HAPPY NEW YEARS, EVERYONE! Every January 1, I write a post about my intentions for the new year. Today is the day! 2024 was a challenging year for me.

Writing So Far…
I'm already going back to old habits. My plan was to have a few posts on the blog so far and instead, I've been slow on that. I could blame things, but in truth, I just haven't had the energy to sit at my desk to type everything that needs to be typed. I've been… Continue reading Writing So Far…
It’s 2024! Let’s gooooo!

Likewise, some authors prefer to keep their work in the dark, stating that listing possible issues in… Continue reading The Trigger Warning Debate is Back
Me With My Family
I have always hated the idea of calling a divorced family "broken". I recognize that not every child gets a fairly calm experience when their parents divorce, but I did. I do not remember my parents ever being married. Never have I felt unloved by my mother or father. I have never felt like a… Continue reading Me With My Family
There’s More to Writing Than Pen to Paper
Writing is easily one of the most time-consuming activities a person can do. It isn't easy crafting a world. You have more than likely spent countless hours thinking of what you are going to write before even writing. There may have been times when a family member or friend calls you out on doing nothing,… Continue reading There’s More to Writing Than Pen to Paper
