I don’t know where to begin when I have come to an end. The beginning was back in 2013 when the first book was published. But was that truly the beginning or more the middle when writing a book? The first sentence of the first book starts with, “Under the ground in the land of […]
Reflections going into 2022.
December 31, 2021 by
I don’t make resolutions on New Years. I’d like to believe I am calmly walking through each day, and what needs my attention, I give it. What doesn’t, I throw to the wind. Everyday living inspires my goals, not the change of the year. But that’s just me. When it comes to the end of […]
Short Story Tips and Tricks
August 8, 2021 by
What’s the best part about writing a short story? I want to say having it accepted for publication. But that doesn’t always happen. What’s the best part of writing flash fiction? I would like to say because they are short and easy to write, but I would be lying. Just because a story is short […]

Another year goes by! 2020 will be great. #GreatBeginnings #PositiveThoughts
December 23, 2019 by
I’ve had a challenging but fabulous year! I’m very grateful to have experienced small personal progress artistically becoming a quaterfianlist in the Big Break Screenwriting Contest for my pilot script. In 2019 I accomplished another goal by finishing my Bachelor of Social Welfare. It was challenging to keep working full-time and studying at the same […]
MOVIE REVIEW #Joker
October 12, 2019 by
MOVIE REVIEW: Joker This film was surrounded in controversy right from the beginning with warnings about how dark and triggering it might be for viewers. For a moment I am going to be a realist, controversy drives intrigue, intrigue drives tickets sales, tickets sales drives opinions, and round the loop, we go. After viewing the […]
Resilience #OZComic-Con
October 1, 2019 by
Yeah, sometimes life gets rough and tough and, we tumble and fall. So, I thought it was time that we started to chat about resilience. There’s no better place then at a convention that promotes some of the most creative and inspiring industries in the artistic scene. Why? Because artists need to understand resilience in […]
What I have learned about writing #improvement #growth
July 15, 2019 by
My first book was published in 2013. That seems a long time ago now but for writing that’s not very long at all. If you add the time before that publication, there were a few blooper manuscripts. If you were to ask me how long I have been writing, I would have to say about […]
Poetry that speaks #poems #poetry

Every individual who writes poetry has their reason for writing and the motivation behind each poem. For some writers, it’s simply a pleasure to craft words into perfect positions. For other writers, there might be ethical or social issues for crafting a poem. Writers might also like the creative aspects of poetry. It might be […]
