Almost three months ago I shared this blog post: “Free to Read” in Progress. I was super excited to share my plans. They were there and progress what guaranteed. Although, that last detail might be a little bit of a lie. I would start and stop every couple days. It was hard to settle on …

Don’t Be Afraid to Take Breaks
In my previous post I mentioned how I was working to create a free to read comic to share online. It's been slow progress, but progress nonetheless. I've been doing my best to work on writing a couple chapters each week. There have been weeks when those couple chapters turn into zero chapters. Believe it …
“Free to Read” in Progress
It’s been quite some time since I last shared any updates with my followers so I wanted to break the silence for you. I might have been silent on my blog but my keyboard has been hard at work. There has been on obvious bouncing back and forward with my ideas for my latest story …

This takes many people away from their extra activities. (Yes, I would consider my blog an extra activity). Once …

Should I Write A Graphic Novel Series Or A Traditional Novel Series?

You’re Moving Slowly, But You Better Not Stop Chasing Those Dreams!
What's the one dream you carry close to your heart? I bet you think about it almost every day. Then you continue to dream about it through the night. And sometimes you get lost in conversations because one word sends you out of this world to think about reaching said dream. I believe everyone has …

Never Forget Where You Started
I suffered from a tiny cold this past week. The sickness killed my drive to do any work with my writing or my art. I only wanted to sit around and watch Criminal Minds. (I started all the way from season 1 episode 1. You don't want to know how far I got...it's amazing how …
