This week was the week of the blood moon. Now, my mom and sisters follow all that, but I looked it up and saw that it is also the time to release things that serve no purpose to you. It goes like this "If you are clinging onto someone or something that you know is … Continue reading Letting Go and Releasing Things

On Account of My Sheer Stupidity
At this point, how dumb can you get?
Let’s Talk About Ghosts, Man.
I’ve had an idea for a ghost story in my head for a year or so now. Then, I sprained my wrist and became a hunt and peck typist., of which I am not. Thus, it became hard to type forever.

Borderlands Boot Camp

I decided to write a novel for my Nanowrimo. I wanted to incorporate witches and magic into my novel. A few of my friends said that I needed to have a magic system. Not just magic but an entire, functioning magic system. I freaked out fully. I decided to abandon my project. All the work … Continue reading Go With Your Gut
Let Me Tell You About the Literary Festival
I had a reading at the Cleveland Drafts Festival. It was over Columbus Day weekend. I had fun and really enjoyed it. I heard other writers and poets read their work in the Larchmere area of Cleveland. (Larchmere isn't a suburb-it's more like a small section of the city with a name) The venues were … Continue reading Let Me Tell You About the Literary Festival
My Weekend at #EWF19 (part 1)
I was chosen to be a Fellow at the Emerging Writers Festival this past weekend. It was sponsored by Old Town Books in Old Town Alexandria, VA.
