Kameron Is Creating

August 1, 2026

I’ve been trying to get better about believing in myself. There are lots of areas in my life where I feel like I have it (mostly) figured out–my day job, for instance. I excel at that no problem. But this sort of stuff, the writing stuff, the stuff I care about more and that I want to be my defining quality: that stuff is harder to trust myself with.

So, believing in myself. Trusting myself to take the right steps and make the right progress to transform my life. I even did the math the other day, thanks to Jen Sincero’s You Are a Badass At Making Money. To live the life I want, I need to make $300,000 from writing and teaching writing. And that is terrifying!

But other people do that. So why can’t I?

How are you choosing to believe in yourself today?

Love and gratitude, friends.

I’ve been trying to figure out what my actual goal is with this blog. Loosely, I can say that the goal is to build an online presence. But, I don’t know that this blog really does much for me in the name of ‘gaining a following.’ The views are quite small, and I’m not necessarily putting in any work to increase visibility–my blogs are really short, and I’m not bothering with things like SEO.

So, why am I doing this? (also, why do I use the word ‘so’ so much? are y’all as sick of that as I am?)

I guess my goal, a little bit, is just to prove I can. And a little bit, it’s to remind myself that no matter what is happening with my day-to-day or my novel or the news, I’m still a writer. Even if all I write in a day is a little blog post.

Love and gratitude.

Ok. This is getting hard.

Every now and then, I get caught between this feeling of ‘these blogs aren’t good enough for you to post’ and ‘if you quit posting you’re a failure.’ Which are very serious extremes! So I’m trying to help find myself something a little more in the middle of those two feelings to keep me going.

So for one thing, who cares if this isn’t ‘good enough’? I’m posting it for free. The world does not end if a stranger on the internet thinks my posts are lame, because they kind of are. But I’m doing it anyway.

But also, if I do happen to miss a day, that doesn’t mean I’m failing. It would only be failing if I didn’t start again.

And that’s that. I’m doing this, despite what the little voices in my head keep saying.

What are you doing despite being afraid?

I know I’ve mentioned Ellipsus before, but I’m mentioning it again because I love it!

Up until this point, I’ve alternated between using Pages (which is a word processor for Macs) and Google Docs, which I think is common for a lot of folks. But of course, all this AI stuff has made Google Docs feel a tad uncomfortable–they’re definitely using our docs to train AI, and that sort of feels like something I should be able to opt out of!

In full honest, I don’t just universally hate gen-AI. I’ve actually found that it can be useful for quick pep talks for when I get stressed at work (though I’d like to point out very clearly that I’m not using OpenAI for that, I’m using Silk + Sonder’s AI-assisted coach). So I’m not just saying ‘boo AI’ without really thinking about it. I’m mostly saying boo-plagiarism, actually–the AI I use for life coaching is very open about the resources it pulls from to help me.

This is where Ellipsus comes in. They promise not to use your writing to train AI (or, as I’d put it, they promise not to plagiarize your work), and while I haven’t explored these yet, I know they have excellent collaborative features.

Let me know if you decide to give Ellipsus a try! And please, if you have a different word processor you like, share it with me!

Love and gratitude, as always.

Still running short, but at least I’m here!

I’ve never been very good and trying to do something every day. The minute I hit a road bump or miss a day, I tend to get so disheartened that I just give the whole thing. And I’ve done that enough times that I think I started to believe I just wasn’t capable of doing something like this every day.

But, look at me go! I’m doing it! So, I’m choosing to believe in myself and this blog, wherever it takes me.

Love and gratitude, friends.

Short one today, y’all. But, the good news it, the rough draft of my lit mag guide is officially done! I’ll have it out (along with another free goodie!) next month.

Plus, I added a ‘Librarianship’ section to my website–check it out here.

Love and gratitude.

Are you stuck on a project? Looking for ways to infuse a little more creativity into your life or set better goals for yourself?

Right now, I’m trying to help people by providing that info in my free newsletter, BUT I’m also developing a one-to-one writing mentorship offering. So for now, check out some of what I’ve been sharing on my newsletter, and keep an eye out for some new product launches.

Much love and gratitude.

When I tell people I’m a writer, one of the most common responses I get is ‘I could never do that, I don’t like to write. It’s too hard.’ And I always end up in this weird spot, because I’m thinking, yes? Writing is super hard! I don’t really like to do it either!

Of course, that’s sort of a broad generalization–sometimes, I love writing. Sometimes, it’s my favorite thing to do. But I can say that about lots of things that I also don’t like and find very hard at other times–like going to the gym, or researching community partners, or driving. All things I love to do, mostly, but also kind of hate depending on the day, because it’s tedious or difficult or I’m just ‘not in the mood.’

Today, I really did not want to sit down and write this blog. But I did it anyway, despite kind of hating. So if your relationship to your creativity, or your job, or whatever else, is complicated, just embrace it. Things we love can sometimes suck.

Love and gratitude, as always.

Ok folks, bear with me on this one, because this anecdote has a weird start.

In a recent episode of Rick and Morty, they visit an alien beer garden, and Rick says something along the lines of ‘there’s not a genocide in sight, what could be better than this?’

And it’s very easy to sort of right that off as a Nazi joke, but also. It definitely implies our current genocides, right? The first one that comes to mind is Palestine, of course, but I think it’s also worth pointing out that society is well on the path to executing a genocide against trans people, as well.

This joke sent me into a little bit of a spiral, one that had been brewing for a bit. I’ve been living with a significant amount of cognitive dissonance–things in my life are going real well and seem to be improving, meanwhile everything else in the world is falling apart. So I cried a lot, and I hated it because I got super stuffed up, but I did end up feeling better. Trying to ignore how guilty I was feeling for things going so well for me personally was eating me up.

Is there a feeling you’ve been putting off having? If so, I encourage you to find some space to let yourself just feel it.

Love and gratitude.

Do you ever surprise yourself with what you find inspiring?

For me this week, hilariously, the thing I have been listening to the most while writing is a playlist of all the Mets walk-up songs. As in, the songs that the baseball players walk out to whenever they’re up to bat or pitch. I’ve become a Mets fan this year, and in an effort to track down Carson Benge’s original walk-up song, my partner found Apple’s playlist of all the songs.

It’s kind of a weird mix, but I think that’s why it works for me.

What surprising thing has been feeding your creativity recently? Let me know!

Love and gratitude, friends.
