I am a part-time artist and blogger. I have a job with varying shifts that I schedule time around to do my hobbies. I'm highly active and can't sit still so this will great challenge to be more disciplined in my writing habits.

The place I enjoy writing most is my desk in comfortable clothes, most definitely barefoot, with some kind. I also enjoy writing at the library, on an adventure, or at any body of water. Anywhere quiet really; I’d like to explore writing in my hammock.
My goal is 30 minutes a day. Either in the morning or in the late evening is when I feel most creative and have time free time.
I refuel my writing soul by going on hikes, walks, a field trip, going to the ocean, a drive, a bus ride, creating art, listening to music, doing yoga or exercising, cooking or baking, people watching, volunteering, hanging out with friends, or doing anything that makes me happy…
I’d like to plan a monthly or quarterly day or weekend retreat away from Eugene so I am better able to get out of my element and gain some new creative inspiration for my lifestyle and travel blogs. Checking out local history, culture, food, shops, music/ art, hikes and adventures are all great ways to enjoy my time as I travel, learn, have fun, and get some work done!
