On 16th October 2020, I took part in my first Heart Breathings’ virtual writing retreat. The event lasted for three days, and its goal is to help you write your current project.
In October, I joined Sarra Cannon’s Heart Breathings Word Sprints Challenge Facebook group. I had heard about this group from Sarra’s Heart Breathings YouTube channel, which I watch for the great writing and self-publishing advice — she’s amazing. If you’re a writer, I recommend you watch this channel.

November is soon upon us, and that can only mean one thing for writers from all over the world: it’s NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) time. NaNoWriMo is where writers pledged to write at least 50,000 words of their novel in November. I first heard about NaNoWriMo in…
What happened to February? It feels like I blinked and the month was gone. I don’t know why, but it feels like time is racing towards something. Well, with a new month, it’s time to check on my progress with my writing goals. Again, I haven’t achieved everything…
