In everything creative that I write, this is my goal. To draw you in and make you feel exactly what's happening, no matter how wonderful or horrifying it may be.

A Little Bit Of Everything
I'm not going to lie to you. I had some difficulty coming up with something to write about for my inspiration this week. Not because I'm not inspired. I am. However, trying to explain exactly why I'm inspired is difficult these days. It's music. I've never felt so passionately about music as I do at …
Favorite YouTuber Spotlight: Jenna Moreci
Yet another writer/vlogger I've stumbled across recently. This lady is HILARIOUS. Imagine if Jenna Marbles was a writer with a slightly darker sense of humor. That's Jenna Moreci. In addition to cracking me up, she has a ton of videos containing useful information about the entire writing process, from the actual writing of a book …
How To Weather A Rest Period
...guess what day it is? I'll wait here while you work through all of the standard hump-day jokes. No, seriously, they're funny. Are you done? It's October 11th. Nice try. The Mean Girls' reference is October 3rd. Good joke, though. It's October 11th, which means I've come to the end of my rest period before …
Good Advice Is Good Advice
Last week, I spent a lot of my down time watching Stephen King interviews on YouTube. His and his son's new book, Sleeping Beauties, just came out, and I think it was an interview about that that took me down the proverbial rabbit hole. It's no secret that good ol' Uncle Stevie is one of …
No Man Is An Island
My late father used to say something to that effect, although I'm not sure he worded it exactly like that. Which is strange because we're both what I would consider loners. We have a few close friends, but for the most part, we keep to ourselves and can be considered shy/standoffish. Along the same lines, …
Ongoing Inspiration
From the very beginning of this project, there have been little things along the way that have happened to me or around me that lead me to believe I'm meant to write this book. I'm not religious. I'm not particularly superstitious (although I do knock on wood quite often). But even I am able to …
To Edit? or To Rewrite?
Whew, I know, that was a long text pic. But for the past few weeks, I've been seriously considering doing this - essentially a rewrite - instead of the initial first round of self-editing I'd planned. It's a bit overwhelming to think of printing my manuscript out in its entirety (it's going to be 300+ …
This May Be A First
Okay, so, I know that video was a little strange. Bear with me. My music taste doesn't usually stray far from the classic rock I grew up on, the heavy metal I was exposed to in my late teens/early twenties, or the hard rock/bro rock I currently enjoy. But every once in a while, I …
Awesome Blogger/YouTuber Spotlight: Kristen Kieffer
I'm a millennial, in case you haven't figured that out. I mean, I'm writing a blog about a creative hobby. Isn't that one of the many stereotypical things a millennial does? As most creative millennials will tell you, Pinterest is amazing for organizing your creative ideas. I have Pinterest boards for many aspects of writing …
