#SATurdate: X-Men Apocalypse, Winter, Money Monster, & Banana Desserts

What I’m Writing: I’ve actually been working on the free Bad Bloods Prequel on Wattpad this week. Even though the origin stories were written a long time ago, the next few stories needed more attention than the other ones. I hope you’ve enjoyed the first three chapters—which included the origin stories of Adam, Michele, and Maggie—and you’ll… Continue reading #SATurdate: X-Men Apocalypse, Winter, Money Monster, & Banana Desserts

#WW The Truth Behind An Author’s Instagram

I have a confession. As an #authorofinstagram, I post daily pictures of my writing life that are more or less fictional stories themselves. Sure, my cats are real and that coffee was definitely mine, but not all of my posts are live (although a fair portion of them are), and the mood I describe might… Continue reading #WW The Truth Behind An Author’s Instagram
