At an English Major panel, I got advice for success in life-after-graduation. It was a cozy room, stuffed with English nerds. Afterwards, I got to talk with a professional author. One of the first sentences she said was, "I don't agree with what she said during the panel." She pointed towards a CEO in the … Continue reading Difference in success

Writing adverbs
“The road to hell is paved with adverbs.” - Stephen King Adverbs have become some of the most hated words in the English language, especially for writers. Although, it's hard to see how adverbs slow stories down sometimes.

Not acceptable stories
People always say writers can write whatever they want, but I doubt that's true. Some publication companies don't accept "cliché" or "unoriginal" ideas anymore, because it's harder to market just another vampire story now. Which, in turn, lowers the endless possibilities that writers can write about. Some of those outdated story plots include: Vampires Werewolves … Continue reading Not acceptable stories
Writing breaks
Overworking is easy for a writer. Writers are constantly thinking of poetic lines and/or story developments. After a while, our stories can get mixed up and everything written comes out forced.

Words becoming reality
“What I really need to know is if this sound right,” I said, highlighting a paragraph in the Word document. Ethan leaned diagonal towards my laptop. His hand stayed by his chin as he always did while thinking. “As they rounded the corner, the portal came into view.” I shuttered. It was always strange to … Continue reading Words becoming reality

For only a couple of hundred years, being relatable in writing has been the popular norm. But popular themes have their price. Now, writing about popular culture - while is good for readers - can get your piece hidden from the world in a sea of thousands of other written popular culture.

Late bloomers unite
Another friend jumps up and down while I sit chained to a seat. Just another one really. It happens so much now that I have a blurred image of how it. One friend sends numerous question marks my way, shocked she could even be accepted to win. Another jumps off the bed and runs towards … Continue reading Late bloomers unite
