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.

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.

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?

Okay, let me rephrase that: The little surprises that are not a bunch of junk mail and bills to pay that make you tilt your head in curiosity.
