Hey y'all, I'm back today with... a writing prompt! From my book, of course. So, here's the prompt I randomly decided to pick out for today. What would you shoplift? It made me think of The Purge for some reason, I don't know. Anyway, here's just what I wrote 'in response'! It's eleven fifty-seven, …
A poem preview…
Hey y'all, remember when I started that poetry book on Wattpad and promised to post occasional special sneak peaks of some of my work here? Well, today's one of those days. Here's a cute little poem I like to call "Main and Eighth", being published in Holding onto Stars tomorrow! I sat down yesterday At …
Two Black Cadillacs
Song analysis time! So, today I'm bringing you all solid proof that songs can tell solid stories. And, in honor of the CMT Awards that showed last night, Two Black Cadillacs by Carrie Underwood is my proof. Now, the lyrics for this piece are pretty straightforward and... well, they really do tell a story, so I'm …
How I do story descriptions
Okay, so I started this post out a sort of different route the other day... but now I'm scrapping it and reworking and rewording. Why? Well, here's the thing. Personally, I hate writing story descriptions. It's like... I have to summarize my entire 80k word novel into just a paragraph or two that makes you …
I started a POETRY BOOK!
Yes, you heard correctly! I recently started working more on my poetry writing skills.... and so, because of that, I decided to start a poetry collection book on Wattpad! And... it's called Holding onto Stars... and, you can check it right over here, if you're interested. (I made the cover myself; I think it looks …
The real neat blog award!
Yay, my first blog award! And thanks again to Nicolle @ Stories of a Highly Sensitive Introvert for the nomination! So, I guess I should start with the questions she's given me? Okay, so... --- What is your main inspiration as a writer? Which writers inspire you, and why do you write? Well... honestly, I …
Call me crazy, BUT…Â
I LIKE SPIDERS. ...Not, like, in an obsessive or weird way, though; just in general. But here's why! ...They bring good luck? I say that with a question because I don't exactly have huge proof or anything, but I just have that feeling that it's true. And, yes, I give you all permission to give …
Am I the only writer who does this?
Allow me to set the scene. You're writing (big surprise, right?), and your character is walking around her kitchen. She's thinking about something, but, since you're such an amazing author, she's also putting away the dishes at the same time (mixing thoughts and actions and dialogues). She just complained to herself about how terrible Brad …
The first story I ever wrote
Ah, a nostalgic story for a... belated throwback Thursday. And, just so you know now, I sadly do not have the physical story in my hands or anywhere... well, anywhere. I'm pretty sure the papers I actually wrote the story on got thrown away long ago. Or maybe recycled... who knows. But, anyway, I still …
Another random poem
Last night, I was at it again. Here's another random poem I randomly wrote for no reason! --- Of everything you took One thing I never understood Every word you gave I simply couldn't take One time I had a thought We were a never ending plot But then something had to change I was …
