Hey all, Sam here. Welcome back to another Weekend Writer post. I've had my Freewrite Traveler for just over three weeks, and I figured it was time for a quick little post about it. Also, Freewrite is hosting a 50K May writing challenge, and yes, I already know that I'm trying to build up my… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Freewrite Traveler
Hey all, Sam here. Do you know how difficult it was to choose which book was going to be the featured image for this post? There were like three books I wanted to choose, but unless I edited them to be all together in one image, I had to narrow it down to just one.… Continue reading April 2026 Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. This post should have been up MONTHS ago. It's kind of obvious to say that it has really been a struggle for me to write, whether that is my stories or here on the blog. I'm trying to work my way through some things and find ways to motivate myself to… Continue reading My Top Ten Reads of 2025 (July-Dec Edition)
Hey all, Sam here. I almost feel like I have to get this post up. Last night I did something that was a bit of an impulsive splurge. Well...I guess it wasn't all that impulsive. I've been staring at the Freewrite Traveler device for a year or so now, and telling myself that it was… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Write Brave Challenge 2026
Hey all, Sam here. Did I start drafting today's post just a few days into March? Yep, but I was already pretty sure I knew what books I wanted to pick up for the month of April, so it seemed like an easy choice. I actually only ended up changing two of the books on… Continue reading What Do I Want to Read April?

To be completely honest, all the stress is driving… Continue reading February 2026 Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. Well, somehow January is over already. I'm honestly getting rather tired of months that feel simultaneously very long and slow but also very fast. It feels like every day feels like an eternity with so much awful stuff happening, but then we're already a whole month into 2026 already and how… Continue reading January 2026 Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. When we reached the end of 2025, oh I had such high hopes for the possibility and potential of 2026. There was something about it that felt so delightful and hopeful....and it only took a few days into the new year to realize that things were just going to continue being… Continue reading Weekend Writer: A Need for Creativity in Tough Times
Hey all, Sam here. Overall, I'm doing...okay with my January TBR. I have a few more days off before the end of the month, so I'm hoping to get some decent reading time in for those as well, which should get me fairly close to completing my list of hopeful reads for the month. We'll… Continue reading Books I’d Like to Read in February 2026
Hey all, Sam here. All right, so I had definitely planned and intended to have this post up in the first few days of the new year. However, due to having to swap from overnight shift to just regular night shift, I have been exhausted and struggling to readjust my sleep schedule...which meant that I… Continue reading Goals for 2026
