Hoping for a Better Year

January 20, 2026 / Heather / 3 Comments

2025 was a not so fun year. I tried to stay on top of writing, reading, and blogging. I think my last post was in June. August was my birthday and then life got a little difficult. The day after my birthday my mom had an aneurysm rupture on her brain. She spent September and … Continue reading Hoping for a Better Year

Half way there

June 3, 2025 / Heather / Leave a comment

Happy June! It is kind of amazing to think we are at the half way mark of 2025. It blows my mind how quickly time can go and I swear most of my time is worrying about how to pay my bills. I always have these plans at the beginning of the year to keep … Continue reading Half way there

Creative Minds and Depression Or is it A Transition?

April 24, 2025 / Heather / 1 Comment

I started this year with big dreams of blogging all the time. I was going to write book reviews and read more indie authors. I was going to write all the stories and I was going to publish a book of poems. Then depression grabbed me by metaphorical balls and wouldn't let go. I am … Continue reading Creative Minds and Depression Or is it A Transition?

Reconnecting with Reality

April 20, 2025 / Heather / Leave a comment

Daily writing promptHow do you use social media?View all responses I sometimes forget I have social media. I scroll through Facebook to keep up with family and friends and to see random memes that make me laugh. I use TikTok like it is my lifeline, but I don't post anything on it anymore. I used … Continue reading Reconnecting with Reality

There is No Balance…

April 11, 2025 / Heather / 3 Comments

Life has been so weird lately. I have all these things I had planned on doing and I had planned so much that I planned myself into a slump. The year started out great. Then it was too much. I shut down and ended up doing the bare minimum. The worst part about it, is … Continue reading There is No Balance…

March Prompt Challenge

March 4, 2025March 4, 2025 / Heather / Leave a comment

I'm not sure where the time went. I forgot that February was a short month and I only managed to write two short stories for last months prompt. So...it will stay at two stories. I will do better. I am getting better at managing my time... That's a lie. I suck at managing my time. … Continue reading March Prompt Challenge

The Fragility of Digital Ownership in Reading

February 18, 2025 / Heather / Leave a comment

I have a very extensive library of digital books. Most of them were either free or 99 cents. If I can get a hard copy of the book cheaper than the digital book, I will get the hard copy because it doesn't make sense to pay more for a digital copy. I also frequent second … Continue reading The Fragility of Digital Ownership in Reading

The Art of Spontaneous Storytelling

February 17, 2025 / Heather / 8 Comments

How do you write? A question for anyone writing a story. How do you write? Do you plan everything out and then write the story, or do you sit down and let your fingers lead the way? I have always been the type to have a story idea and just start writing. I hate planning … Continue reading The Art of Spontaneous Storytelling
