Stuck.

On January 8, 2021January 7, 2021 By Kari Lynn MIn Writing!!!2 Comments

Reflections on Progress

On September 25, 2020September 25, 2020 By Kari Lynn MIn Writing!!!Leave a comment

So, I know I talked about progress writing and stuff in other posts not too long ago, but this post is completely unrelated to it. Well, actually, I'll probably end up relating them by the end, but just hear me out for a bit first. I keep a lot of old notebooks around sometimes, but …

Am I writing too fast?

On September 11, 2020September 10, 2020 By Kari Lynn MIn "Kari Bradshaw"2 Comments

Hey, fellow writers, wanna hear a joke? Here's one that my nieces love... Why was Cinderella bad at basketball? She always ran away from the ball! Ha... ha... But, hey, even the cheesiest of jokes always get a laugh out of somebody, right? Especially me, if anyone. I unapologetically love a good pun. So, recently, …
