Writers are a very different breed of artist. We create differently. We all have different “methods to our madness”, which, in my opinion, is a good thing. I have friends from all different professional walks of life, but I am drawn to the creative, unique, and quirky. I am drawn to well thought out opinions, … Continue reading After Midnight Musings

One of the things I struggle with as a writer is friends and family reading my work. If it’s fiction, they really don’t spend a lot of time reading personal things into it, but when it’s on a platform like this? UGH! I cannot tell you how many times I have received e-mails, text messages, … Continue reading Writer Struggles: Part One

I'd love to say I'm up early and writing. The truth is, I was woken from a migraine by the smell of brewing coffee. At 12:30 a.m. Strictly speaking, the smell of coffee is really pleasant to me. I breathe deeply, it evokes memories, but when I'm sick, there is a very long list of … Continue reading Dark Clouds

I wrote something yesterday that upset someone. It might have upset more than one person, no one else said anything, but in all fairness, I did write and post it late. In reality, I know who cares about me and who doesn't. As we've established, I am not an attention seeker. If I was, the … Continue reading Addressing An Issue

Have You Ever Had A Day... We've all had days where we'd like to call into work or life "dead". For me, today is one of those days. I've reached a breaking point.

Hello lovely people. I last wrote about character death. It's not going so well. It's not so much the writing as it is my anger. Sometimes writing out your personal anger/issues is very therapeutic (not to mention, cheaper), and sometimes it is distracting to the point where you find that you spent 20 minutes organizing … Continue reading Greetings!
