#SATurday Author Goals About a week ago, my publisher—Clean Teen Publishing—went to Book Expo of America (#BEA15) to share our novels with the world. Awesome, right? I almost jumped out of my computer chair at the sight (and I rarely leave that chair, considering I’m a writer ::wink::) After that, I basically stalked their LIVE… Continue reading #SATurday Author Goals

#WW I Avoided Certain Books. Here’s Why.
#WW I Avoided Certain Books. Here’s Why. Right now, I’m basically reading all the novels I’ve avoided over the past year or so. Why did I avoid these reads? I can honestly just guess—since it’s difficult to remember—but I thought it’d make for an interesting topic. The first novel I picked up was The 5th… Continue reading #WW I Avoided Certain Books. Here’s Why.
May’s Ketchup
May’s Ketchup Can you believe it? Another month has flown by. And it’s still raining here in Missouri. Almost constantly. It’s actually rather unusual weather for us (to this degree), and I’m starting to wonder why I tend to begin these with a weather report. (I have no idea, but I enjoy it.)

#SATurday: The Lightning Lesson
#SATurday The Lightning Lesson When I was little, part of my bedtime routine was taking a shower at night. But—as my mother would have it—we had one very important rule. No showering if there was a thunderstorm outside. She told us we’d be electrocuted if we did. Now, being little and a future artist, you should… Continue reading #SATurday: The Lightning Lesson
#MondayBlogs: My Issues With Literature
Intro: From 2009 to 2013, I studied English at the University of Kansas, and during that time, I had to decide whether or not my focus would be on literature or on creative writing. I fought with my adviser over this for my first semester. He wanted me to pursue literature; I wanted to hone… Continue reading #MondayBlogs: My Issues With Literature

#WW Writer Problems 6-10
#WW Writer Problems 6-10 We like to believe that writing is all fun and games (and the worst thing that can happen is battling a thesaurus.) But writing is so much more than that, and because of all the work that goes on behind the scenes, writing often consumes the writer entirely. It lurks in… Continue reading #WW Writer Problems 6-10
#WW Love Triangles
#WW: Love Triangles Opening note: I’m trying to create more YouTube videos, and this is one of my first ones where I discuss a fiction opinion over my channel, Coffee & Cats. I’m more comfortable writing my thoughts because I feel like I can express more, so I am trying this format: an article that… Continue reading #WW Love Triangles
