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…

Art Journal Pages
Hello everyone! Today I just wanted to share my art journal pages and a few reasons why you might want to start an art journal, too! I haven’t been doing this for very long, and I’m certainly not good at it, but it’s very fun to do! This was my first page, and it doesn’t look very good. I really wasn’t sure what I wanted to do when I made this, but I think I’m figuring it out a little more now. And my second, again, a bit strange and not very good. For me, art journaling is a way for me to get creative. It’s my chance to be…

“It is finished.” (Happy Easter!)
Hello everyone! Mattie writing. (: I hope you all had a great Easter yesterday! I had a thought I wanted to share with you about Easter. I was finishing up a design for an Easter card, and was wondering if I should put “Happy Easter!” on the front when something popped into my head: It is finished. A long time ago, I heard or read something about this quote from John 19:30, and it struck me all over again. When Jesus died on the cross and rose again, he did everything that was needed to save me. Everything. Sometimes I find myself doing good things just because I think I…

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…
