Ugh. Been there. Done that. Set it aside… and may or may go back to it one day.

October = FROCKTOBER November = NaNoWriMo More details here👆🏼 ✍🏼💻👠👗👢 . . #fightovariancancer . #ootdstyle #bloggers #blogger #blog #personalstyle #casualstyle #professorstyle #style #fashion #fashionisfun #fashioninspo #fiction #fallfashion #stephsscribe #ovariancancer #shoes #dresses #love #books #ovariancancerawareness #fiction #writer #author

FROCKTOBER | Day 17 “A creative life is an amplified life. It’s a bigger life, a happier life, an expanded life, and a hell of a lot more interesting life. Living in this manner–continuously and stubbornly bringing forward the jewels that are hidden within you–is a fine art, in and of itself.” - Elizabeth Gilbert . The students in travel writing and I talked about @elizabeth_gilbert_writer and her ideas in her book Big Magic today. I could talk about this book all day long. It has inspired me to continue on my writing path and see where book number 5 takes me. (In my hand is book number 4, my collection of short stories called The Postcard). I hope my students will find it in their creative spirit to put something out there as well-- and some already do. I am very, very proud of my travel writers. . . Today's #ootd is a #Boden pink velvet dress and tall boots, sweater by Harold's, and bag by @targetstyle. Happy #humpday! . . . #fightovariancancer . #ootdstyle #bloggers #blogger #blog #personalstyle #workoutfit #professorstyle #style #fashion #fashionisfun #fashioninspo #frocktober2018 #fallfashion #whattowear #stephsscribe #ovariancancer #boots #dresses #love #ovariancancerawareness #author #writer #bigmagic #books #fiction #stevensonuniversity

How true this is. It's also why I am a writer. To tell the stories of heartbreak and loss and to tie them into a bundle mixed with joy and happiness and euphoria. Life deals us some hands--good ones, bad ones, mysterious ones--and sometimes questions linger: why was this person brought into my life? For what purpose or reason? Writing stories gives me an outlet to tell these stories. To connect with people. To explore possibilities. To wonder, what if? . . . #whyiwrite . . . #writinggoals #nanowrimo #writing #writingbooks #writingfiction #tellingstories #writer #author #books #lovestories #allaboutlove #stephsscribe #novels #fiction #fictionbooks #beneaththemimosatree #baseballgirl #innsignificant #amazonauthor #thepostcardandothershortstories

FROCKTOBER | Day 16 "Believe you can and you're halfway there." - Teddy Roosevelt . Well, my friends, we are halfway through #frocktober2018, and we are raising some money. Thank you to some of my friends who have donated to help fight ovarian cancer. I appreciate your contribution to this worthy cause. With so many women out there fighting to beat this disease, we need all the support we can get. Thanks for liking my posts, supporting me, and thereby supporting my friend and colleague Chris Noya. These women are so brave. . Today's #ootd is a dress from @loft , booties from @kohls, purse from @ninewest, and sweater wrap by Cobblestone from @shopthecottagesp in #severnapark ... . . . #fightovariancancer . #ootdstyle #bloggers #blogger #blog #personalstyle #casualstyle #professorstyle #style #fashion #fashionisfun #fashioninspo #whattowear #whattoweartowork #fallfashion #wraps #stephsscribe #ovariancancer #booties #dresses #love #ovariancancerawareness

Confession Time: I can't tell you how many times writing has saved me. It saved me when I was 18 and went through my first heartbreak. Writing poetry helped me through that ordeal. It saved me later in life when I had a crisis of sorts and could have gone down a path that wasn't right for me. I began writing short stories and novels then, and I've never looked back. Writing is cathartic, but it also is part of who I am. Just as my husband feels out of sorts when he skips a workout, so do I feel out of sorts if I skip writing for a day or two. I can't imagine not working on a project, and I've decided to fully focus on what is tentatively titled LIFE WITH NAN as I get a jump start on National Novel Writing Month in November. It's a story of a woman who moves to the Cotswolds to live with her grandmother and to find herself after a broken marriage. It's the strong women in the town who will help her find her way--and find a meaningful purpose in life. Sorry for the long post, but when I get inspired, I get talking...or typing...30,000 words so far. Let's inspire each other, writers! . . . #nanowrimo #jumpstart #writer #writing #writingfiction #writinggoals #author #books #writingbooks #storytelling #stories #stephsscribe #inspiration #stephanievernibooks #writingcommunity #authors #creativity #inspireothers #workinprogress

FROCKTOBER | Day 15 “To feel common after a common cold is quite uncommon.” . Today, I've got a common cold. I get this same thing every year when the season changes. My head is pounding, my nose is sore from blowing it, and I've got a sore throat, but I powered through my morning classes and meeting. Can't wait to eat some comfort food. What's your favorite thing to eat when you have a good cold? . Dress from Pop Sugar,booties from @macys ... Vintage bag. . Stay well, you all...xx . . #fightovariancancer . #ootdstyle #bloggers #blogger #blog #personalstyle #casualstyle #professorstyle #style #fashion #fashionisfun #fashioninspo #whattowear #fallfashion #vintagebag #stephsscribe #ovariancancer #boots #dresses #love #ovariancancerawareness #whattoweartowork

FROCKTOBER | Day 14 I've been wanting to take Ellie to see Les Miserables for years, and today we finally made that happen. Despite sitting next to two people who showed up 25 minutes late, talked the whole way through the show, and were drunk (she spilled wine all over me), we still managed to enjoy our afternoon in Baltimore at the @hippodromebway and the show and cast were fantastic! This show never gets old and I've lost count as to just how many performances I've seen over the years. Dress is from @whbm - broke out the velvet today. . . . .. #fightovariancancer . #ootdstyle #bloggers #blogger #blog #personalstyle #boots #casualstyle #professorstyle #style #fashion #fashionisfun #fashioninspo #leopardscarf #fallfashion #stephsscribe #ovariancancer #dresses #love #ovariancancerawareness
