I also keep a running list of blog ideas/book ideas in my bullet journal so if I'm really stuck, I go there. (less)

Just write things down, whether on a journal, on a computer, whatever. Write. Often.
And read a LOT. That's the best way to get a sense for dialogue, pacing, construction. Of course it goes without saying that you're reading good things, and not crap.
Read a lot. Write a lot. (less)

Looking through Emily’s many years of blogging, she covered such a wide range of topics! Yes, she loved discussing her faith and belief in God, talking about her family, and sharing encouraging words about those going through physical trials such as she endured, but she also loved creating recommendation lists for others that she compiled from her travels.

Quotes by Emily M. DeArdo  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“What small gesture can you make today to help someone who is struggling?”
Emily M. DeArdo, Living Memento Mori: My Journey through the Stations of the Cross

“True, Jesus is there. But it may not be enough for us to know that Jesus is in the boat with us. We want him to do something. How many times in our lives does it seem as if Jesus is asleep—or dead—while we are perishing?”
Emily M. DeArdo, Living Memento Mori: My Journey through the Stations of the Cross

“All the privilege I claim for my own sex (it is not a very enviable one: you need not covet it), is that of loving longest, when existence or when hope is gone!”
Jane Austen, Persuasion

“Isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?”
L.M. Montgomery

“I am simply a 'book drunkard.' Books have the same irresistible temptation for me that liquor has for its devotee. I cannot withstand them.”
L.M. Montgomery

“After all," Anne had said to Marilla once, "I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.”
L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea

“It's not what the world holds for you. It's what you bring to it.”
Kevin Sullivan
