’t happen in long, quiet stretches for me. It happens in the margins — between responsibilities, after long days, and in moments I have to protect on purpose.

I always go into the process of submitting my work with a positive attitude.
