  • A New Year, A New Effort.

    A New Year, A New Effort.

    I know, I know. Time is a man-made construct that ultimately doesn’t matter much in the grand scheme of things, but we, as humans, have created methods of breaking down the vastness of reality into little chunks that make it far more manageable and comprehensible. There’s always a part of me that wonders why it’s…

  • February by the Numbers.

    It’s still hard to believe that it’s already March. This winter in general has been a weird one, as Chicago sits through unseasonably warm temperatures. It’s really nice, I’m not complaining too much, though I do feel like it’s somewhat my fault, because I decided to be an Adult about things and finally put down…

  • January by the Numbers.

    This is the sort of post I don’t imagine many people will find interesting, but I’m a little bit of a numbers nerds and thought that, this year, I’d really like to keep track of a lot of little details and lay them all out at the end of the month to see how I…

  • And Away We Go!

    It’s here, it’s here The new year is finally here! And while I’m not really down with the whole “2016 was so shitty!” thing (certain aspects of it was, of course, but I had a lot of wonderful things happen to me personally in 2016, and, really, as my boyfriend said when I asked him…

  • Ask, and ye shall receive…

    It’s another Monday of another week, a week I’m glad is over because it’s been a strange one. Not bad, which is good, just a little off. This week isn’t much better, but I’ll shoulder through it all the same. The important thing is to just take each day as it comes, with a particular…

  • Monday Morning Reset.

    My favorite day of the week is here! The prospect of new things is always an enticing thing, so I think my latest habit of a “clean slate” on Mondays is really helping to keep me motivated and excited about what I’m working on by introducing new things into the mix and hopefully finishing up…

  • The Monday Morning Reset Button.

    People are creatures of habit, sure, some of us more than others, and, I’ve found, authors even more more so than others. We like things to happen in a certain way; we have specific times for writing, for editing, for whatever else we might do. I, personally, am very big on systems, and in I…

  • Ketchup. [A RoW80 Post].

    And so the ugly side of shift work finally rears its ugly head. A few openings thrown into the mix will throw the whole thing off, and I missed my first RoW80 check-in post. Dun-dun-DUUUUN! Yeah, the whole point of RoW80 is that it’s okay if life sweeps you up for a bit, but it’s…

  • Crossroads [A RoW80 Post].

    I absolutely adore my new apartment; it’s charming as hell, cozy as fuck, and I’m constantly surrounded by books. It’s on the corner of a nice street in a great neighborhood, and I can’t wait for the rows of trees out there to start budding to make the view even better. This last benefit, however,…

  • Of Walks and Words and Worries. [A RoW80 Post]

    Spring has finally decided to stick around Chicagoland lately, which means that I’ve been able to get out and start walking again. Last year, when I started my journey for a healthier me, watching my diet and all this walking helped me lose about thirty pounds. I gained a little bit over the winter, what…
