To Completion

February 28, 2022February 28, 2022 by Allie Gravitt

I turned up a crazy amount of work, most of which I’d forgotten and abandoned. Some of it with good reason. Some of it deserves some attention.

Writing process transparency: My writing is garbage and also this is magnificent

February 5, 2022 by Allie Gravitt

I’m working on a novel. “Oh, your first novel!” No. Technically, this is my 3rd novel. I’ve written two previously, both of which were left to die an unceremonious death, stuff in a 3-ring binder, never to see the light of day again. This one, though, I have thought through. I love the characters. I…

The Rut

August 4, 2021August 4, 2021 by Allie Gravitt

A funny thing happens when I start to write about the things that are in my head. Articulating irrational things makes them seem, well, irrational. Irrational things don’t hold up to the clarity of text.

A snapshot into a chaotic writer’s brain

July 30, 2021July 30, 2021 by Allie Gravitt

It feels good to create. It feels good to make things, and I know myself well enough not to force a schedule or a word count. I wilt in the confines of a schedule. Every now and then I take an inventory of what’s rattling around in my head.

Expectations

April 6, 2021April 6, 2021 by Allie Gravitt

Know your purpose. Trust your purpose. Screw expectations. Even your own. Let them evolve along with you. Timelines are made up and your journey is not going to look like you thought it should.

Imposter

April 1, 2021April 2, 2021 by Allie Gravitt

If you’re looking for a way to defeat imposter syndrome, you’re looking in the wrong place. This is how I’m going to try to tackle it. I’ll let you know at the end of the month how this works out for me.

The Big Lie

March 5, 2021April 2, 2021 by Allie Gravitt

I’m Allie.  I am 37. I never had any idea what I was really going to do. But I always knew that it would involve words or music or art.  Little girls aren’t allowed to say things like that, though.  “What’s your plan B?”  “What’s your real job?” Here is a thing I know. There…

striving for honesty with poetry and prisonbreaks

March 2, 2021March 2, 2021 by Allie Gravitt

Yesterday I announced that my first book, prisonbreaks, would be released at the end of the month. It is terrifying and exciting and all the things. I don’t know what to expect. I don’t know what I’m doing. This year has been a journey. There has been a lot of beauty and growth in the…

The hardest step to take

May 14, 2020May 14, 2020 by Allie Gravitt

Some days I just feel like I’m wandering aimlessly through my life without offering anything of substance. For all of the lip service we pay to the importance of being a mother, we sure are good at making moms feel like they need to be doing something else with their lives. And yes, I believe…

Back to school and clearing headspace

June 30, 2017June 30, 2017 by Allie Gravitt

I’ve never been very good in a classroom. I don’t do schedules, organization, or focus very well. I suppose that’s the story of most ADHD people. It’s really hard to listen for an hour to ANYTHING, let alone something I’m being forced to pretend I’m interested in. I remember being a freshman in college and…
