Movie Mention: Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters
It's phenomenal. End of story. Seriously. I saw this Sunday night, and I couldn't get over how fantastic every bit of it was.

Writing Tips: What’s On Your Desk?
As I moved the past few days, I got to reorganize and rediscover all of my old trinkets (or junk.) Surprisingly, I had a lot of fun. I thought a lot about what my characters would find while moving, and I think that's a great writing prompt to mess around with (I sure tried it… Continue reading Writing Tips: What’s On Your Desk?
