I can't believe that I'm saying this, but after two years of working to get my YA fantasy novel Darkness Rise published, I've finally done it! You can pre-order it starting today, and it will be released on November 20th by Darkstroke Books. In the meantime, I'm looking for bloggers and YouTubers to review it,…
The Kingdom of Ink
Okay... so it's been a while. After finishing my second semester of college, I've been spending every free second I have on my many, many projects. I finished writing and editing my YA fantasy novel Darkness Rise, started taking an online archaeology course, wrote a chapter book that I'm in the middle of illustrating, sent…
The Short Movie I Was In + What I’ve Been Up To The Past Month
Long time no post! My last post was on my birthday, which was a month ago tomorrow. I've had a lot going on (I promise that's not just a lame excuse) so I haven't really had a good opportunity to even go on WordPress. First of all, I'm officially a homeschool high school graduate! I…
My Sixteenth Birthday!
As you can see by the title, I'm officially 16 today! I'm slowly realizing that as you get older, birthdays seem less magical and more like any other day. The differences are, one, everyone acts more generous and patient with you, and two (if you're turning an age like 16, 18 or 21), you have…
Beau and the Beast (Beauty and the Beast Fanfiction)
In an alternate universe, every character in Disney's 'Beauty and the Beast' has switched genders. How will this change the story?

What Kind Of Character Are You?
I started a blog just for roleplaying as our characters. Come check it out- it’s hosted by Flair!
Here’s a little quiz I made for all of us characters. People think authors do all the work, but we do all the work and they get all the credit! Why do they get their names on the front of the book, but not the very beings that hold up the walls of the story?
Sorry, sorry. I tend to rant.
So anyway, take this quiz to find out what kind of character you are. In other words, how you move the plot along and effect the story. Enjoy!
Writing Contest… No Winners?
So I must admit that I received way less entries than the last writing contest I hosted here on Writers BloK. In fact... there were no entries this time. Everyone's been a bit busy I guess, and I did have a few people tell me (both through Writers BloK and email) that they wanted to enter but…
Three Hours After Surgery
Wow. It's over. I'm back home, and I'm actually feeling great. I'm sitting on the couch with an emoji balloon suspended in the air beside me (from my Mom), a bottle of water and Panera mac&cheese on the end table, a card from my brother (and him himself sitting beside me, loudly slurping a slushi).…
