Good morning, and happy Valentines Day! I don't know about you, but I've always found it hard to stick with one writing project. Instead, I rotate from one project to a new project to a new project until my computer storage space is full. I did something yesterday that motivated me to stick to just…
Hello all, I've been very busy with life (writing, schoolwork, you know), so I forgot to post about a contest I entered on Teen Writers Go. It's an awesome writing website run by some of my favorite authors. They are hosting a hundred-word story contest, but submissions are now closed. I submitted a piece of…
I just started working on a Christian/Fantasy novel about angels, and I decided to give you all an excerpt. In this book, the main character (Silvis)- as well as the rest of God's host- has freewill like humans, and they are perfectly loyal to God because of their love for him. Lucifer is an exception,…
Hello everyone! I was nominated for the Liebster Awards by Sophie from 'The Girl in the White Shirt." Go check out her blog! If you haven't heard of the Liebster rewards, it's basically a chain-blogging award. I was nominated by Sophie, as were four others, so now I must continue the tradition. Here are the rules:…
Hello fellow writers, I haven't done any writing related posts in a while, so I thought you all deserve something great: A writing contest! Rules: .

As the title of this post suggests, I completed the first draft of my YA novel 'Dear Jackson.' It's only novella length right now (I was trying to get the story down quickly so I would have something to work with), but hey, it's a full storyline. I stayed up much later than I should…
Hello writers! My lack of posting recently is not due to neglect, but an inspiration spree that's lead me to write 15,000 words of a YA novel in the past four days. I plan on finishing the first draft this month and going from there. I've already picked out my dream publishing company I'd like…
Hello everyone! I haven't done a writing-related post in a while (which is what I intended my blog to be all about) so I thought I'd write about one of my favorite topics: Characters. Your characters are the most important part of your story. Forget the plot, the world and the problems for a moment.…
I was bored earlier (someone was using the computer so I couldn't type...) so I decided to practice some makeup FX and photo editing. I only did three (it takes some time to get the makeup back off) but I'm still pleased with the results. The first one is 'painted girl.' It's nothing crazy, but it…
I decided to post three more chapters of the novel I started a few months ago- or was it last month?- Captives to Confusion. See the last post for the first chapter of this heart-wrenching sci-fi (that I've decided to stop writing...). Enjoy, and comment to tell me what you think! Chapter Two The first…
