I started writing a book out by hand a few weeks ago, and reading it out to someone was so helpful for motivation! I will be honest and confess that I havenโt touched it for two weeks – eek! But honestly the biggest thing pulling me to get back into it is the fact that…
Ever thought about writing out an entire book by hand? Itโs probably a crazy idea. Probably one that causes a whole lot of extra work down the line. But something in me decided it would be a good idea for this project. How on earth did this come about Nika? If youโre wondering why on…
Iโve recently experienced the mystery of story. How sometimes one can have an idea of what they want to write about, but the details are still veiled over and unknown. This mystery is made even greater when one aspires to follow Jesus at every turn. To seek His desires for their story, and not just…
Sometimes creating something takes awhile. The book isnโt finished in a year, the album takes two. Creating isnโt able to be scheduled sometimes, especially when youโre creating with Jesus.

If you have recently experienced the loss of a loved one, I am so sorry, and my heart goes out to you. Three weeks ago today I miscarried my first baby. The aftermath of that loss has been such a hard journey. But writing has played a part in processing everything, from the actual miscarriage,…
I lost that baby long before I saw the scan, or the blood, or the grief. I lost that baby when I was still overjoyed at being a mother, When that maternal joy overflowed in me like a river, and staying home felt like it had purpose. When belly kisses from this child’s dad were…
Have you taken a break from writing, and are wanting to get back into it? Perhaps the break was intentional, or maybe it wasn’t. I know, for me, breaks from writing are almost always not planned and not appreciated by my future self. But no matter the reason for this break in your writing, it…
