A Writer’s Guide: Getting Back in the Saddle After a Hiatus
Long time no see, everyone! I know, I know, I have been silent for five months. Things became hectic when I started working full time around the month I started vanishing, and I kind of lost the heart to do anything writing related due to some unfortunate let downs.

Writer of the Month: Featured by Wattpad
Welcome to October, Darklings! It's my favorite time of the year: Halloween. And no, Halloween is not just a day, it is a season. It's been quite awhile since I have posted anything, almost a month and a half truly.

Gearing Up For Camp NaNo
The Evil Day Job and writing don't always mix nicely, especially when you work in soul-sucking retail. Sometimes it seems impossible to be able to unplug from work and find time, or energy, to write once you make it home -- hopefully in one piece. And other times...it really is impossible. I am going to hate myself … Continue reading Gearing Up For Camp NaNo
