Moriah Snell Writes . . .

From "The Craziness of Me" I'm right there with you, Lin. Sometimes it feels like my coffee is all that's holding me together. That's why I've been posting things like  "Please Remember"  and  "And Empty Space" . Because I'm reminding myself of those things even as I write them.  From "To Keep Me Sane" How am I trying again? Y'all may remember from  2019's final post  (the one with cute puppy gif) that one of my goals for 2020 was to find an agent for  The Dragons' Stones .  Well... as an effort to rise and renew, I sent my book to an agent. I really don't know what comes next. I may be accepted. I may be rejected. All I know is I'm trying. I've dreamed of doing this since I was about thirteen years old. Here I am some seven years later, and I've done it. It's the first step to really living my dream. Via Pinterest And that's what this is for me - a small victor...

From "The Craziness of Me" Y'all want to know something crazy? I sometimes I forget that there's anyone out. I sometimes forget that any's listening. Via Pinterest A lot of the time, it feels like it's just me and my words. This blog is simple empty space. And you know what? I love that. I'm writer. An empty page, an empty word document, those are terrifying sometimes. They are serious. This blog? I put a picture at the top of the post, and it isn't empty anymore. Better yet, it's an empty space that can be serious or it can be silly. See, my blog lets me be me. I put aside my characters and be myself. Whatever I'm feeling, Whatever I'm thinking, I can just write it down. Bad poetry? That's not something I'm ashamed of here. A stupid funny meme? That fits right in. A rant about Tolkien? Why not? So today, I just want to acknowledge this empty space. I want to appreciate it. I want to enjoy the fact that ...

Via Pinterest Please remember that it's okay to cry. Please remember that strength can mean talking too. Please remember that tomorrow brings another sunrise. Please remember that your laugh is a magical thing. Please remember that now will change. Please remember that you are alive for a reason. Please remember that all of this mess will work out. Please remember that hope changes everything. Please remember that dreaming renews your hopes.

From "The Craziness of Me" If this doesn't make sense to you, I have five books you need to read. 'Cause. . . . From "My Love Language" Cumberbatch knows what's up.  From "The Craziness of Me" Anywhooo..!!! 2020 is offically underway. Already, it's shaping up to be a killer year, full of changes and growth. For anyone who didn't read the post:  Hello, 2020 , my word of 2020 is "Renewal". I'm hoping and praying for positive changes all this year. Reading   in   2020: So part of that is (of course) my reading and writing. As I've had to adult more, my reading has slipped. Thus, my book intake has dropped, and that is sadness. I'm combating that in a couple ways. The site  Goodreads  is one of them. Goodreads is basically a tracker of how many books you read. It also allows you to set a goal for the year, telling you when you're behind or ahead. The site offers suggested books th...

From Pinterest Someday I'll find the words to tell you everything Someday I'll find the courage to tell you every word Someday I'll find a way to show you every me

From "The Craziness of Me" At a get-together last night, someone asked what everyone's "word of 2020" was - a word to summarize what they hoped for in the coming year. I couldn't decide on one but continued to think about it. My word for 2020 is "RENEWAL". From Pinterest Why renewal? When I thought over 2019 for  my last post , I realized that there were so many things in my life that I'm not happy with. Some of them are nothing more than unpleasant situations. Others are parts of my personality and life that I want to change. Basically, I want 2020 to a year that I look back on and say "I am better, I am stronger, and I am renewed." I want to come out of this year full of positive, lasting changes. I want to come out of 2020 as fuller version of myself that isn't scared and isn't ashamed. Why renewal? Because I want to renew my life. Because I want to renew myself. From Pinterest
