Taking a Coffee Break

Doing what you love as your occupation can be a bit daunting. I've always enjoyed writing so when I made the decision to become a freelance writer, I thought it would be a piece of cake. I'll be honest, it's not as easy as it sounds. Being conscious of my work and stressing over whether I did a good enough job are my main issues with my work productivity. Sometimes I'm so in my head, I create my own writer's block. So today, I decided to catch up with my friend, Summer who's been out of town for a few weeks. We headed over to one of my favorite local coffee shops, Sambalatte. If you're ever in Vegas, I highly recommend you check them out. Their Nutella Latte is amazing and my drink of choice. Catching up with Summer was a great way for me to get out of my thoughts and enjoy time away from my laptop. Now that I've had some friend time, I can get back to my work. I'm also working through "Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You" so bear with me as I'll be sure to write my review on it this weekend!

Hello and Welcome!

   

Working from home provides me with a decent amount of time of my hands, so I've decided to jump into writing a blog about, well... writing! I absolutely love the written word. There's something to be said about how magical the imagination is, especially when a good book helps you transport into a different world. I just love it! I also love coffee, like a lot. I am a regular fixture at my local Starbucks and admittedly I know all of the baristas names and they all know me and my order (caramel macchiato). Currently, I just started reading "Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You" by Peter Cameron. I'm also in the beginning stages of writing my own works. So I hope you will join me in my journey of reading, writing, and caffeine! Cheers!
