Thursday February fifteenth and I’m sitting on an workout bike in my living room while I watch a movie. I started doing fitness tracking recently, so I’m tracking all of the calories I eat.

I’ve gone over my limit the last five days. So tonight I’m going to excorsize until I’ve reached my calorie count. I want to make this a daily habit going forward from here. Along with documenting my days achievements and actions.

She gave it a purple hue. He did not know what to do.

It's Finally Coming Together

It’s Finally Coming Together

It’s been almost two years since I started this blog and simultaneously began my journey to become a writer. I’ve dabbled in book reviews, I’ve spun around the ideas of travel blogs, I’ve shared a few stories. All in all, I’ve held up my promise to make absolutely no sense.

I am now mere weeks, quite possibly days, from upholding another promise. The completion of my debut novel. The finished…
