Hey y'all, remember when I started that poetry book on Wattpad and promised to post occasional special sneak peaks of some of my work here? Well, today's one of those days. Here's a cute little poem I like to call "Main and Eighth", being published in Holding onto Stars tomorrow! I sat down yesterday At …

How I do story descriptions
Okay, so I started this post out a sort of different route the other day... but now I'm scrapping it and reworking and rewording. Why? Well, here's the thing. Personally, I hate writing story descriptions. It's like... I have to summarize my entire 80k word novel into just a paragraph or two that makes you …
I started a POETRY BOOK!
Yes, you heard correctly! I recently started working more on my poetry writing skills.... and so, because of that, I decided to start a poetry collection book on Wattpad! And... it's called Holding onto Stars... and, you can check it right over here, if you're interested. (I made the cover myself; I think it looks …
Am I the only writer who does this?
Allow me to set the scene. You're writing (big surprise, right?), and your character is walking around her kitchen. She's thinking about something, but, since you're such an amazing author, she's also putting away the dishes at the same time (mixing thoughts and actions and dialogues). She just complained to herself about how terrible Brad …
The first story I ever wrote
Ah, a nostalgic story for a... belated throwback Thursday. And, just so you know now, I sadly do not have the physical story in my hands or anywhere... well, anywhere. I'm pretty sure the papers I actually wrote the story on got thrown away long ago. Or maybe recycled... who knows. But, anyway, I still …
Another random poem
Last night, I was at it again. Here's another random poem I randomly wrote for no reason! --- Of everything you took One thing I never understood Every word you gave I simply couldn't take One time I had a thought We were a never ending plot But then something had to change I was …
I signed up for a poetry class!!!
Yeah, that's right. I just put down my money for it and everything. I'm not really sure what to expect or what I'm exactly getting myself into (it's an online college course, just as a side note)... but, that's the exciting part! I've never really invested much time into learning about poetry, writing poetry, or …
Sometimes, the best endings are the unexpected ones
Okay, so I decided that today should be a blogging day... but I didn't know what exactly to blog about. Now, isn't that always the case? So, anyway, I opened the notepad on my phone (which is where all my story ideas and most random thoughts go) and found a note that literally just said, …

10 Writer-Relatable Jane the Virgin Moments
Hey, y'all! I've got a list for you today... And it's centered around one of my favorite TV shows... Jane the Virgin! I've always found Jane Villanueva to be a very relatable character in many aspects... but, one in particular that continuously stands out to me, has to be her author side. And, to help …

Why you need RELATABLE characters
A few days have passed since my last post (I get lazier with it every day it seems), so I was thinking today we should have a moderately lengthy, in-depth conversation about writing. Specifically, characters. And not, like, how many characters long your new hotmail password has to be... As writers, we all know how …
