What if My Story Takes a Lifetime to Write?
I haven't been writing much. Which is sad, because I love writing, but everything in my head right now is old. 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?

My Honest Review of “Beyond the Circle”
Hey, everyone! After much recovery from NaNoWriMo, I'm back to blogging. And today, I'm going to give you my honest opinion of Ted Dekker's newest adult series: it's a two-book series called "Beyond the Circle."

The Truth About Clichés
I've been thinking a lot lately about clichés. Writers are told to avoid them like the plague. They are a horribly awful very bad idea. A big no-no. Clichés are a sign of lazy writing, amateur writing, and all sorts of other writing that you'd never want to associate with. Think of the young, orphaned, … Continue reading The Truth About Clichés
A Proper Fangirl’s Guide to The 49th Mystic
I am SO VERY EXCITED FOR THIS POST. Seriously. I would say Ted Dekker was my favorite author, except I've already given that title to J.R.R. Tolkien. But, if you're a huge Ted Dekker fan like I am, I'm willing to bet you've read his latest book and LOVED it. Dekker did a lot of … Continue reading A Proper Fangirl’s Guide to The 49th Mystic

The Paradox of Free Will
Happy summer, everyone! Today I have something a bit out of the ordinary... This has very little to do with writing, but I've been thinking about it a lot lately, so I might as well share it with you all. Free will. It's the source of many debates, scholarly books, and carefully-formed opinions and worldviews. … Continue reading The Paradox of Free Will
