Writing takes dedication, but so does rewarding yourself! Whether it’s a glass of whiskey, a great indie author show, or finding the perfect new journal, celebrating the hard work we put into our words is essential. What’s your go-to reward after a long writing session?
Read More Music, movies, art, books, and video games—all of them weave into my writing in ways I never expected.

Now, I balance both—becoming a Plantser, blending plotting with spontaneous creativity.

Funyuns and Monster Rehab Green Tea are my go-to duo when I need a quick boost. When I’m feeling like balancing things out, I reach for peppers with cream cheese and everything bagel seasoning. But today? It’s all about the ultimate St. Patrick’s Day treat—corned beef, cabbage, and a cold Killian’s Irish Red. Because sometimes, the best inspiration comes with a great meal. What snacks fuel your writing sessions?
