Glass chains have shattered
Touch the glass wallAnd shatter it all I don’t mean toBut I’m about to explode Can’t keep me here for longUnless you want the storm too Cause the chains are goneAnd I’m tired of waiting---------For someone else’s approval Copyright © Robin LeeAnn
The storm
The storm lit up the clouds. The dark blue sky turned into a musky light gray. Lightning strikes reached from the left to the right like tree branches. But then another strike would grow out smaller, barely reaching out, after that big moment. That last strike is me. Copyright © Robin LeeAnn
Art of skimming: a skeptical bliss
Lately with my busy schedule, I've perfected a new art form: skimming. I didn't mean to. I open a book with the intent to read every single word and get the most out of it.

Does editing make me a better writer?
People suggest writers to read more, but some also suggest editing. Does editing make writers better though? Besides helping with grammar mistakes though, how does editing improve a writer's skill?

My laptop ran slow though since … Continue reading How a doctor’s appointment helped me think about marketing

Toughest of the tough
You'd think writing the novel was the hardest part. Or perhaps editing the novel was worse. But no. Queries always seem to be the hardest. They are the one thing I have never gotten a "this is amazing" from. I always get critiqued hard and have to start over again. I took a break from … Continue reading Toughest of the tough
Where story ideas come from
Some of my best ideas come from one of the strangest places: the shower. I'm not sure how or why this happens. Perhaps it's from the hot water hitting me. Or maybe blobs of creative ideas hide in our shower systems to seep into our minds. Or perhaps shampoo pushes creativeness into our heads at … Continue reading Where story ideas come from
