Storybooks

I am a book person. There are so many types of books in the world. Genres, lengths, for kids, for adults, and they can seriously be just about anything. Some books are too much alike and they blend in, and no one really pays them too much attention. Sure, they may sell a couple thousand … Continue reading →

Writer or Editor?

So I was recently bestowed with a beta read of a new author’s book and was super stoked! I haven’t had the opportunity to critique anyone’s writing in a very very very long time. Naturally, I took my time, ensuring that I picked up on all the grammar issues, any plot issues, characterization and the … Continue reading →

Acceptance.

I am slowly coming to terms with something that is very hard for me to accept. A week ago today, I lost something very dear to me. I thought I could find it, but after searching and searching and searching, I am at a place of acceptance that searching is no longer necessary. About seventeen … Continue reading →

Permanent

Well, the last time I was here, I was talking about my story I was going to write for my Short Story class. I was struggling to come up with an idea for my story and bam! Hit me like a train. Not that I would like to be hit by a train…tangent for another … Continue reading →

Not A Hero

When It’s Too Late to Take Ambien and Insomnia Strikes

The title says it all. Turns out I am wide awake and it is nearing two in the morning. The bad news? You can’t take Ambien unless you’re planning on getting at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep…and I have to wake up in 4 to 5 hours. The good news? Well, it’s not … Continue reading →

Agh! I Fail

Whelp. In spite of telling myself that I was going to take a picture of myself daily and also do life once a day through photos, I completely let it slip my mind and haven’t taken a photo daily of either. I think that’s a new record. Ha. In spite of the failure, I will … Continue reading →

Life Once A Day

In the past, I have made commitments to take a picture of something, anything, every day for three-hundred and sixty-five days. Usually around month four, I forget about it and abandon the project. But, I am here to say that I am going to give it another go. I won’t post the progress on here, … Continue reading →

Why Good Titles Are Important

In honor of me having to turn a Shakespeare paper in pretty soon, along with turning in several different papers by the end of the semester, I am going to stress the importance of a good title and why “Untitled” or “No Title” or no indication that you haven’t come up with a title is … Continue reading →

Sick

So, I am partially blaming my lack of an update from being sick. As you may have read in previous blog posts, I have Crohn’s Disease and Superior Vena Cava Syndrome. Currently, my Crohn’s Disease is out of remission, meaning that I have a lot of crappy days (pun one-hundred percent intentional). Tomorrow it will … Continue reading →
