Madly, Deeply is exactly what the title states it is, the diaries of Alan Rickman. Any broader narrative shouldn’t be expected. As a fan of Alan, I was very interested in reading this book and ultimately am glad I picked it up but don’t think this is something I would recommend more broadly. This isContinue reading “Book Review: Madly, Deeply- The Diaries of Alan Rickman”

Book Review: She is a Haunting
“She is a Haunting” is a YA book with generational horror, a haunted house, inner demons, and a look at the colonial oppression of a people; sounds like a lot over the course of 350 pages? It is. I wanted to like this book with its vivid horror scenes and references to the harm doneContinue reading “Book Review: She is a Haunting”
Keeping up with the BookTokers
I have always struggled with keeping up with my social media. No matter how hard I tried to get myself into a routine or the zone, I inevitably fell off the branding/ content bandwagon within a few weeks. Outside of that, I even went so far as to pull myself off social media entirely duringContinue reading “Keeping up with the BookTokers”
Week One of Freelancing: A Success? 🤷🏼♂️
This week, I concentrated on getting myself set up on Fiverr with a few gigs to kick off my plunge into freelancing. Whereas the process wasn’t complicated, it was a new experience, with me unsure of where I fit in. Every time that I sat down in front of the computer and opened the descriptionContinue reading “Week One of Freelancing: A Success? 🤷🏼♂️”
Writer for Hire?
As I’ve written about many times, finding time to write is always tricky. With the 9-to-5 job, a family, and just the time needed to wind down for my sanity, having a solid block of time to work on my novels and short stories seems nearly impossible to achieve. Obviously, stating it as an impossibilityContinue reading “Writer for Hire?”
Unforeseen Hiatus
Writing seems to exist in a predictable pattern for me, even when unintended. A burst of inspiration inevitably leads to a hiatus after I cross the halfway point with my work and alas, it occurred again. I haven’t posted in any of my spaces since May and for good reason, seeing as the income sideContinue reading “Unforeseen Hiatus”
Kickin’ it at 36
Mortality is an interesting thing and if COVID has taught us anything, it is that it should be valued. Today marked my 36th birthday and, while it was a time to reflect on being another year older with my professional dreams not yet achieved, it also opened up the world of possibilities before me. I’mContinue reading “Kickin’ it at 36”
Writing & Community
Writing feels like a solitary endeavor and often it is. Hours and hours sitting behind a keyboard or putting the pen to the page, whisking yourself away to worlds your mind creates or, on those occasions, starring at the page waiting for the thoughts to come. Regardless, you are usually alone. It’s odd isn’t it?Continue reading “Writing & Community”
I’ve been busy!
It has been almost 10 days since my last post! How the time flies, huh? In that time I’ve been diligently working on short story submissions, my short story collection for publication, and the revision of my novel manuscript. It’s hard word but the most fulfilling work I’ve ever done. I’m creating, it is soContinue reading “I’ve been busy!”
Books, Books, and More Books 📚
This is likely one of my more aimless blog posts, but as I was doing some writing earlier I decided I needed a break. So per usual, I grabbed a book and plunged into somebody else’s story. Well for a short time that is. Then I stopped and considered other titles on my to-read-list. NeedlessContinue reading “Books, Books, and More Books 📚”
