Normally, this day is reserved for “Website Wonders.” But I have made an exception. You can expect February’s Website Wonders next time, but I hope you will read what I have to… Continue reading You Have Committed Copyright Infringement
Help: I’ve Returned to an Old Piece of Writing, and I Can See Influences From My Past
Recently, I have truly enjoyed writing up my personal posts instead of focusing on writing or publishing tips. Sharing my story opened up a channel for me to hear your stories, and it was really nice getting to know more of you on a deeper level.

One of my “Lows” as an Author
Today I wanted to talk about something many artists--no matter what kind of art they practice--struggle with: lows. We have them sometimes as often as we have "highs." When I say "highs" I am talking about those moments where you feel on top of the world, like you've accomplished everything you've ever dreamed of, and… Continue reading One of my “Lows” as an Author
Through Jessica’s Eyes
