The question I’m left with is, “What if you enjoy your reality?” There was a time when I wrote to escape my reality. And for whereContinue reading “Art of Writing”

Lunch w/ Jayne
Tomorrow June 14 at 12:15est I was feeling a little under the weather today so I’ve been cruising social media and watching Star Wars today. A video came up and the woman in the video asked, “What would you do uninterrupted?” What would you be still working on if you never got interrupted? Whether itContinue reading “Lunch w/ Jayne”
On Writing a Daily Journal
I have been working on journaling everyday for years. At first I journaled all in the same place whether it was a novel journal or a daily thought, or research effort. Then I separated them all. And now I have a place where daily journaling is it’s own thing. This year I was really diggingContinue reading “On Writing a Daily Journal”
Support Other Writers
Writing Groups 101 This is one of the most important parts. I’m not going to lie, I have points in my life where I can read tons and tons of things from comic books to Journal articles.

Why I Succeed
I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed. Michael Jordan I mostly appreciate the quote because it’s from Michael Jordan. I forget about the failures it took when I see people as successful as him. He had to make some pretty silly mistakes too. We’re human,Continue reading “Why I Succeed”
Writing Groups
Writing groups are one of the greatest things I could be part of as a writer. As a psych major I’m always interested in seeing the bloom and grow and seeing how diverse writers influence each others craft. It feels good to be in a safe place among other’s who share the same medium. WritingContinue reading “Writing Groups”
