Starting off 2020 with something wildly new! I got to be a guest on the @pfwbooks podcast this month and had a blast talking about branding. Fun things I learned: 💬 notes are a lifesaver ✨ it's okay to go with the flow 💀 the fear of dead air is a terrible thing 🥰 it's more fun if you're with a friend ⭐ hearing myself talk is weird but also sort of validating. Link to the podcast is in my bio. Give it a listen! #podcast #phoenixfictionwriters #phoenixfictionpodcast #elzakinde #homwork #lettering #dailyinspiration #dailylettering #letteringdaily #letteringchallenge #letteringoftheday #typography #handlettering #digitalart #digitallettering #letteringillustration

Double dog dare you. Question of the Day: how are your New Year's resolutions going? I feel like I've barely had a chance to start the year "right" but the things I've accomplished in the meantime have been adding up. Being ready or having a fresh starting point seems nice, but really, it's overrated. I'll take the progress over the perfect start any day. #motivation #motivationalquotes #quotes #quotestoliveby #quoteoftheday #writing #writerslife #creativity #positivity #positivityquotes

Word of the Week: SEND! 💛 send a compliment to an artist or author you adore ✉️ send that important request you've been holding on to 🐌 send some snail mail to a family member you haven't seen in awhile #wordoftheweek #wordnerd #fortune #fortunetelling #luckywords #luck #wordoftheday #mondaymotivation #positivity #positivityproject #positivevibes #encouragement

We're off to see the wizard! Question of the Day: What movies from your childhood frightened you? I was terrified of the child catcher from Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang. It's a surreal movie to revisit plot-wise and realizing that the character who traumatized me the most was HARDLY even in the film was a shocker. Some movies are better left was memories. Terrifying memories. #wizardofoz #thewizardofoz #frankbaum #lfrankbaum #classicbooks #booktitles #letteringinspiration #letteringoftheday #letteringbooks #letteringtitle #dailylettering #handlettering #digitallettering #letteringquotes #booklettering #typefyre #typeform #typographylove #typography

What's your favorite Ramona hyjinks? I love all the trouble the youngest Quimby girl got herself into. The chapter where she put together an ad for class was an embarrassing but hilarious moment, but my favorite has to be the toothpaste incident. 🤣 #bookblogger #bookstagram #bookphoto #bookworm #amreading #ramonaquimby #bookinterior #bookillustration #beverlycleary #mgbooks #mgreads #mglit #middlegradebooks #middlegradefiction #kidlit

How to Have Adventures From Home: 📚 read a book inside a cozy blanket fort 💛 look through old diaries, cards, or notes 🧵 learn to do something new ✨ change how your space looks 🥳 throw yourself a party for 1 #wordnerd #wordmeaning #writingprompts #writerslife #writersofinstagram #amwriting #positivity #positivevibes #positivethinking #wordoftheday #vicarious

Whale. Question of the Day: What's your favorite kind of joke? I'm a lover of all puns, dad jokes, and wordplay. It's terrible, but that's the point. #humor #jokes #pinsofinstagram #pinstagram #enamelpins #lapelpins #ootdcasual #ootdlook #ootdfashion #bluepins #pinup #pinupboy

Things that should be in every book. Question of the Day: Do you have any tattoos? #bookblogger #thingsthatshouldbeineverybook #readersofinstagram #amreading #writing #writingprompts #amwriting #writerslife

Dream bigger. Question of the Day: do you get the winter blues? I always feel sleepy, but winters make it worse! I feel like hibernating until it warms back up 🤣 #ootd #ootdfashion #ootdinspiration #ootdbloggers #ootdcasual #ootdlook #ootdlace #outfits #outfitinspo #personalstyle #enamelpins #pinstagram #pinsofinstagram #overalls #jumper #jumpsuit
