we're all mad here
I can remember it clear as day–thirteen, hanging upside down off my friend’s bed while they succumbed to a bean bag, another friend sitting cross-legged on the bed, all three of us talking about the books we were going to write, the interviews we would do with each other, the future of fame and household…

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.

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

Welcome to the Thursday Thousand! Every week, on Thor’s Day, I will be posting a short story (hopefully) written in advance. The only parameter is that it be, at minimum, 1000 words long.

I realize it’s only been one day since my last post, and only two since my last time talking about Saints, but a lot happened today! First: part two is done! Two days ago, I hit a really incredible milestone of 100k words, and I was super stoked about it. For some reason, reaching that…
Read MoreAll the boys. I know I just posted, but boys. I have a lot of them (and a few girls, I promise), and if any of this is going to make sense, I need to explain who they are. Prepare yourself. I’m not kidding when I say there are a lot. I’m also linking all of…
