And so I did. This poem was yet another one made for that good ol' creative writing class, and the prompt goes... well, craft a cliché poem! Specifically, I was asked to come up with a long list of clichés and then put them together in "fresh, surprising, unexpected ways". Here's what I came up …
What I believe The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is (maybe) teaching me about writing
AND WHAT I NEED TO TELL YOU ABOUT IT. If you haven't seen or, dare I even say... heard of her yet, where have you been? It seems anymore that all I do is read my magazines, blow my nose, and watch the stuff that my magazines tell me to watch. Miraculously, one of my …

I wrote another poem.
(For my creative writing class.) So, for my first big writing project in my new writing class, I had to answer 3 poetry prompts with... well, 3 original poems. My favorite, I think, is this one... the second one. And the prompt for it was, generally, something like this... Write a poem that is a …
Emma Lenford updates for those who have been searching for them…
Whoever that is that's searching, I don't know, but I'd like to think at least someone is curious... So, I'm just immediately going to say this- I don't have super grand news. Please don't grab your torch and pitchforks. Now, I published the first book in my (new-ish) Emma Lenford series almost a year ago, …

(My kind of) An ode to snow
Oh, snow. Thank you for blanketing my Pontiac with nine inches last night. I will shovel you off tomorrow. Or the next day. Or, actually, who cares, because you won't get off the roads for anyone for the rest of the week anyway. Thank you for giving me the chance to paint my sister's toenails. …
Don’t tell me I’m lucky.
Alright, so here's my rant of the day/week/month/year. So, I'm taking that creative writing class now, right? Well, first thing of the class, our teacher writes a long introductory letter, and then we have to read the introductions from two different textbooks, and this is what really stood out to me in all three... "Only …
FINALLY… I am taking creative writing.
As a college-level class, that is. Yep, it's about time I started to actually learn about the "craft" of writing. I mean, not that I don't already get it... because I clearly do, but it just seems like, logical, I guess, that I take every opportunity I get to be gifted with when it comes …
Reading Red, part 5.
THIS IS IT... THE FINAL PART. After part 1, part 2, part 3, and part 4... it has come time to either kill off or save our main character of Red, Anna. This has honestly been a great journey and I've learned a lot in making these audio readings for you guys, so I hope …
Reading Red, part 4.
AHH! It's getting (even more) intense!!! What's going to happen to Anna next? Remember to check out parts 1, 2, and 3 first, too! And now we continue with reading my short scary story, Red. https://youtu.be/Fu5__xrtYFs Red, part 4. I screamed out and shot my eyes open. I was forced to see him standing over …
Reading Red, part 3.
Welcome back, people. Ready for another round of spine-tingling horror? I sure am, let's keep this train rollin'. Oh, and here's part 2 and 1 if you think you missed anything! https://youtu.be/JF7QzUx12a4 Red, Part 3. My cries had softened by now and I could begin to hear him shuffle around my side once more. “You know,” …
