NaNoWriMo Prep 2019!

October 9, 2019

It’s almost November, and I’ve been doing a lot of prep for NaNoWriMo. Read to see how I’ve been preparing! Usually I plan a bit for NaNoWriMo (and sometimes don’t think of an idea until November 1), but this year I have been doing a lot of prep. Last Camp NaNoWriMo, I quit (read about…

Story Musing

June 30, 2018

About Me

Hi! I’m Emma! I love to bake, eat (anything gluten free that doesn’t taste like cardboard), craft, write, play cello, sing, do calligraphy and play with my dog, Cali (She’s on Instagram now!) Yeah, my bedroom is also actually the cupboard under the stairs, just like Harry Potter 🙂
