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 …

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 …

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 …
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 …
Here's something to think about. I came up with a random five word story in my head this morning. And then I came up with another one. But... they're both the same. Okay, let me just tell them, so you get what I'm saying. Story number one... "One last time!" he cried. And bachelor number …
If you can't guess it already, I watched Sex and the City again today... so, now my next 24 hours are going to be in Carrie Bradshaw mindset. Anyway, I got to thinking... and this question just randomly came to me. What defines something as a 'real problem'? Okay... have you ever tried to vent …

Okay, so I don't know what or why it is, but watching either the History Channel or Net Geo always makes me have these oddly deep thoughts and/or gives me inspiration for writing when I have none. Again, I don't get why, it's probably just a me-thing, but it never fails me. And so... today, …
...or is there even one at all? (And, heads up now, I'll be asking a lot more questions than probably answering in this post because I watched Sex and the City this morning and I'm still kind of in the same mindset as Carrie Bradshaw right now.) First of all, let me describe the extent …

And not in the 'it makes you smarter' or 'it improves your use of language' kind of sense. Because we all know that's obviously true. What I wanna focus on, though... is more or less how writing/being a writer, specifically with fiction writing, changes the way you think when it comes to... killing people. Don't …
Here's something to think about; it got me thinking, at least. Why do writers write? I don't know why, but this question just sort of came to me today... and now I can't stop thinking about. I mean, even when I ask myself why I write, I have to stop and think about it for a …
