Welcome back to Links! Apologies for no Links last week. Like many, I was not doing too well Wednesday morning and promptly texted Sarah, “Oh shit. I forgot to schedule a Links post.” But I am back! Perhaps not too much better than I was a week ago, but baby steps. The unpacking has kept me distracted and I am eager for the Thanksgiving break to full cozy up in front of our fireplace with … Continue reading Links: Ghostwriters, Free eBooks, & More →
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! We are roasting here in New England! I’ve been going hard on lots of crisp, fresh salads. My partner and I are in the midst of lots of planning – ring designing, elopement planning, house buying stuff. Wow, is it overwhelming and not super easy to find a central list of resources. However, we’ve started doing Planning Tuesdays, where we dedicate an hour or so on Tuesday evenings to whittle … Continue reading Links: Bridgerton, Clay Crafts, & More →
Goooood morning! It’s a slow content day so that means afternoon links has turned into a little morning treat. Might I suggest giving it a read over tea or coffee and maybe your favorite pastry. Also breaking news! I’m tired of it being hot. I am longing for fall or, dare I even say it, winter. I want to nest in my blankets or take a steamy bath without worrying about passing out. I also … Continue reading Links: Podcasts, Howie Duwett & More →

Welcome back to Wednesday Links where I am definitely very sleepy! So far this week, every day has felt like a Monday. Between the heat and this pandemic, I’m just over it. Counties near me are going back to mask mandates and I’m all for doing whatever is best for the community, but it just makes me sad. Anyone else feeling the same way? Thank god I had therapy yesterday. … We all knew that … Continue reading Links: Tattoos, Plagiarism, & More →
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I’m still in Florida and let’s just say it isn’t going super well. My flight was also delayed by a giant man baby refusing to wear a mask and then cursing out a plane mostly full of families going to Disney. On the bright side, I did get a pretty sporty rental car and I went to Atlanta for the Georgia Aquarium to finally see their whale sharks. … In … Continue reading Links: Irish Music, a Writer’s Fellowship, & More →

I’ve talked a few times over the years about how I can’t write while listening to music with lyrics. I can only listen to one set of words at a time, and the ones I need to hear are quiet, and in my brain. So I’ve collected a few different options in terms of music to write or read to, and I thought, in case you need to create your own quiet, soothing oasis, these … Continue reading A Collection of Music to Write and Read To →
Welcome to Wednesday Links! I thought today was the last Wednesday of the month, but I was wrong and I feel like I no longer have any concept of days after returning from RT. Anyway, here are some awesome things! … Author Tamara Lush was on a previous podcast episode to talk about her writer residency on Amtrak. If you want to soak up more info on Lush’s experience, she wrote about it for PopSugar: … Continue reading Links: Podcasts, Writing, & Comics! →
Not Just Jane: Rediscovering Seven Amazing Women Writers Who Transformed British Literature is a fascinating look at the works and lives of seven English authors: Charlotte Turner Smith, Helen Maria Williams, Mary Robinson, Catherine Crowe, Sara Coleridge, Dinah Mulock Craik, and Mary Elizabeth Braddon. The book profiles how their careers were shaped by the society they lived in, and how their writing, in turn, shaped society. Because the author, Shelley DeWees, is primarily writing about books … Continue reading Not Just Jane by Shelley DeWees →
