I'm Ashlee, and I write a blog. I'm also working on publishing a book. I dream of inspiring people and being a light for the Lord because my faith is everything to me, and I want others to experience a relationship with Christ as well. Why? Because... You can't get through life with sappy quotes. You can, but it will just make life a[...]
This is a very hard post for me to write because I do not want to offend anyone, and I do not want to come off bitter at something just because I got rejected from it. People will believe what they want anyways, and if this post comes out controversial then I'm sorry, but I beg you not to leave hate. I'm all about hearing different o[...]
One thing I know from personally being a writer and hearing other writers say, is that writers observe. And it's true. Bloggers do it just like authors. We observe the world around us and come up with posts. We observe the world around us and think up an entire plot. This is something I really like about being an author and blo[...]
I'm not very persistent with journaling, and that's going to change. Here's 5 reasons why: 1. It's a private way to record memories and thoughts. Have a thought you don't want to blog about?

I've been playing basketball since I was in third grade, and I was the typical scared-of-the-ball girl. At the time, there happened to be a church league for girls first-third grade going on. I would get to play games with others girls who signed up. I got a specific team and t-shirt jersey, and I thought that was so cool. My parents[...]
Well hi! You haven't heard about my writing yet, so let me give you an update. Some might have heard things on social media, but I wanted to share it here too. i finished a book. Remember that goal I set for myself, to finish my whole book by Christmas? Well, I did. It might have been a day after Christmas, but really I just wanted[...]
Lately I've been getting some good word counts into my book. Typing is all about the motivation, and I once in a notebook journaled on each of the pages stuff like I was a coach to myself or something. Basically, it's my motivation. So in images, I'll share that today what I wrote because it really did help.[...]
Welcome back! Now it's time for the OFFICIAL 2nd post of this blog. I thought I'd give you all a writing update for starters. I am working on a novel* currently, it's a little over halfway done just meeting the halfway mark. Okay. I need to get my butt in gear, but I do have a pretty good start. *Don't ask me how many words a novel i[...]
