Something to read as I work on my next novel.
Sadly, this post was inspired by real life events.
My friends (*cough* friend… just one) have had the unfortunate circumstance of being victim of my… not-so-subtle comments.
And all this happened before the clock struck 11am.

The art of chivalry is dying. BUT I REFUSE TO LET IT DIE.
It’s not weak to let a man be sweet to you. And you’re not a chump if you care.
Ladies like gentlemen. When a man is a gentleman, he’s immediately more handsome, more trustworthy, more respected, and more endeared. He is our prince charming, our night in shining armor, our hero.
But how do I become a gentleman, Rebekah?
I’m glad you asked, Bob. Here is your guide to being a gentleman.
I’m afraid I have reached the point in my life where writing a post on how to be mature is necessary.
I’ve seen the signs. The creative muses have cried out to me.
No, they’ve said, don’t write one more joke until you’ve spread this message of maturity. The world needs your help, Rebekah.
So here I am.
I almost called this post “Pink Eye.” Aren’t you glad I didn’t?
Dodged that bullet.
Filming Vlogmas last Christmas instilled a YouTube passion in me. With spring colors (and an easy makeup look even I can’t mess up), the time has come—*dramatic pause*—for me to conquer—*second dramatic pause*—my first makeup tutorial.
I won’t go so far as to say I am a morning person.
*family and friends explode with laugher in the background, spit flying, heads thrown back uncontrollably*
I’m not.
If being a morning person means that I’ll smile or even carry on pleasant conversation, I’m really not.

“I’m fine. Just losing my mind.”
“Oh good. I was afraid it was something serious.”
In the world of blogging/YouTube/social media, new, fresh ideas are required, and honestly expected. And at a faster pace than we can keep up with.
What’s a creative mind to do? Stare at the wall until it gives us answers?
Seeing that I’m struggling for ideas today, I was inspired to write this article to help others come up with creative material, off the seat of their pants, because—you know—deadlines are a thing, a very scary thing, and they motivate like no other.
I recently wrote “How To Stay Motivated”. It had great tips, expert advice, concise language. . .
It was basically writer’s GOLD, and I know that. I’m cursed with great writing, and it’s a burden I must live with. No one understands.
But it was too cookie-cutter of an article. We already know we should eat healthy and sleep eight hours, and we still don’t do it.
Here’s how you realistically stay motivated.
Getting motivated is hard, staying motivated is harder. Here are some things you can do (not “try,” do) to get and stay motivated!
I’m old and wise and have lived a full life of April-fools pranking.
Below are some that don’t end in a “ha-ha?”
I hope you read this before it’s too late.
