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

Getting Closer to my Dreams
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
Point of View
One of the biggest and most difficult aspects to writing is the point of view. There are many different point of views that a manuscript can be written in and the method you write is important to what information the reader knows as well as the characters. I like to call this "Reader Knowledge", which… Continue reading Point of View
Writing Plans are Underway
Remember my declaration of having 3000 words written in one day? Well, I had a bought of emotional days and just did not feel up to doing anything. That's the problem with my emotions.

IDEA!
I have been so worried about the possibility of getting published that I haven't taken the time to remind myself that it's the craft that matters, not the publisher. And so, I plan to do just that. I am going to embrace my writing and just write. I don't want to think about the future… Continue reading IDEA!

Since I am a big planner kind of person, I have scoured through books and websites all about how to get published and how to keep writing. One of the biggest things is joining a writing community. The only time I ever joined… Continue reading An Online Writing Community
Day #2
Today is day two of NaNoWriMo and most people are having issues even beginning. Not a good year for some. Me? Well, I'm actually working very well right now. Almost to today's quota and probably will be able to go beyond. I'm hoping for 10000 well before Saturday. Fingers crossed.
Inspiring Webcomics
I am a bit of a webcomic nerd. I just love reading new webcomics that are free and made by freelance artists. These people aren't doing it for the money, they are doing it because they love the art they make. What's even better than their own stories, are the fans these people inspire. I… Continue reading Inspiring Webcomics
