I saw this one over on Secret Library Book Blog and thought it'd be fun to do. Enjoy! Inside flap/Back of the book summaries: Too much info Or not enough? Most of them are enough. I like knowing a basic plot of what to expect before diving into a story unless it's from an author … Continue reading Inside and Out Book Tag

It’s time to listen
I found a powerful poem recently. In light of the world being its same brutal self, I decided to share it. It's called "Compassion Fatigue" by Ebony Stewart. It was performed in 2016, but it's even more relevant today in 2020. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeRafMKWg-Q
Writers will never run out of stories to tell
After every concert I go to, I notice more how artists are all different—unique—even if they play the same songs. For example, no one ever sings "Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay" the same way. They all put their own twists and spins on it. If you don't believe me, try it. Click on … Continue reading Writers will never run out of stories to tell
For all the writers who want to quit
Sometimes writing may feel like a waste of time. Like we're getting nowhere. Like the world is just waiting for us to crumble and fall to our knees. But we're not built for that.

She said it was good for me. After the rejections made a mountain on my desk, they … Continue reading How many rejections is too many?

Common writing mistakes #2
#2 — Vagueness for tension A novel I edited recently kept saying him and his death for about twenty pages before actually explaining who he was. Instead of feeling a sense of curiosity, I was confused. I kept wondering who he was and why he mattered. I’ve run across this type of vagueness before. Some … Continue reading Common writing mistakes #2
It’s been a while…
It's been a while since I've reminded you of something important: It's all right if you need a day off. It's okay if you feel the need to write ten pages or more. No matter what, if you are determined, you can do it. With time. Whatever your goal with writing is, it will happen. … Continue reading It’s been a while…
What to do with your not-so-great blogs
As a blogger, it’s critical to write the best posts to attract more people and keep your audience. But no one—not even the perfect blogger—can write amazing blogs every time. So, what do we do with the not-so-great ones? Do we delete them? That’d clean up the clutter, but wouldn’t that also show that we’re … Continue reading What to do with your not-so-great blogs
