2018 November Poetry Challenge: Week 4
Well, everyone, I'm happy to say that I've made it to the end of November's Poem-a-Day challenge! It's definitely been difficult, but I managed to write thirty new poems over the course of a month. I'll probably share another post later with all the things I've learned over the last thirty days, but for now… Continue reading 2018 November Poetry Challenge: Week 4
Advent 2018
I can hardly believe that it is time for another Advent reading list, but here we are! Over the years I've had the privilege of reading several wonderful Advent devotional books, so I thought I'd take a moment to share what I'm planning on reading this year, as well as some other titles I've mentioned here before that you might enjoy.
2018 November Poetry Challenge: Week 3
Happy Thanksgiving weekend, everybody! I'm here with seven more rough drafts of poems written off of prompts from the Writer's Digest poem-a-day challenge. This week's were difficult, and I think some of them are my least favorite of the month so far. That being said, I have beaten my record from last year, when I only… Continue reading 2018 November Poetry Challenge: Week 3

12 Months of Books: September Suggestions
September means school, football, and the promise of cooler temperatures. And even though here in Georgia we've been back in school for almost a month, in many places the school year is just beginning. That's why the September theme for our reading challenge this year is "Back to School." In honor of the kids everywhere… Continue reading 12 Months of Books: September Suggestions
12 Months of Books: August Suggestions
This month's theme for our 12-month reading challenge is "Lazy Days," but for me the month of August is anything but lazy! I picked this theme to focus in on one of my new favorite ways of discovering great stories: audiobooks. With school starting back, there's no way I'll be able to read as many… Continue reading 12 Months of Books: August Suggestions
