When we see someone else enduring terrible misfortune, we tend to laugh. Really, everybody does it--whether we like to admit it or not--and it's just human nature. But... have you ever wondered why? Well, I have, so I took to actually researching it. Because, yes, I like to research the psychology of laughter in my …

Am I writing too fast?
Normally, I can't get myself to sit still long enough to write 100 words at a time. Now, though, I'm churning out 10x that (you can do the math for me) with no problem. It's great, really, and I love that I'm now making progress on my next novel... but now I'm afraid I'm just …
Todotodotodotodo
To do—not todo. You know, not like the "idiot intern" on iCarly once said... Pulled from icarly.fandom.com Ah, I still love a good iCarly reference, no matter how far from the "iKari" days this blog gets... But, seriously, it seems like I see "todo" lists everywhere these days. Mentally, that is, for the most part... …
Is consistency really key?
It could be. Hi guys, and welcome back to our lovely little blogging space here! Today I have one question to pose because it's the only thing I could get to come to mind when I realized I was (ironically) late once again in writing my weekly posts-- Is consistency really key? So, I've been …
Am I leaving TV behind?
Hey, guys! Might I say that this new website is looking... oh-so-new-and-clean-and-fresh? Anyway, let's get right to today's blog "topic". So, recently, I've noticed a type of... lifestyle change, I guess, in my own... well, life. I don't watch TV anymore. Not, like, not at all... but almost like not at all. I guess I …
Do our moods dictate our writing?
I'm noticing a pattern. For example, I actually don't feel like writing this blog post right now. But I'm still doing it. But maybe it won't turn out as amazing as I actually planned. I'll admit it, I've actually felt really out of the writing mood lately. Things have been busy. I've been sleepy. I …
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 …
Did you used to have an imaginary friend?
I have an interesting food-for-thought kind of post to share today, and it involves childhood imaginary friends. (This show used to be the bomb, too.) So, I had a few imaginary friends when I was a kid. The first I had before I can even remember much of anything, and I only know she once …
HOW MANY WAYS CAN ONE EAT RAVIOLI?
You read correctly! So, I was sitting at the kitchen bar (which was covered in unopened junk mail, used coffee cups, and God knows how many crumbs and leftover food particles), eating a good old fashioned can of ravioli made by Mr. Chef Boyardee himself (yeah, right...), and... then I got to thinking, how many …
Perfection: Poems vs. Stories
Here's something to think a bit about. The words of your poems are perfect before you physically write them; those of your stories are perfected after they've been written. Yes, I came up with that... haha. But, seriously, think about it. When you decide to sit down and write a poem (or rather don't decide …
