Here we go again! (nanowrimo time!!!)
I'm typing up this post in a hurry because I realized NaNoWriMo starts in seven hours (from my time zone), and I haven't said ANYTHING about it on my blog yet! Usually I have some writing tips I compile beforehand, but for some reason, that task escaped me this month, so we're just now getting … Continue reading Here we go again! (nanowrimo time!!!)

Hello, friends! I've been doing a lot of cover design lately, so I thought it would be nice to share some tips with you. If you're like me (a college kid with very little money to spare), you don't have the finances to hire a professional to make you an awesome book cover.

When Truth Offends
I'm not talking about words or characters today. Not even Tolkien. And maybe you're wondering why I'm taking a break from the usual. It's because this is important right now.

I don't have any new ideas, the Muse is mad at me 'cause I've been going to bed on time, and all my old stories are just kind of... not fresh anymore. Sometimes I … Continue reading What if My Story Takes a Lifetime to Write?
Creating Stories within a Story
When I was around five or six, just getting proficient in reading and writing, I made my own books—I crayoned the words onto paper and then drew the pictures to go along with them.

Here’s some random thoughts because #nanowrimo
This post was originally titled "Finding Success in Failure," but that sounded cheesy and I wanted to mix it up. Anyways, today is day nine of frantic noveling, also known as NaNoWriMo, and my second favorite time of the year (second only to Christmas). Today's post is three-fold: some thoughts about this new story I'm … Continue reading Here’s some random thoughts because #nanowrimo
A Peek into My Writing Process
I don’t usually talk about my writing process, because I’m worried some people may find these stories of my brain’s inner workings boring and meaningless. But this story just holds too special a place in my heart for me not to share the story of its creation. If you know me well, you know that … Continue reading A Peek into My Writing Process
Everything You Need to Know about The Conductor
In case you missed my last post, I'm publishing my first novel!!! To say I'm excited would be an understatement. Today, I'm going to be introducing you to three things: the book, myself (whom you probably already know), and the illustrator (whom you might not know). First things first: The Conductor has an official release … Continue reading Everything You Need to Know about The Conductor
So, I’m Publishing
An exciting thing is happening. I have a story that's stayed in my heart for six years now (aside from the few trusted friends I've shared it with), and now you get to read it yourself. Before you get bored with a bunch of backstory, let me show you what my book looks like, because … Continue reading So, I’m Publishing
