I’m very excited to announce the publication of an anthology of autoethnographic works (stories, poems, photographs, and more) featuring my short story, “Wednesday Night,” as well as the work of many of my talented classmates from Rollins College. You can purchase the paperback for $24.95, and we hope to release an eBook version in the…
Now that I work as a writer (well, part time, at least), I realize that I take far less time each week to work on my creative pursuits. I’m spending anywhere from an hour to three hours per day writing web content, health and tech articles, and social media blurbs for The Daily Buzz, but…

I’ve enjoyed being unproductive, but I don’t want to end my Spring Break without accomplishing something, so I’m going to call on my followers here…
Every Thursday night, my husband and I compete in a coed kickball league. It’s a poorly organized group of friends who get together with the sole purpose of having a few beers, a few laughs and, if time allows, a few runs. The teams we play against range from the least competitive to the die-hard…
In an effort to break through my writer’s block, I went sifting through some older projects I had started as part of my coursework at Full Sail University.
