As you know, I have finished my first ever first draft and decided to sit down and away from it. Finally, I have found a solution to my terrible draft. I am now rewriting it in the second draft. This is helpful, because, to be honest, I didn't know the characters well enough until I… Continue reading Planning, Playing, Praying

Going Crazy
As you may have heard, I have finished my very first draft ever. However, I am not going to mess with it until I get feedback. I'm sure not many writers work this way, but I decided to try something out. Especially since I have never had a finished first draft before. This is all… Continue reading Going Crazy
A finished first draft
For the longest time, I have started countless projects fully intending on them being finished and published. I have never finished a full novel's first draft. That is, until today. Today marks the first time I have ever finished writing the first draft of a book. Though I have many drafts left to do and… Continue reading A finished first draft
The Desire is Back!
Lately, I have been in a writing rut. I haven't had the desire to compose anything in a few days. Today though, the desire is back. I think a part of it is the fall like air outside. Fall always makes me feel renewed. Another reason may be because I have been wanting to change… Continue reading The Desire is Back!
Stuck in a Rut
You know the feeling. Truly, you do. It's when you don't think you can do anymore. You've lost all your steam, all of your confidence. You've lost your drive.

My Book Thus Far

I never finished the June NaNo and I'm still working on it right now. I estimated the book at twenty chapters. The good thing?

Changing Everything
So, I'm sure you've noticed that the blog name has changed, but the URL is the same. You have? Good. The reason for it was that I wanted a change. I wanted to make it state that this is me. Of course, that just made it look strange and now I'm wondering if I should… Continue reading Changing Everything
Random Thoughts
I've been thinking... My book "reviews" are terrible. They don't really give a lot of information. Most of it is my opinion and thoughts on the books I've read. Which is PART of a review, but really, no one really knows what I'm talking about when I type what I feel about a book. I… Continue reading Random Thoughts
Writing Soundtrack
Many authors listen to music as they write. They tend to use popular or rock music to help set the mood within them in order to write. I personally love using music to help me write. However, I also listen to audio books while writing. The funny thing is, I don't care to listen to… Continue reading Writing Soundtrack
