I decided to dabble with painting. I mean, why not? So, yesterday I went ahead and started on a piece of work I now call VOICES. The background of VOICES is that it's inspired from a recurring dream/nightmare. The nightmare is me in a chair in a dark room. There is no light, just complete… Continue reading Voices
Mistress Mary is quite contrary until she helps her garden grow. Along the way, she manages to cure her sickly cousin Colin, who is every bit as imperious as she. These two are sullen little peas in a pod, closed up in a gloomy old manor on the Yorkshire moors of England, until a locked-up… Continue reading Book Eight of 2013: THE SECRET GARDEN by Frances Hodgson Burnett
If you are reading my reviews, you can probably see a trend in what I read the most. Yep, I read a lot of Young Adult Paranormal fiction. It might be because that's the field I want to write in, but let's be honest, it can sometimes be tiring not reading something else. And so,… Continue reading Something Fun and New
Every now and then I feel the urge to clean. I hate a cluttered workspace and for the most part a cluttered home (which is funny because I was always a messy person at my mom's house and then my dad's). Today happened to be one of those cleaning days. The object of my obsession?… Continue reading It’s Absolutely Amazing
So, for a while now I have been toiling in my mind trying to resuscitate a short story that was butchered and sewn back together into this absolute abomination I could never claim as my own. Seriously, I felt like I took all the advice from people and meshed it into this Frankenstory. It sucks.… Continue reading A 60 Second Thought
So, I follow NaNoWriMo on Facebook and they posted a little writing prompt today. Naturally, I felt like writing something. Here it is: Today's writing prompt: write a paragraph of the very first thing that comes to your mind. No pausing to think, no perfect crafting, just write. One paragraph. Go. One paragraph? Just one?… Continue reading Random 60 Seconds
A witty, honest, and hugely entertaining story for anyone who loves books, or has a difficult mother. And, let's face it, that's practically everybody . . . On paper, Arabella Hicks seems more than qualified to teach her fiction class on the Upper West Side: she's a writer herself; she's passionate about books; she's even named… Continue reading Book Seven of 2013: THE FICTION CLASS by Susan Breen
I'm actually finding this very enjoyable! Even though I haven't gone through the book as fast as I usually do, I have gotten a lot of inspiration from the assignments. Sadly, I'm not too sure about how I actually feel about the book. I am almost done though (111 pages left to read and then… Continue reading Assignment 6
Like I said before, I doubted I was going to stick with the order of assignments. Anyway, here's assignment 5! (And there really is a place, but I'm not sure if it's been destroyed or not. It was near a large intersection and in the middle of my neighborhood at the time. I'm sure it's… Continue reading Assignment 5
In case you are wondering, I don't know if I will do every assignment in the book I'm reading. Some of them don't spark me with interest and others would take too long a time to write. Besides, I've never really finished every single assignment in my fiction class in college. Not that that's a… Continue reading To write or not to write
