No matter what you write about–a memory, a person, a fact–setting is always important. It defines the character, activates their emotions, and can be depicted in a way that enhances or detracts from the story. Setting has power, and someone who masterfully wields setting can make their story shine. I’ve always had a difficult time […]
In the last couple of weeks, I’ve been reading a few books (mostly romantic in nature). I made the decision to set a Goodreads reading goal for this year, so I’ve been working toward that. Let’s get into what I’ve read and how I’ve felt! *All books were read through Amazon Kindle, and all covers […]
So when it comes to writing, you’re either one of two things: a plotter or a pantser. And there are two types of stories: character-driven and plot-driven.

Over a year ago I completed the first, full-length piece of work I’ve done in a long time. It took me two years to write, and it helped me grow. When I first wrote the novella, I was in a place of anger and depression, and when I finished I was was in a place […]
Welcome to another month! I know I’m a bit late–as of writing this we are actually halfway through the month, but I realized that I didn’t tell you what I enjoyed in August. As this is a new thing, I’m trying to figure out a good format, so if there are any changes to this, […]
If you’ve been on the Internet in the last month, then you’ve seen the general, widespread excitement about Avatar: The Last Airbender (ATLA).
