Why L. M. Montgomery Is My Favorite Author
Hello everyone! It’s Amelia, and today I wanted to talk a little bit about my favorite author, L. M. Montgomery, and why I enjoy her books so much. I started reading them when I was around eleven or twelve years old and I’ve read ten of her stories so far. Her books have always renewed a love of beautiful and lovely things in me, and that is something that has made me treasure them so much over the years. L. M. Montgomery’s books are classic and timeless, and many people have been just as enchanted as I have by her stories. They have such quality characters and a beautiful writing…

Living Like a Story
Hi everyone! It’s Amelia writing today. In today’s post, I talk a little bit about stories, their structures, and how both have helped me to look at life a little bit differently. I hope you enjoy! Introduction Have you ever read a book (or watched a film) and wished you could be transported into that world and time? If you’re anything like me, then you have wanted that pretty often! But that desire has probably gone beyond just that “it would be a cool experience” or you would like to be in someone else’s shoes for a day. It has probably been more about your desire to be needed, loved,…

My Summer Writing Goals (and How You Could Set Some Too)
Hi, everyone! This is Amelia today. With school pretty much over and summer on its way, I thought I would talk a little bit about my writing goals for the summer and how I plan to achieve them. I also wanted to talk about how, even if you’re not a writer, you can set some goals too! My Writing Goals My Current WIP I’m over 90,000 words into my first draft of “Project Airship” as I’ve been calling it for a while now. My word count estimate for this novel was 100,000 words originally, but I feel like it’ll probably be closer to 120,000. My goal for this project over…

A Springtime Collection
Hi, everyone! It’s Amelia writing today. Now that spring is here, I thought I would share a few things that both remind me of spring and are inspired by spring. I hope you enjoy this little spring collection that I gathered up for this post! Poems / quotes There is no time like Spring, When life’s alive in everything, Before new nestlings sing, Before cleft swallows speed their journey back Along the trackless track – God guides their wing, He spreads their table that they nothing lack, – Before the daisy grows a common flower Before the sun has power To scorch the world up in his noontide hour. –…

Blessings From My Week – A Picture a Day
Hey, everyone! It’s Amelia writing today. I thought it would be fun to challenge myself to take a picture each day of the week and share those here! Going off of the unintentional theme we’ve had lately on our blog about finding the blessings in our ordinary lives, I hoped this would be a good challenge for me. My intention for this post was in no way to try to show how “good” my life is, but just to show my highlights from a pretty ordinary week in my life. My life is pretty “ordinary”, so I think that this was really helpful for me to start looking harder for…
