Writing Advice for the Soul

Four fundamental advice tips I have for new and returning writers.

2017 Resolutions Check-In

With only four months left in the year, where do I stand on my original 2017 resolutions I created back in January? Let’s do a check-in and evaluate and see where I am.

Short Stories & NaNoWriMo 2016

Ahh, National Novel Writing Month. Twenty or so days into the month, I was struggling for finding words for my novel. I started this short story below, because I needed something fresh to write. In the end, I won NaNoWriMo 2016 and this short story helped me on my 2016 Novel, Tilt. Now since I’ve goneContinue reading “Short Stories & NaNoWriMo 2016”

Officially Official!

While I actually accomplished this two weeks ago, I am still head over heels over me accomplishing my dreams. Back in 2014, I started this blog as a way to reach out to audiences about mental health, and just to expand my horizon on writing. Then, in 2015 I participated in National Novel Writing Month,Continue reading “Officially Official!”

2016 NaNoWriMo Victory and Statistics

This one’s going to be brief, but let’s “talk” about the month that was November 2016. In November this year, I started a new job. I had been unemployed for about two months, so I’m really thankful for the income rolling in.

An unbelievably witty and charming lists and ideas on why I am still thankful after Thanksgiving. Okay, maybe not.

Today is the 27th, so if I write at least 7,000 words a day, I’ll finish above the 50-KContinue reading “Thanks and Giving”

Why I start my New Year Resolutions in December.

The end of 2016 is coming near, and so is this month of November. Yes, this word count is going towards NaNoWriMo’s 50,000 goal. When 2017 begins in 35 days and counting, I will have already tested out my resolutions. This idea came to me about two years ago, when I was struggling withContinue reading “Why I start my New Year Resolutions in December.”

Tiny things for a tiny Eco-friendly home

Personally, I despise it when people don’t think about the harm we’ve traced on the environment as humans. And this is where I got the idea behind my NaNoWriMo novel, for all you people who are spitting out words like me this month. Some towns don’t have recycling programs, and for those who do, certainContinue reading “Tiny things for a tiny Eco-friendly home”

Wednesday’s Writings: Tilt Feature!

Day two of National Novel Writing Month, and I’ve had a iced green tea, iced caramel macchiato, a iced mocha at home, and 16 cups of water over the past two days. Last night, I made homemade pizza, which was was easy, since the crust was already made. I’ve also snacked on lots of post-HalloweenContinue reading “Wednesday’s Writings: Tilt Feature!”

One Week till NaNoWriMo: What’s going on in my Prep world.

I didn’t start prep work truly until the 15th. I had ideas running through my head in September and October, and really began to hustle out the notes for the past two weeks. Its been fun, actually. This time, I am focusing less om the story line to research, and more on setting and theContinue reading “One Week till NaNoWriMo: What’s going on in my Prep world.”
