It's been a very long time since I've updated my site (because obviously two months is an extremely long time), but I've been doing stuff even though I've been away from this site! Some of you might have noticed that my domain name got rid of the (.)wordpress bit in it. I also got some … Continue reading I’m Back! + Nocturna Book Cover Reveal

Writing: Embarrassing Stories
Whoo! I was finally able to get back into my routine last night! I finished a whole chapter of my third book! Sadly, I'm only ever able to write on weekends... So yeah, not a lot ever gets done during the school year, especially now that I'm taking Latin. (I am dreadful at learning languages, … Continue reading Writing: Embarrassing Stories
Why I Write
Today, before moving on to writing my third novel, I’ve decided to tell you the reason why I write. I realize that this is a very cliché thing for writers to do, but I don't particularly give a damn what other people have done. I have so many different reasons that I actually find it challenging … Continue reading Why I Write

Writing: Training for the Real World
SPOILER ALERT. “Alexei, where are you taking me?” Valon asked, following his husband down the road. He quickened, moving to Alexei’s side and shuffling awkwardly as he glanced at the citizens bowing to them. Alexei held back a snort, motioning for their three guards to encircle them. “Here, my love,” Alexei replied, stopping in front of a large, plain polished limestone building. It had many square windows and rose three stories high. Thin lines of shapes like triangles or circles or just thicker solid lines of green, blue, and red were painted over the white blocks at the base and on the roof. “What is this?” Valon questioned confused. The courtyard in front of the building was empty, giving Valon no hints. . . .
Q&A: Who Created the Monster World?
Most of these are actually questions and answers I created during the process of creating my story, so I'll be posting many of those. If anyone else has questions, feel free to ask! I would love to answer them. Alexei’s great-grandfather created Nocturna, though at the time it was not hidden from the mortal world. … Continue reading Q&A: Who Created the Monster World?
Writing is a Lot of Work
Prepare yourselves now, fellow writers, because it only gets harder once you finish writing and editing your first book. Especially if you're thinking of self-publishing. I still don't know for sure if I am or not, but I am the type of person who likes to prepare for any type of scenario, so here I … Continue reading Writing is a Lot of Work
Yay!
Okay, sorry for the lack of updates, but I've been busy working on my next book, which I can proudly say is 2/3 of the way done! Whoo! I'm very happy about it. I have a couple more agents to send my book to, so I hope someone replies asking for my full manuscript soon! … Continue reading Yay!
Forever and Always Support!
This definitely deserves to be on my blog, in light of the recent (and wonderful) events. I will always support LGBTQIA+ 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!

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
