“Belief is a telescope that nobody taught you how to hold.” This is a line from a song I found pretty recently. Music has just always been a very important and predominant part of my life so I’m happy to continually be influenced by it. When I heard this line, it hit pretty hard for […]

Whatever it Takes
Stumbled upon a gem this morning entitled The Reality of Writing for a Living Today by Laura Drake on the Writers in the Storm blog. Good read. Little bit of an eye opener. If you’re like me and have aspirations of publication, I’d say it’s well worth your time to peruse this article, as well […]
Stargazer
So I’ve officially decided I’m gonna put Wayfinder up on the shelf and work on Stargazer for a little while. I just need to back away from it, I think. I’ve been so close to it that I’m having trouble pinpointing what’s not working. And even if I could, I’d almost certainly be too stubborn […]
Sick Boi
I have the flu. So it’s a miracle that I’m making a post at all to be honest. But it’s an even bigger miracle that I was somehow able to scrape myself out of bed to submit to the #RevPit contest. No but really, I almost slept right through the submission opening on Saturday and […]
PitMad
Yesterday was my first go at Pitch Wars. It wasn’t the most successful #PitMad but I still learned a lot from it. I spent hours stressing over condensing 78,000 words into a single tweet and, for the first time, I was very happy with how it turned out. I didn’t get the results I would’ve […]
Piecing Myself Back Together
Starting today, I’m going to try to get back on the routine before I became possessed by the desire to finish my novel. It might be a rocky transition for me to get back to MWF, but I miss writing poetry, as much as I had been writing before. I want to fully reconnect with […]
And Through the Woods…
I’m finally past the horrifying pain and emotions part! Hooray! Now onto the depressing “what is life” part! Yay! I’m really happy to see people following my progress on something that’s really just for me. Something that I can only describe until it’s completed. I got a new version of American Gods for Christmas. When […]
Down to the Wire
Okay. Let’s be honest here for a second. If I don’t finish this thing before Kingdom Hearts 3 comes out I’m pretty much doomed. I think I only lack three chapters from having the bare plot bones on the page so I think it’s doable. I’m just getting sorta anxious that it’s almost over if […]
Return of the Mack
Here’s my obligatory “everything is going great” post: Everything is going great. But no really, it is. For a long time, I’ve had a hard time finding the distinction between work and play because the “work” that I’d prefer to be doing could also be considered play. And because that play can also be considered […]
Silver Lining
Things are still going smoothly! I think I’m just gonna cut back to Mondays and Fridays until I’ve finished. It was totally by accident that I skipped Wednesday two weeks in a row but it actually turned out to be beneficial. I’m so focused on the novel that I haven’t really had time for good […]
