“You were born, and with you endless possibilities―very few ever to be realized. It’s okay. Life was never about what you could do, but what you would do. ” ―Richelle E. Goodrich This year, I blinked and it was my birthday. What happened to March?! When did June end? What's that saying about how time … Continue reading Birthday

One State of Mind, and Uncontrollable Pain
There's so much I want to say, and so much I want to protect. I'll try to say what I need to, without disrupting the delicate balance between the two. Have you ever felt divinely guided in one direction, and maybe been afraid to jump? Or let me rephrase and say, were you overly cautious … Continue reading One State of Mind, and Uncontrollable Pain
Sharing
Despite having a handful of incredibly talented friends who are also writers, I don't share my process or progress with any of them. It simply doesn't come up in conversation, and I won't bring it up, except to maybe say I'm working on something new in passing. Several are maybe privately producing and not talking … Continue reading Sharing
Juggling On A New Level
I am functioning on less and less sleep these days, which screws with my day-to-day life, but seems to do wonders for my productivity. Yeah, I don't understand it either. My current WIP (work-in-progress) is at eight-four thousand words. I achieved those numbers in slightly over a full month. I put in a lot of … Continue reading Juggling On A New Level
The Art of Storytelling
Nonfiction is where I shine. When you're obscenely direct as an human-being, to the point where your honesty has been called, "intimidating" by others, you should stick with what you know and what you are solid at. Over a decade ago, I decided to test myself and began writing fiction. I think my migraines got … Continue reading The Art of Storytelling
I Can’t Believe This Needs To Be Said
It's all black spots around my vision right now. The entire week has been a struggle and a daze for me. Yes, I've shared a few things on social media this week and made sure my website was updated; but that doesn't mean I'm all right! I'll respond to people when I can. I will … Continue reading I Can’t Believe This Needs To Be Said
She Had Always Found Villains More Exciting…
“She had always found villains more exciting than heroes. They had ambition, passion. They made the stories happen. Villains didn't fear death. No, they wrapped themselves in death like suits of armor! As she inhaled the school's graveyard smell, Agatha felt her blood rush. For like all villains, death didn't scare her. It made her … Continue reading She Had Always Found Villains More Exciting…

“La tristesse durera toujours." [The sadness will last forever.] ―Vincent van Gogh The past four plus days have been a nightmare. First, I ignored a very obvious death sign. I won't explain it since most people are not believers, but it shakes me to my core. Between Thursday and Sunday, I lost three people. Two … Continue reading Three
This Is Where We Are 💔
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yz_j7nVCJJ0 Almost fifteen years later, and this song still hits me the same way. I'm surprised the lyrics aren't tattooed on my back! Today feels incredibly heavy and I don't know when that will stop.
The Traumatic Journey: Part I
I've been quiet for what seems like forever, and anyone who knows me knows I use my platform to communicate and inform; even if my subject matter isn't popular. It's likely obvious to my regular readers that I am going through some heavy shit. I am. Unfortunately, I am also numb to a lot of … Continue reading The Traumatic Journey: Part I
