Luckily for us the scariest things about me are my fascination with angler fish and corvids, my oddball humor, and inability to sleep (thanks insomnia). But I do get some of my best writing done when I'm sleep deprived, so it's not a total loss. But you aren't here for my insomnia or bird or … Continue reading I’m (a ghost) Back (to haunt you)!

Books to Read: Stories by Black Authors
Within the past few days I've come to realize how much privilege I have as a white author. I've also realized that I need to do (a lot) more in supporting Black authors. Their stories are some of the most overlooked. Today I want to spotlight Black authors and the stories they tell. Buying their … Continue reading Books to Read: Stories by Black Authors

New Year, New Projects
I've never been a fan of the "new year, new start" mindset. It's a holdover from when I was a child. Back then I believed that if you wanted to change something you should just do it. I still feel that way, although I've become a fair bit more lenient in this mindset. Sometimes, you … Continue reading New Year, New Projects
A Letter to the Readers About NaNoWriMo and Works in Progress
The first time I won NaNoWriMo I learned that I could finish something. The second time I won, I learned that writing is not something one can do in isolation, not successfully at least. The third time, this time, I learned that I don't have to give up on myself. It used to be a … Continue reading A Letter to the Readers About NaNoWriMo and Works in Progress

A Quiet Start
If Scrooge and the Grinch are icons of Christmas displeasure then I would be an icon of New Years Eve displeasure. Then again, this year, health issues might have something to do with that. Obviously, I have to do things a little differently. The upcoming year will be a quiet one for me. I swore … Continue reading A Quiet Start

October is one of my favorite months. In the south, the weather is finally starting to feel like fall. The leaves are turning their warmest colors. There's no place you can walk without that satisfying crunch of leaves underfoot. My morbid soul comes to life as I watch the plastic and inflatable un-dead rise from … Continue reading Of Dire Dreams (an October Reading List)
