Jan 14, 2021 | Sonya Cheney

I’m sitting here at my kitchen peninsula (my new writing space for #momlife reasons) as I type, Finn upstairs napping, laundry running in the washing machine, dishes in the dishwasher, and dinner prep going in the oven. I stared at the blank screen of Scrivener to work on a new scene for my novel but…

december daily 2020 | highlights and reflections.

Jan 08, 2021 | Sonya Cheney

And so ends 2020, the year that we thought never would, and with it the major holiday season and by extension, December Daily. This was my first year with the project, and it was by far my biggest scrapbooking endeavor to date. I still consider myself a newbie scrapbooker, and I was hesitant, overwhelmed, and…

finding my footing in hybrid scrapbooking.

Nov 18, 2020 | Sonya Cheney

I love crafts. It’s a blanket statement because I tend to bounce around from one thing to another: knitting, quilting, cross stitch, and, most recently, watercolor. I love having options when it comes to expressing my creativity and personality, and sometimes I just want the challenge of something new or less frequently tried. But–I also…

nanowrimo 2020 | surivival kit + rewards

Oct 15, 2020 | Sonya Cheney

November is closing in on us, fellow writers. Like I mentioned previously, part of my prep for NaNoWriMo is setting myself up with a so-called “survival kit” and planning out some rewards to keep me motivated as I go along–because no matter how exciting it can be to write a whole-ass novel, it can also…

it’s just not my thing. (and that’s okay!)

Oct 09, 2020 | Sonya Cheney

I think I’m quitting YouTube. That’s not the biggest revelation given that I’ve only made three videos, but after making a couple of podcast episodes and a time lapse, I’m not sure I love videography. The time lapse was probably the most fun I had of the three, and I do hope to make more…

preptober + nanowrimo 2020.

Oct 01, 2020 | Sonya Cheney

October 1. Preptober is here and that means we are now on a thirty-one-day countdown to NaNoWriMo 2020. If you were someone thinking, “Quarantine will give me all the time I need to write a novel,” only to…not do it, allow me to recommend the mind numbing race to fifty-thousand words that is National Novel…

who do i write for?

Jul 02, 2020 | Sonya Cheney

I’ll write for myself, whether anyone else reads it or not. But then—if I write something, then choose to submit it, or write something and choose to publish it, does that negate my declaration to write only for myself? Does writing for myself mean hiding it away in my hard drive forever? I mean, probably…

june 2020 | life lately.

Jun 28, 2020 | Sonya Cheney

I would surprise no one by saying there’s been an absurd amount of plain shit going on. Global pandemic, civil rights movements, murder hornets, alien invasion… Wait, that one hasn’t happened yet. Anyway, you understand what I’m saying. And in the midst of it all, survival–literal and spiritual–have been at the top of the list….

Hello there!
I’m Sonya! I like horror movies, knitting, and witchcraft.

Okay, it's August and I only just decided to start Okay, it's August and I only just decided to start using a hobonichi techo avec as a planner journal a la @bybun but I'm okay with this last minute decision. So last night I collaged the cover of the July-December book and listened to @youmustrememberthis during some me time, and I'm still obsessed with how the cover turned out. 😍
DID I splatter my tablet with white paint in the p DID I splatter my tablet with white paint in the process of this art journal spread? Yeah, obviously. That's half the fun.

But I have another page in my journal ready for words, so mission accomplished.
