two years and four drafts later
Friday night, I finished the fourth draft of HotP (still a working title, but in my brain this is what it will always be called). Including editing passes, there now exists six different versions of this novel.
Each one I love a little more than the last.
Two years ago, in January of 2021, coming up on the first anniversary of the pandemic in the United States, I sat down and said to myself…

creative mode
It is just about two weeks into National Novel Writing Month and that means I have fallen behind on all my shows and not picked up a book since Halloween.
Oof. As someone who regularly reads multiple books in a week in addition to listening/watching 4- to 5-hour-long episodes of Critical Role at least once a week… my consumption of media has dropped significantly.
Looking back to last year (to…

I guess I’m actually a runner now
I guess I’m actually a runner now
One of my goals for this year was to get into some running races at some point as I’ve really gotten into running the past couple years, with an emphasis on it over the last 6 months or so where I’ve been doing it pretty consistently and more than just a couple miles at a time.
I ran my first race on August 6th. It was a 10k and my best friend who is largely responsible for getting me into…

one word at a time
February was going to be my editing month for Ilyum I.
It was. I did a really good job for the first two or three weeks. And then some stuff came up (the big thing being that we were in the process of buying a house, something I may talk about another time). I decided okay, I can extend editing into March. Have it done by April and switch gears to writing again before revising.
It’s April. I’m…

five years and a ring later
Five years ago, Ethan held my hand for the first time.
It was on what we came to consider one of our first dates, dubbed the Pineapple Adventure. He met me on the steps of IM West at Michigan State when I got out of practice – we’d planned to meet up before hand and I was so excited and texted him as soon as I was out of the pool before rushing to get changed to meet him. We spent the next two…

2022
Like last year, I’m approaching this year with a set of (loose) goals that I’d like to accomplish, but if I’m not able to then I’m not going to beat myself up about it. We’ve been in a pandemic for well over two years, the least we deserve is to be gentle with ourselves when we need it.
Let’s get right into this.
~ First and foremost, like last year, I want to get back into a habit of posting…

another year over
Long time no update!
Back in October, I was intending to do a short post about this year’s NaNo, but plotting and prep got the best of me and I got a little caught up in my own world sooner than expected. November, of course, was filled with Thanksgiving travels and NaNo, the latter of which I have now participated in 8 times. I can happily say I “won” again this year, hitting the 50k word goal…

At what point does one call oneself a runner?
Here’s a thing I never thought I’d say: I really enjoy running.
One of my goals for this year was working out regularly and having a somewhat set schedule of exercise for each week. Since June, I’ve been back in the pool twice a week (except when travel has reduced that to a single day a week on a few instances). As a supplement of sorts, I went on a run once a week every now and then as an “I…

an adventure to Mammoth Cave
an adventure to Mammoth Cave
Small disclosure to start: this took more time to write out and get posted than I had wanted, but that’s what happens when you go right from a vacation into playing catch up at work immediately the next day after getting home. Our trip took place from July 15-19, so I’m not super far off getting it posted, just later than I had hoped to.
Ethan and I were walking along one of the trails (above…

Learning about my own writing
Learning about my own writing
I’ve been talking a lot about my writing so far this year, which I think is a vast improvement for me personally as I have always been very private about my writing in the past. Not that I’m still not, I keep a lot of details about projects close and quiet, but I’m more open with what I’m doing and the general discussion of it.
I’ve learned quite a bit about my writing and how I write the last…

Reading and writing... and reading and writing some more
Reading and writing… and reading and writing some more
This is mostly going to be about my writing, but I want to briefly touch on my reading so far in 2021. Over the last ~3 months, I have read 15 books, averaging about 500 pages a piece, with several being up in the 700-800+ range. I honestly feel like I’m back in high school or early college for how fast I’ve gone through these books, and how when I finish one it’s only a few days to a week before…

four years later
Four years ago today, on February 18, 2017, I swam my very last race as a collegiate swimmer.
At the time, I was not fully aware it was the last one, as I was still one of the options for the relay later that night until the end of the morning session when the coaches decided who would be on it. G came up to me after I warmed down – one of only a few on the team to actually warm down after their…

Resolution
I had intended to post this last week, but recent national events caused a slight delay. Happy 2021, I guess?
Here’s the thing. I’ve never really been big on resolutions for the New Year in the way that I am big on setting goals. They’re very similar concepts, but as someone who was a competitive swimmer for nearly decades, I tend to prefer the word goal.
Goal feels a little more gentle, as…

spartan pride
home
I was eight years old when I decided I wanted to go to Michigan State.
At eight years old, I’d only been swimming for a few years. I had only been competing in meets for two, maybe three years, and they were usually smaller meets with one or two other teams.
2003 (eight years old) before a mock meet. At this point, I swam for the Traverse City Breakers.
At eight years old, I wanted to swim…

end of the year musings
end of the year musings
It’s been a minute since I’ve done an update because with the wild wild world we live in I just haven’t been able to get myself to do one. That is one of a number of things I am looking to try to change in the next year. Resolutions and all that.
Fun fact, I read seven books between November 27 and December 6. That’s a lot of books, with an average of 300-350 pages each. Like. I have no idea the…

Quarantine - routine
Quarantine – routine
7 am – wake up. Some days it takes ten seconds and some days it takes ten minutes to get out of bed. Get dressed as though going to work. Free Blue. Eat breakfast, brush teeth, brush hair, make the bed. Feed Blue.
7:30 am – clock in. Start going through what projects need to be done by the end of the day. Turn in any major assignments and get through revision assignments.
8 am – Ethan…

a summer of reading
a summer of reading
One of the markers I use for myself to see how I’m doing is reading. If I’m reading, how into it I am, if I keep picking it up and putting it down versus not being able to put it down, etc. As an “adult,” I generally don’t have as much free time or the freedom to stay up all night reading a book as I did on a few occasions throughout high school and into college. That being said, I’ve been doing…
