Obsess – Write – Edit – Don’t Stop
I have shared a few posts with you about my interests and attempts to write a graphic novel. (Check out my previous posts to learn more about it). It’s been one challenge after another. These challenges nearly convinced me to run away from it all. I mean, why should I force myself to work through …

I Love It When I Find My Drive
I'm not entirely sure how it happened, but I'm so excited it did. I have taken hold of my urge to write...again. It's funny to think I share these bits and pieces about being an author when I haven't been able to write anything out for my new novel in a long time. I have …
There’s No Excuse To Slack Off
This weekend is going to be a bit of a fun weekend for me, my husband, and our friends. We are all getting together to attend a card tournament featuring the game called Magic: The Gathering. It's fun and I enjoy playing so I'm excited to go watch them all play. I'm not going to play in …
