Over the last week, I’ve been far more faithful than I have in awhile to work on my book. As anyone who has been reading this for longer than a few months knows, I’ve been [painfully] trying to edit my sappy romance novel (it’s technically named God’s Masterpiece – but I don’t think I likeContinueContinue reading “Character Issues”

Friends, School, and Writing (of course)
I know it’s been awhile. But a lot has been happening. Allow me to update you (because I know you are all completely fascinated by my life). I got to spend a WHOLE FIVE DAYS with my Gibson Girl friends! We weren’t all always there at the same time, but for the most part weContinueContinue reading “Friends, School, and Writing (of course)”
Redeeming the Time: Conclusion
As already stated, I think the main culprits for lack of time/busyness/overwhelm is mostly phone addiction and trying to live up to certain expectations. So why don’t I just – you know – put my phone down more, and do less stuff? Well, I’m going to go back to something that more than one personContinueContinue reading “Redeeming the Time: Conclusion”
Redeeming the Time Part 5: Phone Addiction
And then there are our phones. Oh, our phones. Those blessed, cursed, brilliant, soul-sucking devices. This little piece of plastic that stays near you at all times is, I feel, really at the bottom of all that I wrote before, and all I continue to write, and all the articles in the world that addressContinueContinue reading “Redeeming the Time Part 5: Phone Addiction”
Redeeming the Time Part 4: Living Up to Expectations
I debated between calling this Social Media Overload or the expectations one. I actually was going to make it two posts, and almost did, but the two are so closely connected, I decided it was too hard to keep them separate. Besides, I’m sure you are hoping I stop rambling at SOME point. We allContinueContinue reading “Redeeming the Time Part 4: Living Up to Expectations”
Redeeming the Time Part 3: Shadow Work
I thought this deserved its own section because it is such a unique concept. One of the other articles I read from the website (yes, you may laugh), The Art of Manliness, discussed the idea of shadow work (Shadow Work and the Rise of Middle-Class Serfdom). Essentially, what they say is that, with the adventContinueContinue reading “Redeeming the Time Part 3: Shadow Work”
Redeeming the Time Part 2: The Ideal Worker
The book I mentioned in my last post, Overwhelmed, had some great points. I skipped a lot of the book because it seemed to overly focus on how stereotypes between men and women placed more pressure on women than men, and I wasn’t looking for an equality speech (can’t we women at some point takeContinueContinue reading “Redeeming the Time Part 2: The Ideal Worker”
Redeeming the Time Part 1: Introduction
I went to a Bible camp when I was . . . mm, probably like 16. It was a week-long of chapels, seminars, prayer time, etc. There is one thing that sticks out in my mind from that time over 15 years ago. It is a seminar called Redeeming the Time. He spoke on howContinueContinue reading “Redeeming the Time Part 1: Introduction”
Texas, Training, and Locks
Last week was spent in recovery mode, mostly. The week before that I was in Texas from Sunday – Sunday, and in 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM training Monday – Saturday. Now, I will be the first to admit that it was FUN training. To be paid by my company to go learn lock picking,ContinueContinue reading “Texas, Training, and Locks”
Playing Tourist
So, no, I haven’t kept up with my 10 minutes of writing a day for the last couple weeks. Buuut, I have a good excuse, honest. My older sister came to visit me for 10 days and, for those of you who don’t think that is a good enough excuse, let me clarify. This wasContinueContinue reading “Playing Tourist”
