“I think there are two types of writers, the architects and the gardeners. The architects plan everything ahead of time, like an architect building a house. They know how many rooms are going to be in the house, what kind of roof they’re going to have, where the wires are going to run, what kindContinue reading “George R.R. Martin on Types of Writers”

Magic Carpet
“A well-composed book is a magic carpet on which we are wafted to a world that we cannot enter in any other way.” – Caroline Gordon Writing is everything for me. To be honest, writing is everything for me, but that’s too vague to write about. Writing keeps me present, but it’s also a healthyContinue reading “Magic Carpet”
Our Place
*Our Place* On the edge with fish that nip and monsters that drag you so deep you can’t see the light of day.Inside black books never banned because they’re only read by a select few.Beneath the drums that lift and expose you all at once.Teeth, it’s always between themtruth,not hidden but not recognized either.Our placeContinue reading “Our Place”

I like that the my girl are around and rested and we’re not racing around after long days of school to squeeze in one more activity. I appreciate a lot about summer.Continue reading “Hot Summer”

That’s not great news but it means we are all aware these two aren’t the best option. I believe we the peopleContinue reading “Presidential Debate”
Chicken Soup
Chicken soup when I’m sick is amazing! My husband cooks it every time I’m sick and it always makes me feel better. He started off with the cookbook and now he does it in his own way. Tea and soup are my two favorite things when I’m sick. What are your go-tos when you’re feelingContinue reading “Chicken Soup”
Tech Update
I think I’ve reached a point in my rewrite stage where I’m going to need another monitor, but what really fueled this whole idea is that I also want to try some PC gaming. I like Zelda, but I also want to try some other action-adventure games. Learning to use two screens at work hasContinue reading “Tech Update”
Types of Writers
“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” -Albert Einstein There are several different types of writers. When someone says, “I’m a writer.” The first question should be, “Oh that’s awesome, there’s so many ways toContinue reading “Types of Writers”
