  • Aspiring Authors and Imposter Syndrome

    Imposter!  That’s what the negative voice in your head says to you any time you try to explain something about the writing profession. I have a secret for you… It will never go away.  Why? Because knowing you do not have all the answers is a healthy mindset.  If you think you know everything about…

  • Bullet journals for writers 

    So, what is this new-fangled domahicky?!?  Okay, it’s not terribly new, but I have found it to be an asset to help me with my writing, and it just may have the ability to help you out too! So, here is a picture of my personal bullet journal with my daily analog planner ( I’m…

  • Query Letters Part 1

    Ok, this first post will focus more generally on the thoughts and emotions revolving about a first time query. I will go more into depth on how to put together a Query at a later time, as that is a MASSIVE post. I started this process absolutely clueless. The closest image I can paint to…

  • Don’t Shine Too Bright

    I’m the type of person, that I don’t like to halfway do any sort of job. Therein lies my current situation. There is a glimmer of light in my hopes of becoming a full time writer. It took a lot of hard work to get here even though there is more work down the road.…

  • Beware of Wallowing

    I gave some advice earlier to not let someone wallow in the sadness of their situation. I woke up three times in an hour and realized I spent my day off in bed doing just that. That’s when it hit me. These past few days I have noticed my mood declining. Suspiciously- When I stopped…

  • I didn’t forget

    I know it seems like I have been slacking in my promise to you guys. Unfortunately, my day job requires the most out of me this week, so my posts will be spotty. Daily posts will resume next week on schedule.

  • Progress

    Ok. Query Letter Draft 1 is complete. I will let it sit for a few days until I can look at it with fresh eyes. My marriage has officially ended, and the healing can finally begin ( for both of us). All that is left is the official filing of paperwork. Only thing stopping that…

  • The Writing Flow

    I was right. Today is a good writing flow day. I just banged out three times my daily writing goal since I last posted. I live for moments like this. Those moments when attaining a writing career seems like the easiest thing in the world. Steven king writes 10k everyday. The best I have ever…

  • My Bad

    I passed out before I could remember to write a post, so today you guys are getting two. I’m still on the upswing of the roller coaster of emotions. I can feel the gears twisting and turning in the back of my head as I formulate the next book in my series. That overwhelming pressure…

  • I just want to sleep.

    I nearly forgot to write something today. My head hit the pillow and I was just about to drift off to dreamland, when that familiar judgmental voice whispered in my minds ear. I walked through my workday feeling like I was only physically there. My anxiety at an all time low, and I know why.…
