A writing journal differs from a diary. Write to prompts. Or just take ten minutes and write about something you're observing. Nature, people, a place. Or story snippets. Don't think about publication to start with, just write. Little revelations about the world around you.

Once you've gotten to the point where you feel confident then start crafting pieces and track your word count. Don't obsess about how many words you're writing--the main purpose of tracking your word count is to build an understanding of your process and establishing in your head what your writing flow feels like. What amount feels easy? What amount can you hit with a little bit of a push? What amount actually wrings you out and drains you?(less)

They have to go through a lot of challenges before they finally can become a couple, and, once together, become equal partners in the adventures they face. Both are strong people and function independently of each other, but still love and cherish their partner without being snarky.(less)

A Winter Escape

The weight of the world grew too heavy yesterday. No one cause—between news, the demands of daily life, and, well, winter—even an unseasonable snowless January with plenty of sun strained the nerves. Too much. Too much.

Cabin fever.

Not even the daily pilgrimage to commune with the good Foxtrotter boy was enough to silence the dread in my gut. The field where he lives in winter and where we ride
