Highlights of 2014

Boy, what a year!

Here are the highlights of 2014:





• Last year, my niece, Sadie Lorraine, was born 2 months premature, weighing only 3 pounds. 













Tomorrow she turns 1! 



She is a very happy and a perfectly healthy kiddo! 



I'm grateful that she is doing so well!















• I graduated from college! 

• I started an Etsy shop!

















• I attended a prestigious writing workshop at Interlochen and have made great strides with my manuscript!

• I read some great books and discovered new and amazing authors! Kasie West, Morgan Matson, Stephanie Perkins, Tahereh Mafi, to name a few. 







Looking ahead to 2015:

• I'm planning to remodel my sewing room! I'm so excited about this!!!

• I have so many ideas for new items for my Etsy shop and I need to restock some of the most popular items. I was fortunate to sell out of many of the items in my shop this holiday season! 

• There are great books coming out on 2015! The one I'm most excited about: Liars Inc. by Paula Stokes. Oh, and, of course, Kasie West's new book, The Fill-In Boyfriend. And the sequel to Sara Shepherd's series, The Perfectionists. And so many more!

Tip of the Week: Tea Time

One of the best ways to grow as a writer is to read constantly and then chat about it with other avid readers. I recently discovered one of the greatest web shows of all time, Tea Time with Team Epic Reads.

Tip of the week: Watch Tea Time and find new books to read

Tea Time

For about an hour a week, the hosts of Tea Time "get a little nerdy" and talk about books. If you love reading and talking about books then you will absolutely love this, often hilarious, web show.

You can catch the show live on Wednesdays--follow their Twitter feed to find out when and where!

In the meantime, catch up on the old episodes of Tea Time on YouTube!



Find them on: YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tumbler, and on their website.
