Sadly, this is the truth of the matter. I hate editing so much. Really, I do. But it's definitely worth it too. I didn't really expect that taking a month's break from it would help so much. I edited it 5 times right after I finished, and I couldn't find much to change. The last … Continue reading Editing

Forever and Always Support!
This definitely deserves to be on my blog, in light of the recent (and wonderful) events. I will always support LGBTA+ people and rights, so if you don't, save yourself some time, a headache, and a debate in my comments by getting off my website. (Though I really don't know why you'd be on here … Continue reading Forever and Always Support!

Next Novel
Well, technically novelette or novella, depending on the length, but it definitely should not be as long as Nocturna (hopefully). I'm not going to give anything away that would spoil either book, but I will give you a couple things about it: It's a prequel to Nocturna, so it's about a big event that is … Continue reading Next Novel

So this is completely unrelated to anything I'm doing, but it's 8 in the morning here and I still haven't fallen asleep so I'm pretty much just running on fumes right now, so please ignore any weirdness in this post (so, the entire post). Ahem, well, I thought that this would be a great time … Continue reading Random
Nocturna’s Current Status
Whoo! I'm finally back on track! I finished editing Nocturna (for the seventh time now ^-^') and have started sending it out to agents once again! Honestly though, you really have to force yourself to stop editing and consider yourself done at some point, otherwise you'd be editing the book for the rest of your … Continue reading Nocturna’s Current Status
Writing: Happy Father’s Day!
(Even though technically this is a day late, since I only just came up with it at 1 in the morning, oops.) Spoiler Alert. June 2015 – Post-Nocturna “What are you doing?” Alexei asked from his place on one of the garden’s many benches as I gathered a multitude of flowers in my hand. I … Continue reading Writing: Happy Father’s Day!

Centuries – Fall Out Boy
Most, if not all people enjoy or at least know of this song. It's actually one of my favorites because it fits so perfectly with my story. When you get to the end of my book, I would NOT recommend listening to this while reading the epilogue. 😉 (DO IT, DO IT, DO IT AND … Continue reading Centuries – Fall Out Boy
Night-time Blogging
I am almost finished editing Nocturna (for the seventh time... -_-), I've started a second book (and a third, and a fourth, and a fifth. I have WAY too many ideas), and I am about to go on vacation for a second time this summer! So far, I'm doing pretty good. Go, me! Hahaha. And … Continue reading Night-time Blogging
