  • Why Did You Kill Me?

    Was sleeping in my bed such a crime? Am I not allowed to play with toy guns? Can I not wear a hoodie or jog down the street? Why do you kill me? What was so wrong with reaching for my registration? Can I not eat candy and walk down the street? Can I not…

  • How Sensitive is too Sensitive?

    The 21st century is both amazing and annoying, balled into one. Mainly because while some things have improved, others are just ridiculous and out of hand. Cancel culture and stuff of that nature go a little too far sometimes. It’s gotten to the point where writers get nervous to write about certain topics. I know…

  • How Do You Choose What You Absolutely Will Not Finish(DNF)?

    What makes you not finish (DNF) a book? It’s hard for me to do this. It has to be an extreme the author went to in order for me to DNF it. I mean if it’s dated, then certain terms can be ignored or forgiven, even if they bother me. If it’s something relatively new,…

  • Check Yourself, Don’t Wreck Yourself

    The problem with human nature is that we all want to be good at something, but with that comes the truest problem: When you don’t succeed or do well enough, by your own standards or those of someone else, you tend to compare yourself to others and that can and probably will be your downfall….

  • Sugar, Spice and A Whole Lot of Other Ingredients – That’s Me.

    I’m a very all-over-the-place type of person. So let me give you a quick rundown of some of the things that have led me to where I am today. I started out writing poems. Just short pieces about whatever was going through my mind at the time. Then in high school, I had the school…

  • Setting The Mood (to Read or Write)

    I’m sure I’m not alone in this, but music helps keep my brain on track. If it’s quiet, my mind runs rampant and I end up with nothing getting done. I’ve always used music as my mental lubricant. I know, I know. Some people will cringe at the thought of this, but hey can’t deny…

  • The Importance of Reviews

    You ever take a class where you have multiple assignments throughout the semester, which you always turn in on time, but never get any feedback on? Just imagine you have five assignments and throughout the entire semester you’ve been thinking you are doing good, great even, but at the end of the semester you get…

  • If You’re A Writer

    You call yourself a writer. That means you write. You don’t stop, you don’t let anyone tell you no. You write and write and write. A writer isn’t just an author. A writer is a poet. A blogger. A screenwriter. A game dialogue creator. A journalist. A writer is whatever you feel it is. There…
