The Springtime in Surrey Tag! (a bookish challenge 🌸)

I saw this tag when I stumbled across Katja H. Labonté's main author blog, Little Blossoms for Jesus, and realized I'd only been subscribed to her book reviews blog. I most enthusiastically subbed to her author blog...then spent way too long binge-reading the reviews of vintage films on her movie review blog. Katja's epic, guys.… Continue reading The Springtime in Surrey Tag! (a bookish challenge 🌸)

Once upon a time, the lovely Lillian Keith (at the Introspective Introvert) started a fun new writer's tag called the Fifty Word Story Challenge, which is exactly what it sounds like! (*coughs* Meaning you have to write an entire story in just 50 words. That's literally, like, a single paragraph.) Lillian literally started this tag… Continue reading What Lies Beneath – a flash fiction (the Fifty Word Story Challenge!)

Know The Novel – Part Three: WORDS WRITTEN (2022 edition…but late)!

Once upon a November, an unsuspecting girl posted Part 2 of a writer's linkup.

The aesthetic of my WIPs are part of what makes writing so delightful, so when I saw Allyson Jamison had started this new blog tag, I was THRILLED. This tag is a good excuse to talk about my current work-in-progress Gillory once again...it's been too long, hasn't it? Actually, it's been too long since I've… Continue reading Gillory Edition – Book Aesthetic Blog Tag!

Introducing…the Write Your Worst Challenge!

While making rice for dinner last night, I got a brilliant idea. What if I created a tag for writers to intentionally write the cheesiest, most cringe-worthy story they could manage? How would our ideas of 'worst' vary from person to person? What if the challenge could help conquer perfectionism and give everyone a few… Continue reading Introducing…the Write Your Worst Challenge!

“A CHEAP PROMISE” – a To Be Loved prequel (ABC tag)

A Cheap Promise A To Be Loved Prequel A cold chill iced my skin, colder than the breakfast fruit sherbet my maid had torn me away from, already souring in my stomach. Breathing a forgotten luxury, I stared at the royal messenger standing stiff in our doorway, his crisp uniform bearing our kingdom’s stars-and-swords emblem.… Continue reading “A CHEAP PROMISE” – a To Be Loved prequel (ABC tag)
