we're all mad here
I recognize that this title is misleading, especially given more than half of the posts that I put up, but I promise it’s going to make sense by the end of this post. I can take myself right back to high school, handing out spiralbound copies of my book to literally any friend that would…

I think it’s safe to say that this is going to be my favorite post I’ve ever written. Possibly also the hardest? On one hand, it’s definitely because I love talking about my own characters, and they make me stupid squeal at any given moment. But, on the other, I can’t wait for all of…

In middle school, I started writing this series, Chronicles of Kings. It was inspired by LOTR & DragonLance initially, and then the Inheritance Cycle came along and ruined my life, which is to say that there were a lot of dragons in it. Like, so many. In the beginning, there was also a portal between…

When I was considering posts for pride, I was originally going to scrap this one for later, but, in all honesty, fanfiction is what first opened up the queer community for me, so it feels like the perfect discussion post to kick off celebrations. I’m going to talk a bunch about my history with fanfiction…

I’ll be the first person to admit that I love a lot of tropes. Enemies to friends to lovers?…

It can be any genre, any length beyond that, and even contain mild cliffhangers! Why? Because some of these will turn into…

Can I do it? I’m honestly not sure. When you read this, it will be Friday, but right now, it’s Monday, and I am exactly 25,936 words behind for NaNoWriMo. One of two things is about to happen. I’m either going to give up, or I’m going to write 25k words in 5 days. And…

I keep wanting to start this blog with, wow it’s been a long time! But realistically, it’s only been a little over a week since I last posted. And wow, what a ride these past 10 days have been. Shortly after the new year, I started editing Alex the Destroyer. My dad is fantastic, and prints…

Happy New Year! 2017 was a wild year, full of a lot of unexpected things. It was a hugely emotional year, and though I’m happy to leave it behind, I’m also happy to have experienced all of it. I hope that 2018 brings just as much balance as the year before did, or more. In…
