Well, I thought I'd already written this review, but I suppose I haven't. I really ought to, before the next book in the series comes out and I become even further behind. And besides, it's the sequel to the book that really got my teeth sunk into this author's work, so why shouldn't I pay … Continue reading Book Review – Mindline

I am blessed to be friends with so many amazing writers. Particularly because when I spend days obsessing about the minute details of how something happens in a world of mine, they understand. They feel the pain of “but how did this virus get started??” or “but when did that war actually take place, in … Continue reading The Ones We Love and the Worlds They Live In
In my ongoing quest to read everything M.C.A. Hogarth has written about the Eldritch, the last in my most recent spree was Even the Wingless. Having struck up by this point a conversation about my interest with the author on Twitter, she warned me that this particular book was going to be darker than the … Continue reading Review: Even the Wingless

After a semester of seemingly above average work and only coming away with average grades to show for it, this is a wonderful pick-me-up for my inspiration. … Continue reading The Best Words
This is the fourth in a four-part series where you get to see the reviews I sent my MFA mentor during my second semester. I have chosen not to go through an edit the reviews in any way, despite the fact that I am posting these after I’ve received feedback from my mentor. So you’ll … Continue reading Book Review – The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner
As much as I know this phrase comes to mind when talking about something like cutting sentences that aren't necessary no matter how much you love them and think they're clever, I want to talk more about character death. I read an article lately that commented on how often writers think that killing off a … Continue reading Killing Your Darlings
