Okay, you guys. This is where I eat my words. This is where I eat my words and must apologize about what I said about losing my love for New York City. But let me start at the beginning so it all makes sense. . . When I was in college, I thought I'd graduate and move to New York. I wanted to live in The Big Apple and see where it took me. Those plans were derailed by some life experiences, but namely because I fell in love with working in baseball for the Baltimore Orioles. That job changed the trajectory of my life—all in good ways. I never took college too seriously during my freshman year. Then, in my sophomore year, I got the job the with Orioles. I became a great student, learned to balance my time, and worked hard both at the job and in school. It was, as we like to say in Baltimore, Orioles Magic. . . I met my husband at work, and we dated for a few years. Our love of music, traveling, baseball and family linked us together. He proposed to me on a trip to New York City, because we both loved the city so much and loved going there for long weekends. That, my friends, was New York City Magic. . . Raising kids, working several jobs over the years, going back to school for an MFA, and writing on the side—I think now that all these things just made me a little tired, and I looked at trips to New York as more of a drudgery as opposed to something that was fun. Then, last weekend happened. Being able to take our daughter to New York City amidst all the lights and holiday feels, and doing all the things WE loved to do, made it that much more special. We all had a great time, and it was one of the best weekend trips we've taken to NYC. . . And so, as I was moaning about going before we left, I'm now humbly asking the City to accept my apology. I am, in fact, still in love with NYC. And I'm excited to talk about TRAVEL WRITING at today's ARTS ALIVE! event on campus. Travel truly does have the power to change us. . . I am living proof of that several times over. . . . #writing #travelwriting #author #newyorkcity #newyork #thebigapple #newyorkcitymagic #oriolesmagic #orioles #baltimoreorioles #lifeinbaseball #college #travel #travelwriting #traveler #blogger

Celebrating National Novel Writing Month and reminding writers everywhere that you can make a lot of progress in November. Last year my goal was to hit 50,000 words on my novel during the month. I came up short by 7,000 words, but still finished and published the book before this year’s #NaNoWriMo at almost 96,000 words. If I can do it, so can you. Writers rock! #writerssupportingwriters . . . #amediting #creativity #fiction #blogging #blog #writingislife #stephsscribe #indieauthorwriting #writers #books #storytelling #writingcommunity #amwriting #amreading #authors #authorloop #writerloop #readers #booklover #authors #awritechristmas #authorssupportingauthors

I can’t even begin to tell you how much happiness this gives me. Honestly, I am so thankful for my sweet readers. Swipe to see the message I was sent earlier about Little Milestones today. It made my day, and it reminds me of why I do what I do even though sometimes I want to rip my hair out! 😜 If you’re participating in #NaNoWriMo, keep going! You can do it! And I actually curled my hair for once. Lol. . . . #professor #writing #writers #littlemilestones #books #novels #writingcommunity #amwriting #amreading #authors #authorloop #writerloop #readers #booklover #awritechristmas #authorssupportingauthors #creativity #innovation #blogging #blogger #writingbooks #stephsscribe

We got engaged in New York...and we spent that day long ago in Central Park, then we shopped and dined at One If By Land, Two If By Sea, where Anthony proposed. This weekend, we spent time doing things we love with our daughter. It was wonderful to make new memories with her. Sharing my last batch of photos of New York at this special time of year. . . Who else loves The Big Apple? Which time of year do you enjoy the city the most? . . . #ilovenewyork #fashion #style #personalstyle #newyorkinautumn #professorstyle #professor #writing #writers #newyorkcity #books #writingcommunity #amwriting #amreading #authors #awritechristmas #travel #booklover #followloop #travelblogger #creativity #innovation #blogging #blogger #stephsscribe

Another great day in NYC—I have to eat my words, my dear travel writing class. Apparently, I still do love going to New York City. Sharing scenes from Central Park, Wollman Rink, and Tiffany’s. Nothing gets you in the holiday spirit like this city! . . . . #newyorkcity #centralpark #wollmanrink #newyork #travel #travelwriting #travelblogger #nyc #manhattan #autumninnewyork #writer #author #stephsscribe . . .

I know it’s a little early, but when you score great seats to the Radio City Christmas Spectacular with the Rockettes, you can just move into the holiday season with giveaway Santa hats, twinkle lights, and Hallmark Christmas movies. It was a great day in New York. The only thing that could have made it better would be if @mattmverni were here with us. . . . #fashion #style #personalstyle #christmas #professorstyle #professor #writing #writers #rockefellercenter #books #dresses #writingcommunity #amwriting #amreading #authors #authorloop #writerloop #readers #booklover #radiocityrockettes #radiocitymusichall #creativity #innovation #blogging #blogger #holidayseason #stephsscribe
