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…
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…
As some of you know, I recently completed the first book in my novella series Mysticus. I'm currently waiting on my beta reader's critiques, and from there I'll be querying my chosen list of agents.

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…
This is the prologue for a fantasy/romance novella I'm writing. Recently I've found it hard to stick to one project- okay, I've always been this way- so some opinions might be nice. I need motivation! Enjoy 🙂 Prologue Randall had never felt so drawn to a human as he did when he first…
Hello readers! I hope you had a very merry Christmas. Can you believe that it's almost 2019 already? I'll be doing a post on New Years Resolutions/ Goals on the 31st. Today I started writing a novel that I've decided to call 'Myth.' This is only a synopsis, and I've decided to only give this…
