The Phoenix Has Arisen
So, a while ago I wrote about my decision about writing a novel that would take place before the events that happen in the series I’m currently working on. I put that on pause to continue writingIgnite, the first book in this series. But now, I’m taking this one month of march to see how much I can go with Phoenix, since her story is one I’ve had in my head for quite a long time.
After reading what I’d written at the beginning of the year, I decided it sucked. And here’...

Discussion: Male POVs in YA
Okay, I love books told from guys’ POV as much as the next person. I even love mixed POVs too! We can all agree this type of writing gives us some valuable insight into the story that can make it something you just won’t stop reading.
I just despisecertainthings regarding male POVs. Especifically, over-the-top sexuality.
I’m not blind, I know guys are no saints, (neither are girls but you get my drift) but there IS a healthy middle between a normal guy and one who is always horny. Seriously. So...

My Month in Movies
I haven’t been very productive movie-watching wise this month, but I managed to squeeze in two (yay!). It seems that when my brain refuses to compute the written word, and burns at the the thought of staring at that bloody blinking cursor moving over a blank page of what is supposed to be an essay, it gladly accepts the soothing effect of wasting no energy in just absorbing a movie.
Here we go!
1. Jupiter Ascending
I watched it out of pure boredom. I didn’t even know what the thing was about. I...

Review: Soul Crossed, by Lisa G. Green
