I never really planned to teach high school, but I've fallen in love with this job. I get to share my passion for words and literature with eager (or sometimes, not very eager) students, who will hopefully take this knowledge and necessary skills with them wherever they go. This was my obligatory first-day-of-school picture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c2034ab09f95f2a776cb59/1514085202602-C7YLGSM5LPE341RTW2EW/Screen+Shot+2017-12-23+at+9.55.20+PM.png Blog - 2017 Reflection - I embraced my word of the year – "love".

I technically did not reach my intended reading goal this year, but I actually read a lot more. While searching for texts to teach, I've read hundreds of short stories, essays, and poetry from various sources. This makes me super annoyed that our society only counts whole books for reading goals, but super glad that I did read deep and wide this year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56c2034ab09f95f2a776cb59/1514084370228-0Q5XMIDV887902BO5258/Screen+Shot+2017-12-23+at+9.54.37+PM.png Blog - 2017 Reflection - I created an awesome planner for writers In this blank-dated three-month planner, you aim to conquer one epic writing goal in the span of a season.

As writers, we engage in other literary activities for our writing to become the best writers we can be. We work to balance out our writing, to refuel our creative wells, to know our stories intimately, and to share our stories with the world. Sometimes you'll be drafting intensely, but sometimes you need to step back and read. Sometimes you'll be revising your story, but you also need to start preparing to submit your work. Sometimes you'll be working intensely on your novel, but sometimes stepping away and experimenting with a new form can restore your energy and help you fix that plot hole you've been stuck on. We've got to infuse these kind of activities into your writer's practice so you can become the holistic, well-rounded, wholehearted writer you hope to be. I've found that there are six major categories of things that should always be on your writer's to-do list to balance out your writing practice: Reading, Experimentation, Wholehearted Writing Sessions, Intimate WIP Discovery, Engagement with the Literary Community, and Writerpreneurship Building. Let's talk about how you can infuse them into your writing life, put them on your writer's to-do list, and work to become the best writer you can be. (Plus, I've got 94 activities to accomplish these things and show your writing life some love!).

But we could sit around waiting for this "right" reality for the rest of our lives. The truth is, you're a writer and a human. You do have a day-job and responsibilities and a life. But you can't let the fact that you're human get in the way of the fact that you're a writer. Instead of thinking about your writing and life as an "us" versus "them" war, we have to help them work together.

If you want to grow as a writer, you have to put in some work. You have to learn about craft, you have to lay the proper mental foundation, you have to get the writing done consistently, again and again. There are TONS of avenues to help you grow as a writer, and many of them are free. But when you're ready to take your writing to the next level, you're going to have to invest. And this is where a LOT of writers get unnecessarily held back. One of the biggest myths I see from writers all the time goes something like this: "I need to make money from writing before I invest money into writing," or "The writing has to prove its worth before I spend any money on it." And this is SUCH a big myth. So let's debunk the myth and look at some quality avenues of where to invest your writing. You'll stop stunting your growth as a writer, and be on your way to becoming the writer you've always wanted to be in no time. Your writing life will thank you for it.

It isn't just about the weather or the town where the story takes place. It isn't just world-building from scratch. Setting certainly can be these things, but it also goes a lot deeper than that.

Setting does A LOT more work (even if it is subtle, background work) than we often give it credit for. So, how do you get your setting to do its work – productive, necessary, hard work – without going overboard? We're going to look at the 3 mistakes writers often make when designing their setting or worldbuilding and how to fix it.
