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 …
“The person who originated or gave existence to anything.”
Hey guys, welcome back! And today I'd like to discuss with y'all... what really defines an author. So, to answer this probably very vague question, I first visited my go-to info website, Wikipedia. And, here's what good ol' Wiki had to say about the definition of an author... An author is narrowly defined as the …

Someone in the world is thinking about you right now…
Well, could be thinking about you right now. ...Now, think about this. Popular, mainstream music. Even if you're not into it, it's hard to avoid hearing popular songs on the radio or in a store or on TV or... anywhere. And so, think about how many other people could be hearing that exact same song …

There’s a difference between…
Make this one of my top quotes if I miraculously become famous one day. (A gal can dream, right?) There is a difference between making a mistake and giving in to fate. Now, I'm not saying that all of our lives are run purely by destiny and we have no free will or say in …
Once Upon a Dream…
Oh, dreams. Daydreaming, deep REM sleep dreaming, dreams of becoming a famous novelist... We all have them, right? But... how often do we actually write about those dreams? Or how often... should we write about them? We all know (or at least I know) that Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series actually came to be after she …
