I’ve been working on a personal and extremely important mental health piece for nearly two months. As I was writing the end and editing the deeply personal parts, I felt stuck. I’m rarely ever stuck as a writer. I think the problem is, I’m trying to edit out the harshness and the absolute truth to … Continue reading How The Hell Do You Edit The Truth?

I’m never certain, but it grates on my nerves. The majority of my family looks down upon me with much disdain because I’m “a writer”. I’ve never understood, nor will … Continue reading Motivation

I gave her multiple opportunities to "get it right" before she did, but I didn't start working until she paid in full. Call me crazy, but … Continue reading Do You Remember?

In an ideal world, I'd be able to curl up this weekend and not have to face anything until next weekend. No, I'm not delusional, I've just had enough. I am sitting … Continue reading This Week Is Over
