Taking a Break… (Hiatus Announcement)

Over five years ago, I set up this blog with the hopes of sharing my writing with the world--to have a place where I could finally let people read what I'd been working on. But after just the first few posts, it became so much more. It became a place of community--where I could interact …

I Won a Short Story Contest!

Hello everyone! Back in November 2022, a fellow blogger hosted a short story contest on her blog!

5 Year Blogiversary + Q&A for Beginner Bloggers

4 Years of Blogging!

4 years. Whoa. It's pretty crazy when I look back on it--four years of writing blog posts, interacting with readers, growing and improving in my writing. It's been a wild ride, and I wouldn't go back and erase it for the world! It has been so much fun, and so beneficial to my writing journey …

It’s Been a Long Road… (Big Changes)

December 3rd, 2017. I created my first ever blog, along with my email list. I posted my introduction post the day after, and posted my first blog post five days after that.

I’m Writing a Sci-Fi Novel??

I GOT PUBLISHED!
