Good evening! Or good morning or day, depending on when you are reading this. I have returned from a life changing 10-day trip to Belize (I plan on posting about my trip with some tips for this very inexpensive vacation), as well as a two-day excursion to Disneyland for my 21st birthday (WOO-HOO), and a [...]
When lost in deep emotions, people often skip to the extreme. But truth be told, humans are not extreme, we are simply in between. So why do we categorize ourselves so quick due to our feelings, or our actions, our passions and our appearance? Why must we label an entire gender, an entire race, an [...]
Hello my sweet friends! As an American, dealing with our current predicament (long past due), I have been in the process of finding proactivity in these frightening times. This humanitarian, not political, issue has set forth towards what could become a civil war or a (also long past due) revolution. Enough young people know what [...]
You know what I love about us writers? We tend to tell the same little white lie, from which we will get very defensive when caught in it. Here goes… “I’m currently writing a novel.” Said the writer for three years. 🙂 When in reality... Yea, we all know what the real “writing” you’re doing [...]
We all know what this is, what this feels like, if you haven't yet met this life shattering crisis, you will. Sorry, tis true. The writer's crisis will hit you like a 500 foot fan on the highway to hell. The dark hole you see in every word you stare at. The feverish pits of [...]
I have grown remarkably this past year. It is all thanks to the people I have met and the choices I made. At one point, I realized that my mistakes are always lessons. Therefore my mistakes, and even the mistakes of others around me, were merely pulling back some curtains to a clearer view of [...]
Genres. Ah, we all have one that we love, one that we cannot stand, one we wish we could write and one that we feel most comfortable writing. The unofficial rule of writing what you know can be bent, and it is all the time. I mean, look at fantasy novels. Even some science fiction [...]
Hello everyone! It is that wonderful time of the year when holidays take over our wallets and our hearts. Happy Holidays! And I hope that whoever is not home with their families right now, try to make a connection to them in any way possible. Send a gift, write a letter, video chat, don’t just [...]
My mind has been split lately, as are most of ours are when life pokes out its foot to trip you on your way to writing a few thousand words a day. Another large stump I have to constantly step over is my health. AHH! HEALTH! I know right? Pfft, always getting in the way. [...]
I listen to music religiously. When I hear a song about something meaningless, it’s disgusting and annoying and not worth my time. Sometimes music will help push me through the struggles of writing a novel. It is getting me through this post right now to be honest. Playing currently is “Silhouettes” by Of Monsters and Men. [...]
