I just got home from one of the longest days at school. I'm looking forward to tonight and relaxing with a good friend and a great meal (that she's cooking for me!). So, I checked my mail and in it was a really small, inconspicuous letter. I open in up and WOW! I feel so … Continue reading Good things come in small packages…

The Downward Spiral
So...I finished writing my 85k word novel yesterday in a massive rush of typing away during spring break and now...now I'm not sure what to do. Spending so much time on one project, where my entire focus is only on that, is fantastic but when finished leaves a very odd feeling. It's like a large … Continue reading The Downward Spiral
Battery Assault
Hey guys! So my writing was slow today. Sadly it had to do with a lot of pain in my wrist. So instead of pushing through to finish, I'm just going to do that tomorrow. Here's what I did today! It's one of my favorite chapter titles ever and I will actually tell you why. … Continue reading Battery Assault
Holy cow!
Oh goodness! Yesterday I surpassed even my own expectations and was up crazy late writing. So...that's why this post comes to you now. I finished three chapters yesterday. Fender Bender and an Asshole, Son of God, & Whiskey and Wine. Goodness! But I'm very close to being done with the major writing aspects of this … Continue reading Holy cow!
In the Line & Conspiracy to Commit
I finished two chapters today (one is short, I swear I'm not THAT insane). I am, however, working on chapter 11. There are 15 total currently, but I might drop one. We'll see. The first chapter (aka ch 9) has some really important stuff in it. And ch 10 tells a bit more background for … Continue reading In the Line & Conspiracy to Commit
Drunken Jesus
Yes, that is the title of the chapter. No, I will not tell you more! This chapter was easy to write until the end and then I blundered like a baby while I wrote the last two thousand words or so. It was so emotional for the main character I just couldn't help myself. Anyway, … Continue reading Drunken Jesus
Schrodinger’s Cat
Here's what I have been working on today! I'm finally getting back into writing after a very busy month of traveling, school and illness. My goal this week (which also happens to be my Spring Break) is to finished writing this super secret project that's not so secret. That means writing about 8,000 words a … Continue reading Schrodinger’s Cat
Alien Arrival
This is what I've been working on most of the day. It's got one of my favorite scenes! The scene is based in truth. I worked with law enforcement and heard a call similar to this one. Although, the way it's written is from a very different POV and its greatly exaggerated.
One up, One down
I finished writing chapter 4 of the super secret project that's not so secret yesterday. It took longer than I expected and the chapter itself is a bit shorter than I thought it would be (my guess is that'll change in edits), but it is finished for the first draft. This chapter was incredibly intense … Continue reading One up, One down
Devil’s Advocate
Wrote about 8k words today! My original goal was 5k and I upped it to 10k. I'm satisfied and taking the rest of the night off. This project is turning out to be amazing! I'm so excited for it! In 2,000 more words, I'll be a quarter of the way through my original plot (always … Continue reading Devil’s Advocate
DV 101
Guess who's writing! Oh right, that's me! I've been writing a lot of today. Here's a pic of the first chapter of my super secret project!! I'm very excited for this project. You also get to see a few lines (kinda sorta) so be excited! Oh and say hello to my writing partner, Rusty the … Continue reading DV 101
February Goals!
February is fast and coming. AKA THAT'S TOMORROW! Yikes! I have two goals for Feb. I'm changing it up from my original goals because I need the help. So I have two goals, aside from my general school studies and actually being up-to-date with my readings. 1. Write my super secret project 2. Edit "Dying … Continue reading February Goals!
