This feels like it's been the longest week in... not my whole life, but a while. And, just so you know now, this post is going to probably turn into a rant at some point, if not all the points. Recently, guys, I've been feeling it. You know, not that it, but it. What was …

“Wattpad”… we need to talk.
Can I please just rant off the hook for a moment? So, I started this post as a draft way back in September of last year, and I just kept putting off actually writing it because... well, it's just not something I was really wanting to talk about! But, now I believe the time has …
Smashwords’ new feature
Itza map! So, guys, I quite recently noticed a new button popping up on my Smashwords dashboard... It looks a little something (or exactly like) this: And then, lo and behold, when I click it, something quite like this appears on my computerized LED screen face: And, well, look at that! A nifty lil' sales …
Inspiration… that tricky lil’ devil
It always comes at the wrong times. Or the inconvenient times. Well, maybe neither the wrong nor inconvenient times... but just not the right times. And you all know what I mean. Whether you want to admit it or not. You do. So, obviously (or maybe not, actually...), I've had this kind of burst of …
“Then eyes opened.”
So, here's what not to do when you finish up a story. I mean, like, it's a very elementary thing to do. Literally, I did this in elementary school. I came across one of my super old "short" stories that I wrote back in the day (probably circa 3rd grade), and, though the plot was …
What I’ve learned & want to share about audiobook recording so far
Wow, that was a long title, sorry. Now, I'm here to tell y'all a few little minor things about how my first audiobook recording has been going... also, surprise, I'm recording my first audiobook. So, I've been recording for about... well, it's been about two or three months now. Minus the few weeks I've gotten …

For my (and your) negative reviewers
I bought a book on how to talk the dirty speak in Russian last week. It sounds really random, but if you know me, it's not. When I brought the book home I immediately turned to chapter 7, which is all about what the kids call "talking smack" . I memorized my top 3 insults …
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 …

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 …
Some books I’ve had to read for school… and actually enjoyed.
Guys, I have confession to make, if I have not made it as of yet- I probably have, but I'm sure no one remembers and I'm also sure it'll surprise at least a few of you. I... am not... a big reader. I know, I know- boooooo. But, really, I do love writing. And clearly …
