2023 notebook and planner lineup.

Jan 09, 2023 | Sonya Cheney

I can’t quite decide if I’m proud of myself for only having four books to work through 2023 or if I really set myself up for disaster trying to work with so many. But they all have different purposes, I promise! Even if some of them have overlapping entries, i.e. goal breakdowns for the year….

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…

nanowrimo 2020 | surivival kit + rewards

Oct 15, 2020 | Sonya Cheney

November is closing in on us, fellow writers.

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

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…

Uhhhhhhhhh I decided to go through my scrapbooks a Uhhhhhhhhh I decided to go through my scrapbooks and see which ones are unfinished because I'm feeling scrapbook inspired lately and figured instead if starting a new project, I could finish something up. Um. Yeah. Only one is actually finished and it is...not in this pile. 😬

Laid in the hammock to read this about ten minutes Laid in the hammock to read this about ten minutes later, it started to rain just over our house. Big gray clouds over my head, blue sky surrounding. I just grinned at how silly it was. And for the record, I'm enjoying the book immensely. 🍄

The weather has been good for knitting lately, so The weather has been good for knitting lately, so I've started a #lovenotesweater for myself. It was supposed to be a Cargill, but apparently I can't do math and ordered far less yarn than I needed for that. So we adapt. We overcome. We improvise. We choose a different pattern!
