Standing in My Own Way

Blelo evwebody. It is rainy. It is always rainy these days. It does not feel like summer. And I am doing it again. I am starting to feel like I am not writing enough. I feel like I should be more prolific. I keep beating myself up because I haven’t gotten around to writing those […]

In Line with the Best?

Hello! I’m back. And I’ve been writing furiously! Hurray! Surprising, isn’t it? In my last post, I said I wasn’t going to think about what other people are doing anymore, and I’m not. So, I finished my space opera novelette and I finished my science fiction crime drama. 🙂 I’m very pleased. Now I’m getting […]

BElieve In YOUrself

For the longest time (months, years even), I have struggled with my writing. I have had a hard time picking up the pen or typing on the keys. I have felt my writing is, quite frankly, utter shit. I have constantly been comparing myself to other writers. Whether it’s not writing as prolifically as others […]

The Difference Between Two Worlds?

So I’m starting to work on my space opera again (yay) but I have such a love/hate relationship with it. It’s so different from The Underground Dogs. In tone, plot, voice, setting, etc., etc., etc. Sometimes when I look at it I feel like it’s terrible. But just because it’s different doesn’t meant it’s terrible. […]

Professional Review!

Hey everybody! It’s been a while since I last updated. A LOT of stuff has been going on… *ehem. BUT. Back in April 2020, I entered the Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards. They recently announced the winners and runner-ups. I didn’t win or place, but I got my commentary back and I thought it was […]
