Writing, Motivation, + More

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 is. It’s probably not a novel. I’m aiming for around 40k words, so what is the word requirement for a “novel?”

If I were honest with you, I haven’t been doing a lot of typing AT ALL this summer. I have been too busy** with the following:

  • working out stuff for a website,

  • designing other stuff, like a blog my friend and I do,

  • and my mom needed a design too,

  • and then there was vacation,

  • and other stuff where I seriously was busy.

**Busy might not be the right word. It’s more like I’d rather do anything than type. I did not just say that.

So… Unfortunately no news today that I got an agent. YET. Hey, it’ll be the holidays celebration all over again just when I finish my book. Because, I’ve never done that. I start something, then delete it. But I feel confident in this storyline. I’ve day dreamed too much about it becoming the next big book or a movie. A girl can dream right?

Enough with my head in the clouds. I really should* type.
*Should but not gonna. That’s my problem.

I need to lighten the mood here. I mean who wants to read a blog where all I talk about is how horrible I’m doing with my typing?

A few posts that I’m hoping to put on the blog this week:

-my faith: more details on why I do what I do
-my writing routine: how I plot, write, draft, & more
-having a purpose: a post where I talk about a point of view I have on something
-and also a fun summer link-up. (:

So stay tuned! The best posts of this blog are yet to come. Today I mainly just wanted to share a writing update. If you’re on Facebook, please like my page here and maybe share my blog too so we can get some new attention and followers. (: Thank you soooo much for stopping by today!

Hi, I’m Ashlee!

Hi, I’m Ashlee!

Welcome to My Blog

I am passionate about sharing and living for Jesus, authentic storytelling, moving design, and all things girly, just because. Here on my blog, I love writing about all the things God is teaching me in my everyday life to inspire, encourage, and entertain for His glory, above all, and to share an honest, raw view of life, faith, and His light, love, and hope that saves. As an aspiring author, I record my journey of trusting God with all my dreams. I pray this space can help you fall in love with God more deeply, make you laugh, and encourage, challenge, and reassure you as you seek to live a bold, abundant life for Him.
