From plants and pills;
my world spills;

Until nothing beats
inside my chest.

Four years ago I went to a writing conference. I learned that I was doing lots of things wrong when it came to my writing, but mostly when it came to querying agents.
I thought spell check was the same as editing.
I thought 120,000 words for a YA romance was totally fine.
You get the picture.
I met a lot of great people and ate a very overpriced salad.
We were all there for the same reason: To get an agent.
The last day of the conference they had a speed-dating session with the agents. It cos...

Killing the Magic
Sometimes I hear a song that inspires a scene, a character, or just a feeling. I’ll buy it, load it to my iPod and play it every chance I get. I play until it’s just another set of chords and words that don’t stop me in my tracks and force me to absorb its melody into my soul.
I play it until I kill the magic.
Sometimes I hear a song so inspirational that I refuse to buy it. I want the magic to last longer than a couple of weeks. I only allow myself to hear it by chance. I let fate decide bec...

What is Diversity in Books?
When you grow up in diversity, it’s much harder to identify it. Where I grew up, wedistinguished people by color and race because we were all different colors and races. Someone would say, “Did you hear that chubby kid threw up at P.E. today.” You’d say, which one. They would say, “The latin kid that’s always eating pretzels.” You’re like, oh yeah that guy. There was nothing racist about the exchange. Just information passing from one person to the next.
We justsaid things like: the big ass b...

Poetry Monday #23
You’re my eyes when I can’t see;
the destructive life I tend to lead.
Drugs or drink.
Sex, love, or how I think.
Although we often disagree.
Through your eyes I will see.
The person I am destined to be.
