Keep a Pinterest board for inspiration When I see prompts, pictures or other things that spark an idea in my head, I usually save it to one of my pin boards, either for writing ideas or story inspirations. Pinerest boards are great to look at when you get stuck and want to feel creative again.Continue reading “5 Ways to Stay Creative”

Flash Fiction Friday: War & Peace
Prompt: War and Peace Word Count: 201 This year, she tried to put her weapons down. She was not fighting against some sovereign entity, but rather against the voices that had started the war within her own head. Her swords were sharp, terrible thoughts. I am not attractive anymore, what use do I have ifContinue reading “Flash Fiction Friday: War & Peace”
My Writing Space
I always find it fascinating to see how other writers and creators organize their spaces. Organization has been sort of a thing for me lately, as I’ve been reading The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo. This is probably the best my desk/office had looked in years, so keep that mind. When I’mContinue reading “My Writing Space”
Review: Ready Player One
I had heard about Ernest Cline’s novel Ready Player One from a few different sources, but I recently saw preview pictures of the set of the movie version of the book and decided to check it out.

It’s Okay For People To Like Things…I Promise.
My head has been down the last few weeks as I tried to finish costumes for Salt Lake Comic Con and continue the decluttering project I’ve decided to do on my entire house. I still check Facebook and one pattern of posts struck me as really strange and kind of bothersome. The Harley Quinn Haters.Continue reading “It’s Okay For People To Like Things…I Promise.”
Review – Suicide Squad
First off let me say, I enjoyed the movie. It’s a decent popcorn flick and if you have a general idea of the backstory of the characters involved, you can fill in the blanks that may have ended up on the cutting room floor. That being said, the action scenes were very entertaining and did notContinue reading “Review – Suicide Squad”
Comic Spotlight: What I’m Reading
Right now there are two titles that I’m currently picking up from Marvel, Mockingbird and Black Widow. Each book has very different female leads and are entertaining for different reasons, read more and find out why. I’d also recommend Wayward by Jim Zub and Monstress by Marjorie Liu. I picked up the trade of the firstContinue reading “Comic Spotlight: What I’m Reading”
A Goal is a Dream with a Deadline
I am not great about setting goals. I mean, I do set them, but I am the kind of person that will easily be distracted from the things I am pursuing. The thing is, without a goal a dream is just that, something intangible and not achievable. The goal is the thing that gives youContinue reading “A Goal is a Dream with a Deadline”
A Guide to Writing Werewolves based on Real Wolf Packs
For the last few years, I’ve dug into a lot of research on wolves for a werewolf book I want to write. It’s been both interesting and alarming to see how much actual pack culture is different from the tropes we see in movies and TV about werewolves. Typically in werewolf media, we see aContinue reading “A Guide to Writing Werewolves based on Real Wolf Packs”
Don’t dabble – Tips To Stay Committed To Your Writing
A few weeks ago, one of my favorite authors for self-help, Gabrielle Bernstein, posted a video about staying on course for what you want. At the bottom of her post, she had the option to tweet about it and the tweet basically said: “Stay committed, don’t dabble.” This concept is something I’ve talked a lotContinue reading “Don’t dabble – Tips To Stay Committed To Your Writing”
