Okay, so I'm not going to go crazy with this blog post since I'm feeling under the weather and I'm probably going to ramble a lot more than I want to. I've had the remains of a sore throat for weeks, but then it settled into a full on cold, complete with a headache.… Continue reading Pep Talk #3

NaNoWriMo 2014 Week 3
It has been 14 days since I set a goal for myself to write 5,000 words a week (20,000 words by the end of the month). If you take a look at the word counter off to the right, you'll see that I'm now at 29,645 words for Rose. 14 days ago I… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2014 Week 3
Pep Talk #2
I've written another chapter since my last post. That means I'm at 22,238 words total and 8,121 words since November started. I'm almost halfway to my goal. I really hope that I can stay motivated for the rest of the month. After looking at the rest of my week, I've got high hopes… Continue reading Pep Talk #2

If you check out her website, you can see all of the interviews that have already been released. I think it's very interesting to read… Continue reading What Makes a Writer?
Pep Talk
As I promised in my last post, I'm going to post NaNoWriMo and other writing inspiration talks from the NaNoWriMo site. I think the NaNoWriMo pep talks are really cool because they get so many different types of authors to write letters directly to the participants. Famous authors are talking to people like… Continue reading Pep Talk
NaNoWriMo
In my last post, I talked a lot about Halloween and how that season inspires me. The best part about Halloween is that the inspiration and creativity leads right into NaNoWriMo. For those who don't know what NaNoWriMo is, it stands for National Novel Writing Month. Anyone can do NaNoWriMo. It starts… Continue reading NaNoWriMo
Halloween
Yay! Halloween! It's the holiday of candy and costumes. As an author, I like to think that I'm a kid at heart. I'm creative and I like to have fun. I write because I like to pretend. And because I love to pretend, I love dressing up for Halloween. When I was in… Continue reading Halloween

Yes, the day has finally come. I will finally show you the reaction that came from the perspective prompt.

I have made major modifications to Rose because this prompt sparked an… Continue reading Perspective Prompt
