In light of some comments and thoughts expressed during #PitMad on Twitter yesterday, I wanted to share some lessons I've learned through the writing and querying process. I've seen a lot of people, not just during this recent pitching session, but in general, speaking of how discouraged they feel about their writing when they see … Continue reading Self-Evaluation of Writing

Grief ~ Prosey Thoughts
It's not proper poetry by any means, but it was some writing I did a few months ago. I know one of the most difficult things this year has been, for many of us, not being able to say goodbye like we wished to, and this, I hope, reflects that. This work is dedicated to … Continue reading Grief ~ Prosey Thoughts
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
