Reading and Writing Spaces

March 19, 2014

As someone who spends the majority of their time either reading or writing I sometimes think I would be more productive and/or creative if I could find the perfect space. This thought usually comes to me when I’m procrastinating because really, neither reading or writing take a lot of space.

January 31, 2014

  Last weekend I took part in the mini-Bloggiesta event. It’s a great chance to do some much needed housekeeping and work on ways to make your blog better.
