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 …

“If you’re bored, then your readers are bored, too.”
Oh, a tale as old as time... Now, I'm usually on the fence or on the opposite side of it when it comes to agreeing with these "writing rules" that I stumble across on Pinterest all the time... but, I have to say, this is one I actually 98.4% agree with. If you're bored while …

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 …

Recent Wattpad Panic…
I've been tagged and told about this about a million times since last night (but not really)... So, here's what's up. Recently, it has been discovered by many Wattpad users that there is a site mirroring Wattpad itself with the intent to... spread viruses/malware, I guess, and everyone has been going absolutely insane over it. I …
Oh no…
Okay, so I've got to talk about this with someone today... and who better to discuss with than wonderful world wide web? So, I got this oddly random burst of inspiration last night... and no idea where it came from or why. Here's the... thing, I guess, though. This inspiration wasn't pushing itself towards any …
I BEAT THE BURN OUT!!!
Yes, it's official! The God-awful burn out I mentioned before is finally GONE!!! Hallelujah. Finally, the day has come where I have sat down at my laptop, opened the story I was stuck in a rut with, and written 800 words straight in one sitting without a single problem. And the next day where I …
What it’s like to write in a second language.
...for me, at least. First, though, let me give you some... context and background on my part, I guess. I'm an English-only native speaker, meaning I grew up, for the most part, only learning and knowing English. I did, however, learn a small amount of Spanish from around ages 3-5 when my older siblings taught …

Blackout Poetry?!?!
ALRIGHT SO, I must have been kept in the dark or something (haha) because I had never heard of this before... until now. Blackout poetry. "The light of the universe" by Austin Kleon, original writer credited for creating this idea. "13" by Natalie via The New York Times A... trend, I guess you could call …
Burn out.
A few years ago, my sister had this dog. It was a toy yorkie and whenever he got mad or frustrated or didn't want to go outside he would do this cute little thing where he'd scratch his claws against the carpet and do this moonwalk kind of thing. It's super hard to explain in …
