Some of you know that I recently published an Amazon 'short read' (a story that takes only about half an hour to finish). I just got accepted as a Goodreads author, so click here to follow me! If you have read Precipice, I would really appreciate a review. If you haven't, you can get it…
Let's face it, writing is a hobby that makes us naturally susceptible to rejection. Sure, there are the writers like Jack Gilbert, who published world-renowned poetry and then disappeared for years at a time before coming out with his next piece of writing. Or writers like Walt Whitman, who stood against the boundaries set by…
As I mentioned in my last post, I've been writing a new book that I've really been enjoying. It's a middle grade, but I really think that it can be enjoyed by older people, as well. I could use feedback, so if you don't have the time (or interest) grab the closest kid and have…
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…

So... I haven't really posted in a while. I thought it was because I didn't have anything to say, but really I think that it's because I didn't know how to say it- as is often the case. I'm thinking of setting a posting schedule for myself so I don't keep putting it off, but…
So... I'm officially a published author I guess? A few days ago I was doing my schoolwork in my room (it's impossible to concentrate when I'm with all of my younger siblings), when suddenly a book idea hit me. Don't you just love when that happens? But then I realized how hard it would be…
If you didn't know, yesterday was the first the day of Camp Nanowrimo, the spring version of the National Novel Writing Month challenge. If you haven't started the challenge yet, don't worry! It's never too late to start- as long as April isn't over when you read this, of course. Without Nanowrimo, I would probably…
The lack of posting is not due to laziness (me? lazy? No way), but to a very busy schedule. I thought I'd give you all an update on my writing, which I haven't gotten to do in a while. Some of you know that I finished a novella a month or two ago. It's a…
