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 …

Hey guys! So, I haven't covered any writing tips in a while, and this is one I've been wanting to discuss for some time now. Now, what are character... "quirks"? And, more importantly, why should you use them? Character quirks, in my definition, are those little things that make a character unique. And, not just …
...And also stalling the ending of my next novel! ...Procrastination, yes, I know. But, hey, at least I'm doing something productive with it this time, right? Anyway... yep, I'm back at it. I'm not sure why, exactly, that I started up to poetry flow once more... but, after a solid two (or maybe three...) weeks …

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 …
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 …
