Gone But Never Forgotten
So I had no idea what to write about for this post at first. Then at work I got a slight idea on what to write, at least, until I heard some bad news... Now my heart is not in writing anything at the moment, but my commitment to not miss a post has me … Continue reading Gone But Never Forgotten
Cursed Cargo (Wednesday Words 1.27.16)
A good friend of mine, P.T. Wyant, is doing a blog post every Wednesday called Wednesday Words with a new prompt for a bit of flash fiction writing, just to get in the habit of writing something, anything. (Even if said flash fiction is complete garbage at the time. Garbage is better than nothing though, right?) If you’re … Continue reading Cursed Cargo (Wednesday Words 1.27.16)
That Nerve-Racking Moment When…
...you click the "publish" button on something new you are releasing to the world. Granted, this is only me publishing something small to Wattpad. Not anything big like a novel to Amazon or Smashwords or B&N. But in my books, hitting that little publish button is nerve-racking no matter how small or big the story … Continue reading That Nerve-Racking Moment When…

Plugging Along
So I seem to have started to find a groove. Well, a sort of groove. Half a groove. It's more like I was finally managing to cross some things off my never-ending to do list. Things that have been sitting on it for awhile. Like getting up the Short Stories page here on my blog, … Continue reading Plugging Along

One Thing at a Time, One Step at a Time
So earlier I sat down to try to work out my thoughts better on the goals I made for 2o16. I journaled it out, going into more detail on what I would need to accomplish them, and the type of time frames I could be looking at. (Seriously, journaled isn't a word according to auto-correct?

Plot Bunnies! Plot Bunnies Everywhere!
Why is it at the worst possible moments, and the most unexpected, that a new plot bunny can come raging into view and refuse to leave me alone? It's not like I don't have enough of them already. But alas, for the past few days, one has been nagging at the back of my mind, sending me little … Continue reading Plot Bunnies! Plot Bunnies Everywhere!
