I started planning out my new story! I've got a story down! I was desperately trying to throw together elements of a story that just wouldn't fit. So I saw another author use this method from Dan Harmon and decided that I would try it for myself. I think it did help me a lot… Continue reading WIP Talk: Planning

On Finding Story
I'm working on a new material while I'm putting together my novella and anthology. I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out what I want the story to be about. I know my character, I know what they want, but I don't know if the story should be about them overcoming a stream of… Continue reading On Finding Story
On Anxiety and Self Care
Life gets so awkward sometimes. Yesterday, I went to a film mixer to meet fellow filmmakers in the area. I was so excited to finally go to one, but when I got there my excitement turned into anxiety and I shut down. Luckily I had my buffer (aka my husband) that came along with me… Continue reading On Anxiety and Self Care
On Being Motivated

Short Stories are getting edited Deciding on how… Continue reading On Being Motivated
On Different Projects: Excitement and Fears

I'm surprised I was able to work on… Continue reading On Different Projects: Excitement and Fears

We were having a conversation about schizophrenia with a couple of my friends and my husband decided… Continue reading WIP Talk: Introduction to Main Characters
Welcoming 2019!
Happy New Year! New Year Resolutions: I haven't really thought about what my New Year Resolution is. I know you're supposed to have it figured out before the New Year begins, but I feel like the month of January should be a month to figure out what you're going to work on for the rest… Continue reading Welcoming 2019!
WIP Talk: Small Details
I thought I was pretty much finished with my novella. I got my notes back from one of my friends and after discussing it with them, I was able to recognize that I needed to add in some key information that I didn't know was missing. I also recently read this article written by C.S.… Continue reading WIP Talk: Small Details
WIP Talk: Underlying message
So as I move towards finishing my novella, I'm going to be talking about it on my blog a lot more. I'll probably head each of those posts with "WIP Talk" or something like that so you know what kind of blog you're getting into. Today I want to talk about the main topic of… Continue reading WIP Talk: Underlying message
