Living and Writing…One Adventure at a Time
I haven’t enjoyed my writing in weeks. I’m not ashamed of saying this, I simply see it more as a fact of where my writing is right now. I posted some time ago that I thought I was coming close to finishing this draft of my novel, but it turned out to be I had […]

I wasn’t the best English student in high school. I simply wasn’t. I was more interested in theatre and making up my own stories in my head. I wasn’t part of journalism, and it honestly didn’t interest me. I was a weird kid, and I’m still pretty weird today. I was the kid who turned […]
