Happy Camp NaNoWriMo! The first plunge into madness for 2017 has finally begun! Hooray! I'll be honest, I'm quite a fan of the banners and icons they have for Camp this year. They even named some creatures to pertain to writing and novels. Like the infamous, abundant Plot Bunny pictured above on the banner. I'm not … Continue reading Camp Creatures And Eureka! Moments
Fated To Darkness
Plot Bunnies! Plot Bunnies Everywhere!
Every author out there knows showers and baths can be our greatest source of inspiration for new ideas or plot fixes. However, they don't always comply with the stories we want the idea or fix for.

We'll sit down to write, end up on a roll, and then four hours later remember we've forgotten to eat or missed that appointment. We … Continue reading You Know You’re An Author When…
Mission To Write
Happy Spring! The coming of Spring seems to have given me the kick in the ass I've been needing.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! On Tuesday I posted a warning to Wattpad users about the site not being as safe and secure as they claim to be. Since then it's been on my mind a lot, and not just because Wattpad refuses to do anything about my situation.
