One of my goals for this year was to read more and it’s something I have really stuck to. I’ve gotten through 8 books so far, and while this may not sound like a lot to some people - keep in mind that my aim was to read 10 in 2019 (!!) so considering that … Continue reading 5 tips to fall in love with reading again
How is your summer going so far? Mine started off in a flurry of activity but is slowly calming down, which is nice. We’re at the end of July which means it’s time for another piece of flash fiction. Every month I find an image on Instagram that inspires me and flex my creative writing … Continue reading Monthly mindscape – clean
