Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don't live to see the morning? In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the… Continue reading Book Four of 2012: THE HUNGER GAMES
You see it all the time in movies featuring authors. They are idealistic. They talk to themselves, sometimes narrating the obvious, but above all they are eccentric. What is it with movies featuring authors like this? Whatever their reason, I find this to be the truth. I love reading blogs from authors. They give you… Continue reading A Realization
As some of you may know, I have been having issues with the book I'm currently reading. For the longest time, the book wouldn't get anywhere with the story. It was bland, at times confusing, and overall a stereotypical Victorian novel. Luckily, I have gotten past the first roadblock and the story is becoming interesting.… Continue reading Finally, I’m Getting Somewhere
I am either seriously a glutton for punishment or extremely cocky. I had decided early on that the next book I'd read is a Victorian novel. Whereas I am able to read a single book in a week at most, it is the Victorian novel or classic that is always able to kick my ass.… Continue reading Reading the Victorian Novel
Today marks the first week of my little man's life. I honestly find it amazing that I was able to last this long. Never have I seen myself as a mommy and now, I don't want to see myself as anything else. This week has been a week of discovery for me. Already I know… Continue reading My Little Man

I am a personal believer in reincarnation and I am a firm believer that my past life was in the turn of the century. I love the fashion, women had curves and grace. Men were dapper and charming.… Continue reading A Person From Another Time
In 13 days, my baby's due date will be here. The real question is, is it going to be born before or after it? My mom thinks the baby will be born on the 17th and though I do want a fellow holiday baby (I'm a Valentine's baby), I just want to see my little… Continue reading An Update in Life
There is a quote out there that says: "Life is a terrible teacher, she gives the test first and the lesson after." And how true is that? From previous blog posts, I'm sure you could tell that I had experienced my first broken friendship. Really, I'm surprised that at 24 years old I haven't lost… Continue reading Understanding
And here I thought I would have to work harder and harder with little to no results for at least another two or three years. I just got word from the literary journal I sent my first short story to. And, guess what? That's right! This chica is getting published! Of course, I have to… Continue reading Getting Closer to my Dreams
