Image by ecassells from Pixabay For those who don’t know, DNF stands for did not finish. I had to look it up when I first came across it because I’m at that awkward age where I’m a millennial, but I don’t know all the lingo the kids are using these days. Anyway, DNF hadn’t beenContinueContinue reading “Why It’s OK to Give up on a Book: The DNF Doubt”

Audio Books! Can I Get An Amen?
Image by Karolina Grabowska from Pixabay I started listening to audio books a little over a year ago, hesitant to take on the endeavor because I thought, “I can’t possibly pay attention to a story if I’m listening to it.” Of course, that logic is flawed because that’s how I used to take in storiesContinueContinue reading “Audio Books! Can I Get An Amen?”
Busy As a Bee
I was absent all through the month of March as I was caught up in a whirlwind of new experiences. I traveled to Ireland (hopefully a post on that is coming soon), started grad school and started a new job. Needless to say, I’m adjusting to the new overflowing schedule of responsibilities and work. TheContinueContinue reading “Busy As a Bee”
Wanderlust: North Carolina
I’ve had the pleasure of visiting North Carolina three times with my a cappella group for a conference called SoJam. The first two times, if I remember correctly, were at Duke University in Durham. I didn’t spend a great amount of time there because it was mostly spent on campus at the conference, but IContinueContinue reading “Wanderlust: North Carolina”

QuickContinueContinue reading “Meagan Reads YA Sci-Fi: Delirium by Lauren Oliver”
Forever Golden
Wrote this a few years ago for an assignment in my first creative writing class at UCF. It was their fiftieth anniversary, the golden one. Fifty years ago on this day Theodore and Ethel were married in her father’s blooming garden. It had been filled with red and pink roses, white and purple carnations, purestContinueContinue reading “Forever Golden”
Waiting On the River
This is an updated version of a piece of flash fiction I wrote for a prompt. The original is published on my old writer’s blog here. A drop of sweat rolled down Riley’s forehead. Her eyes darted back and forth. She stared at the hand in her grasp. She swallowed hard and licked her lipsContinueContinue reading “Waiting On the River”
Guardian Angels
This is another one from the Supernatural chapbook I’d made for my friend’s birthday. Originally shared here. “Angel of God, my guardian dear. To whom his love commits me here…” —Old children’s prayer Mom always said angels were watching over me but with what life dealt me, I found that hard to believe. Then IContinueContinue reading “Guardian Angels”
Wanderlust: New York City
Let’s start this travel blogging endeavor with the first trip I remember making that gave me the travel bug. I don’t count Puerto Rico at 1-year-old or Jersey at four because I have no memories of those trips. No, my first official journey into the world of travel happened when I was 8-years-old and myContinueContinue reading “Wanderlust: New York City”
