Will this be the post to end the debate on handwriting vs. typing? Probably not. But, I did want to throw my opinion out there in the hopes that maybe it helps someone who feels like they’re stuck.

Update on Camp NaNoWriMo
If you are following me on Instagram, you can probably tell I am doing a lot better this month on Camp NaNoWriMo. If you’re not following me yet, what are you doing? (I’m kidding, I’m kidding!) But, I just wanted to post a little update about where I am right now and how the month has been going.
…What I Learned From Camp NaNoWriMo
I tried Camp NaNoWriMo last April for the first time and I have to say, I completely failed. I did not prep at all and I honestly had way too many exams so I didn’t get nearly as much writing done as I had hoped. I also didn’t outline my story at all.
…How to Create a Writing Portfolio
I’ve seen a lot of people starting up freelance recently. So, I thought I would make a post on how to create a writing portfolio with all the things I’ve learned about portfolios in hopes that it helps people who are just starting out. I do want to let you all know that I am not a professional and I am coming from a copywriting background, but I still think these tips should help out people who are starting a writing portfolio for the first time.
…How to Find a Writing Community
Writing is a lonely occupation. Your coworkers are just your pets and a couple of coffee shop goers who occupy the same shop you do. If you’re like me, you might not know anyone in the “real world” who is also a writer. So, I’ve tried to find a community online, hoping to see people with similar experiences to my own to bond over. I went ahead and broke it down by social media platform so that you could essentially find a writing community on whichever platform you are most comfortable with and go from there.
…Readers and Writers Group
I am a part of a lot of Facebook groups, 20 Facebook Groups to be exact. Most are reading and writing Facebook groups, but I feel like my main problem with them is that they either get so big that my notifications are constantly going off or that all I see is self-promotion and it takes the life out of a group I enjoyed. Don’t get me wrong, I do use groups for self-promotion on occasion, but I miss a lot of the groups that felt like I was hanging out with friends.
…Two Quick Tips to Improve Your Writing
I am by no means a professional writer. However, I do a lot of things to make my life easier and for those of you just starting out or maybe just starting up again, I wanted to give you some quick tips to improve your writing.
…Camp NaNoWriMo Printable
Another month, another Camp NaNoWriMo! That means it’s almost time to start grinding out your novels. April was the first time I ever participated in NaNoWriMo and honestly, I didn’t do super well. So, here’s to hoping this month is even better!
…How to Overcome Writer’s Block
Starring at an empty page is incredibly intimidating. You sit there, pen in your hand, and nothing comes to mind. Then, you immediately spiral into an existential crisis of trying to figure out if you can even call yourself a writer anymore. You, my friend, have writer’s block.
…Creating Time For Writing
As I am sure most of you know, I’m a full-time student. Which means, I always struggle to find time for writing because I can always push it to the side to make time for homework.
