February 26, 2023February 26, 2023 Allison Burton

As an aspiring writer, it’s to be expected that writing is one of my hobbies. While this is true, there are other activities I enjoy just as much and am just as passionate about. Some of them are predictable, like reading, but I think others may surprise you. Reading Since I subscribe to the age-old… Continue reading The Non-Writing Hobbies of a Writer

A New Writing Project?

January 22, 2023February 1, 2023 Allison Burton

Instead, my love for writing was more of a gradual discovery during… Continue reading My Journey to Writing
