Accomplishing writing goals
Oh, I've just got this amazing feeling from accomplishing a certain set writing goal and I absolutely do need the world to know it! ❤ ❤ ❤ (And, FYI, I'm still sick as a dog on caffeine... but I guess this big feeling of accomplishment makes the sinus headaches and cold sweats a little bit …
Why you need to explore genres
Both as a writer AND a reader. And, if you're wondering, when I'm talking about "genres", I'm talking about... the category of written work.

And your …

Vlog #2!
Yay, I did another vlog! These things really get addictive after you start doing them... So, this time, I decided to do a lil' poetry reading like I had mentioned previously. I chose to read aloud "The Black Art" by my personal favorite poet Anne Sexton, a poem about what it really means and feels …
