Happy International Women’s Day
Sylvia Plath I wish you were still here. “The role of a writer is not to say what we can all say, but what we are unable to say.” – Anais Nin “A well-composed book is a magic carpet on which we are wafted to a world that we cannot enter in any other way.”Continue reading “Happy International Women’s Day”
Blogging Yet?
Is writing something you’re willing to blog about? Do you have all sorts of writing tips, tricks, and ideas and have nowhere to share them?! You should totally start a blog.

Focusing your passion on your art will at least give you the starting point to something. At most, it will transform you into something new. Spring isContinue reading “Spring is Near”
Walking in Other People’s Shoes
“Hyperrealism can create an atmosphere of surrealism because nobody sees the world in such detail.” –Salman Rushdie While I cleaned the kitchen today, I played a video of Rushdie speaking to a group of Google employees about his work. I appreciate Rushdie because he writes Magical Realism, and he likes the idea of leaving charactersContinue reading “Walking in Other People’s Shoes”
