Not Sure If Having Writerly Epiphany Or Breakdown 🤔
Read more: Not Sure If Having Writerly Epiphany Or Breakdown 🤔It’s finally happened. I have writer’s block. Okay, so I’ve been stuck like this in the past. Usually I just take a break for a few days and it’s fine. Really, this is only Day One of stuck-ness, so I shouldn’t be this concerned. But I think this time, it’s deeper than writer’s block. It’s…

Why I Stopped Hating Freelance
Read more: Why I Stopped Hating FreelanceMany of you know that I spent a good chunk of my early twenties struggling to find a decent writing job. I’d just graduated from college (Uni for non-Stateside peeps) smack dab in the middle of that financial crisis we so gently called a ‘Recession’. I remember the exact moment that I realised I…

And So Begins My Dissertation
Read more: And So Begins My DissertationAs I stare at this pile of books (you’re only seeing a fraction), I have to repeat one mantra: You are doing this in the name of creative writing. Okay, sure. I’m aggrandising this a bit. Maybe a lot. Definitely a lot. Anyway, it at least serves as a (somewhat delusional) reason to read 50+…

Okay, I’m going to blog for real this time. (Seriously!)
Read more: Okay, I’m going to blog for real this time. (Seriously!)This site has been around for a few years now, and I keep promising to post more. Clearly, that hasn’t been working. So I took my break time today to really hash out a plan for this blog. Seriously. I created a spreadsheet. My goal: Write a post every (week)day. Monday Meditations — Posts all…

Taking the Wattpad Plunge
Read more: Taking the Wattpad PlungeIt’s been two years since I first heard about Wattpad, but I’ve finally scrounged up the courage to post on it. At first, I only wanted to publish the first few chapters of “The Dreadful Demise of Miss Emma Collins” in hopes of getting some good, meaty feedback. But after getting a taste of the…

Book Review: Dream Yoga, By Andrew Holecek
Read more: Book Review: Dream Yoga, By Andrew HolecekThe other day I was scouring my local Barnes and Noble for a Voodoo ritual book (per usual?). Strangely, it isn’t as popular a religion as one might think. But just as I was about to cry out to Obatala for forsaking my current WIP, I came across a magical little tome called Dream Yoga:…

A Little Creative Experiment
Read more: A Little Creative ExperimentAnd it’s summer! I’m in the middle of rewriting “Becoming Light,” which, I have to say, has changed completely since its first draft. Emma works so much better in first person. It’s amazing how much more of her I can see in it, whereas before it seemed Ambrosius and all his manic antics stole the show.…

New Year, New Book!
Read more: New Year, New Book!So I swear this last bout of radio silence has been for a good reason: I’m working on the first draft of my next book 🙂 This one is decidedly New Adult and has a fantasy twist. Though it also, of course, involves alien planets, so I guess I should plaster on that sci-fi label…

And Now For Something Completely Different
Read more: And Now For Something Completely DifferentI finally finished my first draft of Becoming Free today! This round was much faster than previous books; Becoming Light’s first draft took almost 6 months, and The Other Side was about 8 or 9 (I was lagging a lot on that one). Becoming Free breaks the record in half with 3 months! So I…
