Let's have some fun today! So... anybody ever seen or played around with these books before? Well... I haven't either, I'll admit that, but they were all the rage when I was probably around middle school age and I always wanted one of the books for myself. ...I never got it, though. Anyway, here we …
Author: Kari Lynn M
Hey there! I'm Kari, a self-published author/independent artist/amateur cake decorator/freelance writer and creator with a dream. The dream of sharing stories with as many people I can possibly reach... and having an abundant supply of white chocolate truffles.
And that's pretty much me!
I BEAT THE BURN OUT!!!
Yes, it's official! The God-awful burn out I mentioned before is finally GONE!!! Hallelujah. Finally, the day has come where I have sat down at my laptop, opened the story I was stuck in a rut with, and written 800 words straight in one sitting without a single problem. And the next day where I …
What it’s like to write in a second language.
...for me, at least. First, though, let me give you some... context and background on my part, I guess. I'm an English-only native speaker, meaning I grew up, for the most part, only learning and knowing English. I did, however, learn a small amount of Spanish from around ages 3-5 when my older siblings taught …

Ghosts & Shadows
Hey y'all, me again with yet another poem preview from Holding onto Stars! This one's called Ghosts & Shadows and it's probably one of my faves so far... Ghosts and shadows Why won't they go? Another spirit left to haunt My thoughts until the dawn Another demon yet to chase From the heart of which …
Blackout Poetry?!?!
ALRIGHT SO, I must have been kept in the dark or something (haha) because I had never heard of this before... until now. Blackout poetry. "The light of the universe" by Austin Kleon, original writer credited for creating this idea. "13" by Natalie via The New York Times A... trend, I guess you could call …
My fave summer thing
Going for a dip in the pool? Ick, no, I hate swimming. Laying out in the sun on the beach? No, thanks, I'm not one to enjoy skin cancer. Riding a bike? Please, no, that never ends well for me. Picnics? BBQs? Eh... too many bugs. Alright, Kari, for real... what is it, then? Don't …
Another poem ‘preview’!
Well, here's another lil' poem I wrote. I really like this one and thought it was preview-blog worthy, so... here it is! Titled: Sorrows lost She got a phone call Late in the night And she took the fault There was no one to blame None wrong nor right But not to her it seemed …
Google KNOWS me!!!
Yeeeeeee!!! This might sound like a dumb little thing or something, but... I don't care; I'm pumped! Okay, so here's what's up. The moment I've been waiting for, the one that makes me (although unofficially) one step closer to being a slightly well known author... has happened. My pen name (and pretty much real name- …
There’s a difference between…
Make this one of my top quotes if I miraculously become famous one day. (A gal can dream, right?) There is a difference between making a mistake and giving in to fate. Now, I'm not saying that all of our lives are run purely by destiny and we have no free will or say in …
Burn out.
A few years ago, my sister had this dog. It was a toy yorkie and whenever he got mad or frustrated or didn't want to go outside he would do this cute little thing where he'd scratch his claws against the carpet and do this moonwalk kind of thing. It's super hard to explain in …
