So after 2017's whirlwind of wedding planning and settling into our new home, the new year brought the huge & terrifying decision: going full-time freelance.  With my husband's support & an enthusiastic bark from our dachshund, I am my own business now!  Omg, guys.  

The past few days have been the first time I have ever solely worked from home after years & years of commuting to the city (or further!).  Let me tell you that this has been exhilarating, terrifying, exciting...but mainly I have already learned that self-discipline is key.  My goal from 8am - Noon is to absolutely not be lazy.  I figure if I can at least get something done with my first cup of coffee for the day, I'm on the right track. So far this plan has been working.  

​I want to be upfront and honest with you, dear reader: I have become a Grammarly affiliate. This is only because I am 100% completely sold on this service that will absolutely benefit ANY writer immensely. I want to share my experience using this service with you...

​Creativity, Inc.: Overcoming the Unseen Forces That Stand in the Way of True Inspiration is a wonderful book about the Pixar company’s history and philosophy, which created the most innovative and inspiring company since the Disney corporation itself.   I truly believe that anyone from business executive to freelance writer should read this inspiring book.
