I put the word "review" in quotes because I find it very difficult to put myself in any kind of position where it could even be dreamed of that I would be worthy to take apart this novel. Yes, I've tackled classics before (maybe someday I'll show you all my "review" of The Great Gatsby) … Continue reading Book “Review” – To Kill a Mockingbird

Because it's just that simple. I've seen too many articles like this.

I've talked about using other writers as inspiration, and books we love, but as I've pushed to make clear, I believe that inspiration for writing doesn't have to come only from books. I believe a good … Continue reading Inspiration Wednesday – Those Who Go Before
This is a review written for my 4th semester of grad school, in which I was asked specifically to focus not only on the book itself, but how you approach the book as a writer.

Anyone? C'mon, someone tell me they get the title. Please? *ahem* In any event. So this past month was the second summer session for Camp NaNoWriMo. As you all may know, I'm a huge supporter and fan of the November NaNo proper, and have served as an ML for two years now. However, my endeavors … Continue reading Failure, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Process
So I've been pretty quiet in the Internet sphere since last Tuesday or so. I haven't been writing. I haven't been editing. I have been working out, but not enough the counteract how much food I've been eating. And you know what? I'm glad of it. You see, I think there's something that many writers … Continue reading Inspiration Wednesday: Rest
This is a review written for my 4th semester of grad school, in which I was asked specifically to focus not only on the book itself, but how you approach the book as a writer. I'm a little daunted to be putting up something about King's book here, but hey--if I'm ever to convince myself … Continue reading Book Review: On Writing
Yes, yes, yes. Finally I've gotten off my butt and started posting the serial. Yay! The first chapter of Quest to Karantiri, my fantasy story, has gone live about an hour ago (if everything is going according to plan; I'm setting this up a few days in advance since I won't be available to post this … Continue reading Announcement: Beginning of the Serial!
