A Year in Retrospect
My blog has been live for a year as of June 16th. It’s exciting. I reached 45 posts before then, and I have proved to myself that I can do this writing, publishing thing. In the past I have had a hard time keeping up with social media and posting consistently. I’m not sure exactly…

After the Move
We made it to San Francisco! I meant to let you all know 2 weeks ago, but here it is. As of now, we’re all moved in and most of our U-haul load of furniture, clothes, Ultimate Spiderman comics, and 4 dozen pairs of earings have new designated locations. We have yet to get our…

New Year’s Goals
As we finish out the holidays, many people will be making New Year’s resolutions. I love the idea of working toward personal improvement every year, but New Year’s resolutions have never worked well for me.

Winning NaNoWriMo
