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…

2 Year Anniversary Blog Redesign!
Hello, everyone! It’s hard to believe that we have now been blogging for two years! We thought that a great way to celebrate this milestone would be to do a blog redesign. When we first started Talking over Tea, we definitely had no idea how much we would end up changing our topics, style, and ideas, so we are very excited to show you the new design that is more our cup of tea! 🙂 Even though we have only been blogging for two years, we have definitely seen big ways that we can be changing, not only in our blog’s style, but also in the posts that we make.…
