So last year, I feel like you and I, dear reader, entered a new phase of realness on This Square Peg. This is a lifestyle blog, yes, and we discussed various aspects of my life, including openly sharing with you that 2019 mostly stunk. I initially wondered if these were things I even wanted to …
[Not] Writing.
I haven't written anything creatively in a long while. Fiction is my thing, my jam. You know that. But it's been excessively hard for me to hunker and write. I have some suspicions as to why. Let's talk them over. No inspo. Like most artists, inspiration is so huge for me. I need that flow, …

Blogtober #28: Fall Mall Haul
Guess who went to the mall today... Yes, I did a tiny bit of Sunday shopping. (1) Cat eye sunnies from New York & Company (2) New lipstick and lip liner from MAC: Smoked Purple and Nightmoth, respectively.
