Sorry, it’s been awhile.
Sorry, it’s been awhile since I’ve written, sounds more like a start to a letter than a blog. Letters are a good insight to a persons soul though. You understand them sometimes better through a written word than a spoken one. I remember as a child I used to write letters to my cousin, brother,Continue reading “Sorry, it’s been awhile.”
Write When You Can
Writing when you can, will help with stress and anxiety. Especially when a lack of writing is part of what causes it. I love to write so when I don’t, it feels like I am missing a part of myself. So this is me taking a minute to write. My current situation with getting aContinue reading “Write When You Can”
Focus
Focus, the very word we’ve heard all our lives. Ever since we were children and our attention span was still developing. Teachers, Parents etc. were the ones to use the word to teach us to keep our mind on one task until it was complete. As an Author, the word focus is essential to havingContinue reading “Focus”

Do your characters stand tall and fight back, or let the feeling over take them? If so how long does it take forContinue reading “Defeated”
Small Talk
I was thinking a little about small talk the other day. How in everyday life we seem to come across times that we use it. However, I realized how little I use it in my writing. We usually just get to the point. I mean as writers we slightly beat around the bush a bitContinue reading “Small Talk”
Writing Love
Love…Oh the “L” word to top all “L” words. You don’t have to write a romance novel to write about love. It is included in almost every story in many different ways. Experiencing love through life can be so impact-full it can change someone forever. It can be described as love for a significant other,Continue reading “Writing Love”
To Outline or not to Outline?
So this is a very touchy topic with many Writers out there…Do you need to spend a long time laying out your whole story idea in an outline? Making sure to come up with all the plot points, settings, characters, or just a generalized idea of where to take your novel. The truth is…I don’tContinue reading “To Outline or not to Outline?”
