I haven't posted a poem in a while, so... here's one today! Also, I wanted to post a little earlier this morning... but, of course, my internet was all whacked out and I couldn't get around to posting until now. Still, though... this one's called "To save her", and I'll be posting it in Holding onto …
Tag: Writing!!!
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 …

Ghosts & Shadows
Hey y'all, me again with yet another poem preview from Holding onto Stars! This one's called Ghosts & Shadows and it's probably one of my faves so far... Ghosts and shadows Why won't they go?

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 …
Skepticism on “””Wattpad’s new competitor”””
Anyone here heard of Radish Fiction? Yeah, me neither. Apparently, though, Radish is the "newest competitor to Wattpad" for both online readers and writers. And, if you can't already tell, I'm not so sure I'm down with that. Anyway, though, I heard about this new thing through... actually, I don't remember now, but that doesn't …

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 …
Prompt time: What Would You Shoplift?
Hey y'all, I'm back today with... a writing prompt! From my book, of course. So, here's the prompt I randomly decided to pick out for today. What would you shoplift? It made me think of The Purge for some reason, I don't know. Anyway, here's just what I wrote 'in response'! It's eleven fifty-seven, …
