I am a writer. I love to write.

Breaking 3 Writing ‘Rules’:

If you have ADHD or ASC or are some other flavor of neurodivergent, the ‘rules’ many big name authors post about how they’ve reached success can actually make you feel REALLY BAD because you can’t always do the same thing.

Building a positive relationship with writing can make all the difference in getting you writing more.

‘Write every day.’ - Don’t write every day, write when the mood strikes. But you can trick your brain into work mode by trying different things. Put on your shoes when it’s time to write. Light a candle. Put on the same playlist every time. After a while, it’ll be like a light-switch. When you light the candle, your brain will find writing easier. Just don’t force it. When you try to force writing, you build up frustration and resentment if you don’t get anything out. Some days just won’t be writing days. That’s FINE, lots of authors don’t write every day (even if they say they do).

'I write 1000 words every day!’ - Well, if you WANT to write and are struggling, a goal of 1000 words seems really far away. So do incremental goals. One sentence. One paragraph. 100 words. Usually by then you’re in the flow of things and you can write 1000 words pretty easy. And again, celebrate every single one of those goals so you want to keep doing it. One sentence, walk away, come back later, add another, GOOD JOB, two whole sentences!

'Sit down and block out x hours every day just for writing.’ - Actually, the best way I’ve found to write is to tell my brain the deadline or end time is really, really soon - so I write in 20-30 minute chunks, and then walk away or take breaks and come back if I want to later. By setting that arbitrary shorter deadline, my brain can see an end and will work harder and focus more because it knows it’s just for a little bit. If 20-30 minutes is too long, start with 15 minute chunks.

I took these photos back in July. My dad and I were at the Bellagio and the exhibit there was sooo cool!

Currently, I'm in a French 1 class, but I plan on skipping a level and moving straight to French 3 next school year. I'm going to become fluent in French as fast as I can. One day, I'll be able to read french literature in it's original language, and better appreciate french history and culture! It's going to be a long journey, but even on days when I'm not motivated, I'll keep pushing on.

Long before internet memes, there was Morris the Cat, the advertising mascot for 9Lives brand cat food, appearing on its packaging and in many of its television commercials since the 1970s. This particular appearance was on a 1986 calendar titled “Morris, A Cat For Our Times” that featured several pieces of technology. Find out more here…

my favourite Bernini statue isn’t a real statue, but the damaged clay and straw angel that was the model for the bronze statue.
