Hi everyone, You might be wondering why I've been inactive on WordPress for so long. For once, I actually have a good excuse! Just over three weeks ago, I signed a publishing contract for my YA fantasy novel, Darkness Rise. Many of you (being the faithful, amazing readers you are) have heard me talk about…
If you're like me, you often wish that writing a book was MUCH faster. While I'm fairly patient in most areas of my life, writing is one of those things that easily frustrates me. Oftentimes, I'll spend a month or two working on a book, then I'll get bored and move on to the next…
Hello everyone! I'm teaching a course for young writers on Eliademy.com (a site to make money on if you have some free time and talent, by the way!), and I'm trying to spread the word. If you or anyone you know is between the ages of 8-13 and is interested in writing a book (the…
If you weren't able to watch mine and my cousin H.G Warrender's writing livestream, check it out below! Enjoy! Also, we hope to do another live stream event soon, so stay tuned! (In other words, I'll keep you posted... haha, blogging pun...) https://youtu.be/CskEi0hDAHI?list=PLiv8aI8E7V_9WG48wBkkIXYUE4vrXDrsN

We will be answering questions, and covering a few writing topics that we've chosen.…
Aren't interviews so fun? Sophie Lloyd and I decided to interview each other about writing, animals, and life in general. We have a lot in common- we're both teenage homeschoolers, bloggers, writers, and Christians. Click her name to go check out her blog, and click here to see the questions I answered on Sophie's blog!…
I'm sure you've heard the phrase 'write what you know.' I've read this phrase in nonfiction writing guides, I've seen it on multiple blogs, and I was given the tip by an author I conversed with a few years ago. But what does it mean? Once I fully understood the concept, I was able to…
I've had people ask me how I write so much. Generally, I write around 2,000 words a day, but on a good writing day I can get up to 6,000. I try to write every day, which would make my average writing week 14,000 words. According to these numbers, that would mean that I write…
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…
Anyone who's been writing for a while knows that the experience of reading changes as a writer. I've found several writing memes talking about this very thing, because it's so completely true. Don't you love seeing a writing quote or meme that makes you think 'wow, it's not just me'? For example (one of my…
