Aspiring Author and mother of one.
I have been an avid writer for many years, and have come to a point in my life I am able to dedicate the time to the craft.
I mainly write Dark Fantasy and Romantasy.

Don't you love it when you're writing a scene about a character dealing with a tragic past, and the Mentor says something so profound, you sit back like you just got smacked in the face with a brutal truth and go;
"Welp, shit. I just stumbled into my own therapy session"

Progress shot of the latest #embroidery! I always find depicting water reflections to be an interesting challenge, and it’s a bit part of this one.

find a niche so incredibly specific that it caters to literally no human being that has ever existed in history and write exclusively that until you transcend all limits and become god

Lucy Lawless is a national treasure, if the nation is the imagined Greco-Roman past, and it is. "what about New Zealand?" "oh they just made that place up for those Peter Jackson movies."

Somewhere right now, a writer is wondering if anyone will ever read their work. This is your sign to keep going.

There may come a day when Kansas's "Carry On (Wayward Son)" does NOT remind me of Supernatural.

Today is not that day.

The hardest part is how relevant the song remains almost 40 years later. When a protest song ages into a documentary, the failure isn’t the art, it’s society.

Chapman’s work endures because she writes testimony, not metaphor.

Just had one of those amazing moments where you sit up going "Yes, of course, that makes perfect sense!" after you figure out why something you wrote previously is actually perfect for what happens later.

Good job, brain!

Sometimes you have to put blinders on and just focus on writing today. Not tomorrow. Not next year. Make Something. Create Something. Act in defiance of the world. #AmWriting Make something for you. #Writing Writer #Author #BookSky #AuthorSky

There's something wildly comforting in the fact that no story, not the one you're writing and not the one you read in school, is perfect.

Sure there are rules, grammar and syntax and methods to engage your reader and keep your prose tight. (1/2)
