Adorning the Dark ~ Book Review

“Those of us who write, who sing, who paint, must remember that to a child a song may glow like a nightlight in a scary bedroom. It may be the only thing holding back the monsters. That story may be the only beautiful, true thing that makes it through all the ugliness of a little … Continue reading Adorning the Dark ~ Book Review →

Thoughts on 2020 (So Far…)

Yeah, you probably know where this is going. Or at least, have a few educated guesses. I'll be honest. 2020 has not been the worst year of my life. (For those interested, that was 2017, but that's its own story.) But 2020 hasn't been the greatest either. Some say that these problems came out of … Continue reading Thoughts on 2020 (So Far…) →

I’m Back!

Yes, this was supposed to be released a few weeks ago. *scurries to the corner* But I am back from my hiatus. I cannot guarantee (especially this month) how quickly posts will be. I have no idea if I'll do a schedule like I did as it tended to be really stressful to try and … Continue reading I’m Back! →

Hiatus Announcement

In case you're wondering, I'm doing alright. Well, maybe not, but in any case, I need to slow down things because this current schedule I've been doing is really exhausting and draining. So I'm taking a month off from blogging. Just to recharge, get new ideas, etc. Plus, who knows, maybe I will have something … Continue reading Hiatus Announcement →

Becoming a Master Puppeteer — From Writer to Published Author

Writing is a long and complicated process. Most people think that you just have to sit at a table with a notebook and pen/pencil, or a typewriter, or a laptop and just word away the hours. And then get published. But in reality, it's so much more than that. I never realized how much work … Continue reading Becoming a Master Puppeteer — From Writer to Published Author →

GENRE ~ What Christian Writers Should Be Aware Of

As Christians, we are called to glorify God in all that we say and do. As Christian writers, this calling extends into the work that we create, whether it's fiction or nonfiction. As someone who hasn't written nonfiction, I will not be discussing that branch of literature—though I'm sure it's obvious how one could … Continue reading GENRE ~ What Christian Writers Should Be Aware Of →

COVID-19 and Resurrection Sunday

If you had told me back in February or any time prior that no one would be in church on Easter Sunday, I probably would have thought it was a joke. And yet here we are, most of us under self-isolation restrictions, having to spend many of our Sundays watching a live-streamed church service. As … Continue reading COVID-19 and Resurrection Sunday →

COVID-19 — Lessons Learned

In case you're wondering, this is tied to my previous post, HOPE and COVID-19. Since that time, the lock-down has been extended to April 30th. Myself and many others have learned (or are still learning) to adjust to doing online classes for everything. My dance competitions have been cancelled. My youth rally was cancelled. My friends' … Continue reading COVID-19 — Lessons Learned →
