  • Becoming a Published Author-Day 3

    I am hopeful.                   We are at midweek (happy hump day y’all). It’s the first week of July. And I know I will hit 50k by Sunday.                   To say I’m a bit floored is an understatement.                   For a… Continue reading

  • Becoming a Published Author-Day Two

                      It’s official. I have officially written the most I ever have on one project. I have officially written more in my epic fantasy then I need to write to actually finish it.                   And man does that feel good.… Continue reading

    I am currently working on my (hopefully) debut novel. It’s an epic fantasy with beautiful world building. I’m doing so by pulling from a range of mythologies to create what I hope will be a diverse and unique landscape. With… Continue reading

  • The Publishing Industry

    If you’re like me, you grew up only knowing about the traditional side of publishing. Self-publishing wasn’t as widely known and certainly not as easy for the average person to break into. Now it seems self-publishing is a strong contender… Continue reading

  • The Blog for New Writers

    I started writing when I was 11 years old but I only recently started pursuing it as a viable career option. I’ve found myself frequently beating myself up for the 17 years I wasted (although I did send in the… Continue reading

  • The Post Where I Gush About “Almost” Making Someone Cry

    If you’re a writer like me than you know how good of a feeling you get when you’ve successfully made someone feel something by reading your work. And if you’re a reader like me than you know how much you… Continue reading
