Starting Again
Hello, fellow Dreamers! As you may have noticed, my brilliant plan to get this blog up and running again over the last year died a rather quick but painful death. Between graduating from college with my associate's, getting married, and, of course, getting through the Covid-19 pandemic, writing and this blog was honestly the last … Continue reading Starting Again
Shot in the Dark
This is a poem I wrote about a year and a half ago, in August of 2018. I had stayed up late to finish reading Through the Pages, the debut novel of my friend Annie Twitchell, of which you can find a review here. I was devastated and thrilled and absolutely blown away by the book, … Continue reading Shot in the Dark

Porch Swing Girl Book Review
I don't typically read contemporary fiction, and it's not something I write, either. I like it well enough, but the pull of fantasy is stronger on me and usually wins out. I'm so glad I made an exception. Porch Swing Girl by Taylor Bennett is one of the best books I've read in the last several months, … Continue reading Porch Swing Girl Book Review
A Conspiracy of Stars Book Review
I recently had the immense pleasure of reading A Conspiracy of Stars by Olivia Cole, the first book in the Faloiv series. I can't remember the last time I read a book for the first time and loved it so much. This book almost made me cry (not quite), and that's something that most books do … Continue reading A Conspiracy of Stars Book Review
4 Simple Ways to be Encouraging
Over the last couple of years, as I've started working and taking college classes, I see a lot more of people than I used to.

Homeschooling: An Inside Look
You guys may or may not know by now that I am homeschooled and have been all my life. College classes were the first ones I took in a physical school other than my home.
