Day 2’s activity of the Blogging101 course is creating a title and tagline. Since I have had my blog for a couple months now, I just wanted to talk about why I chose my title and tagline and where it comes from. First, I will not give myself much credit, as the title and tagline…

Day One: Introduce Yourself to the World
Well, Hello World! Even though my blog is about 3 months old, I feel the need to reintroduce myself. I am, what I like to call a pretty average girl. I am a wife of 3 years and a mother to a beautiful 1 year old baby girl (check previous posts for cute pics!). I…
Empty
Another night, lying in bed, searching the ceiling for an answer it didn’t have. Another night of talking to herself, asking questions with no answer. Another night of empty and idle thoughts. She wondered how perfection felt; wondered what joy was and if happiness ever existed. She looked over her bed and found him lying there, sleep taking…
#WhitWritesHerNovel: Hiatus and the Thought of a Writing Group
I am kind of upset that I haven’t been able to give my novel the attention it deserves in the last 2 months or so. It has been a pretty busy couple of months, from working, to being out of town or doing something since the end of April. Needless to say, the writing has taken a…
#WhitWritesHerNovel: Writing Spaces
What is your favorite place to get lost in your words? Oftentimes, the right writing space usually helps me get into the flow of things. Some people can write in their favorite café, while others prefer a quiet place like their home, library or a park. My dream place would be creating my own writing…
#WhitWritesHerNovel

#WhitWritesHerNovel: Taking the Time to FOCUS.
I have so many high expectations for this novel, even though it is my first one. I want so much to come out of this experience, that if I only sell one copy (possibly to my mother, lol) I will be happy. Hell, if I only print one copy and put it on my bookshelf…
Words Never Spoken
Everyday I have the same routine. I wake up and make tea and sit near my kitchen window at precisely 6am. Why? Because I know that at approximately 6:05am, u will be walking by my window as you do every morning. We exchange glances, bashful stares and petite smiles. Time stops as our paths cross for…
#WhitWritesHerNovel: Scene Charting, Why Didn’t I Think of This Before?!
If I was going about this the right way, I would have charted my scenes in the beginning, instead of right smack in the middle of me doing my first rewrite. Either way, I am now charting my scenes to help with the overall flow and organization of my novel. So far, I am enjoying…
