It's National Novel Writer's Month! Time to put thoughts down and hammer out the majority or entirety of a novel, right? Well, I am doing just that. I am at the halfway mark in the last book of my trilogy and I have a short story due and what better month to tackle this adventure … Continue reading How I Started NaNoWriMo in the Negative

Back From Hibernation
So, it's been months since I posted. I'd like to say I was backpacking or researching or been hammering out novels one after another. No, I've just been living life and getting caught up with it at every turn. And who wakes up and stretches their arms out all refreshed?! I'm more like this kid: … Continue reading Back From Hibernation
New Author ALERT!
Before I get to it, today marks my second WordPress anniversary! Woohoo!! Where's the confetti and cake?? And... as far as presents, I have one for you instead.

The Person in the Author
I think if you were to go to a majority of my classmates, workmates and people I have met casually along the way, you'd have no real scope as to my personality. I'm not trying to be shy or pious in any way, it's just who I am. It's who a lot of us are, … Continue reading The Person in the Author

On top of that, I have been trying to focus some free time on book sales. So, first … Continue reading Give Away & Updates
Medicine v. Cure
Writing is medicine, feedback is a cure. For me, that sums it all up. Fame isn't really a practical notion at this point, nor is it one that I desire above all others. Fortune, ... right. I'm sure there are plenty of wealthy first-time Indie authors out there. In a world of chaos, writing calms … Continue reading Medicine v. Cure
What Emotion Are You?
When you write, what emotion(s) help you out most? Are you best as a happy writer, melancholy, perhaps envious? I admit that I initially write best when I'm fresh off of any emotion. All except anger. That one always confuses my clarity until about a half day later. What pushes you into being your best?
Launch Prep
If you are a published author, recall the time before you released your first book. Whether you self-published or went through a publishing house, there must have been energy surrounding you. I draw closer with each day to my lifelong goal of releasing a story for the world to share. It's exciting and terrifying all … Continue reading Launch Prep
