An Unattainable Big Thing

March 3, 2024March 3, 2024 by Allie Gravitt

I’m approaching the halfway point of my novel. By the end of March, this little book baby that I have been living with for almost two years will be here. Then, it will be time for edits, querying, and all of the things that come next. It’s daunting and exciting, and I feel wholly unqualified….

Putting down things that aren’t mine to carry

March 11, 2022March 11, 2022 by Allie Gravitt

I’m here to admit that I don’t know what I’m supposed to be in the eyes of the world. No matter how hard I work or how much I give it is never going to be right. I’m also here to say that I’m working every single day to not care about that anymore.

When it feels like failure

December 4, 2021December 6, 2021 by Allie Gravitt

I’m really good at telling other people to give themselves grace. I’ve done so many things that mean so much more than a clean kitchen does. I know that. I understand that. There is a moment, though, where I’ve done a thousand things, but the one thing I ignored just stares me in the face and reminds me that I do not, in fact, have it together.

Foreword: Killing Ghosts

October 26, 2021December 6, 2021 by Allie Gravitt

Killing Ghosts has been a hard process. It’s never easy to put yourself out there entirely. It’s scary and hard and I’m constantly worried what people will think. Or worse, that they won’t think about it at all.

I have no idea what I’m doing

October 21, 2021December 6, 2021 by Allie Gravitt

When I was younger, I assumed that at some point I would know what I was doing. That when you got to a certain age you just…knew stuff? Now that I’m trying to write it, I’m not even sure what I thought that meant.

What it’s like putting your guts on a page

October 15, 2021October 16, 2021 by Allie Gravitt

What if you are the only one to let yourself go there? What if there’s a reason you haven’t seen other people talk about this? What if this is entirely wrong and it falls flat? What if you fall flat?

The Done List: Recording your wins

October 14, 2021February 9, 2022 by Allie Gravitt

We all have lists. The to do lists. The unending, rolling collection of things we have to do or need to do or want to do. The one that seems to get longer, no matter how many things we check off.

When your heart is broken

September 7, 2021September 8, 2021 by Allie Gravitt

Things are harder than they should be because people are messy and this is all complicated. We crash into each other and there is conflict or synergy and it’s impossible to know which you’ll find until you’ve already collided.

It’s okay to be messy.

August 26, 2021August 26, 2021 by Allie Gravitt

Pretending that you aren’t impacted by the world around you isn’t strength–it’s a lie. You are not alone, because this is all idiotically hard.

Out of Focus

August 19, 2021August 19, 2021 by Allie Gravitt

When I take a hard look at my own expectations, I realize that a lot of them are based on comparison. Specifically, comparison to people who are not me. When other people say things about their lack of productivity, my reaction would be “You are writing. You don’t have to follow anybody else’s timeline.” I would remind them of everything else they are doing. Why can I not accept that advice in the context of my own journey?
