Write what you know. Isn't that the tried and true advice given to writers? I think I really need to sit down and figure out what it is I know, and what I really want to write about. Horror? Dark Fantasy? Literary? Poetry? Am I stretching myself too thin...
I've been wondering…how do I really know if I'm a talented writer? I mean, if I send things out and no one publishes them, am I awful? Friends and family aren't necessarily unbiased when reading something I've written. I mean, there are things I've written that I feel are...
I finally heard back from lichen literary journal regarding the 4 poetry submissions I sent back in October. "After careful consideration, we have decided that your submission does not meet our publishing needs at this time." Honestly, I sort of expected that. I also feel that since I haven't...
I don't know what it is. But ever since we moved to the new place, I've been waking up at like 8am, and if I'm up past midnight anymore, it's a miracle. At the old place, I'd easily stay up to 3am, and since Chris doesn't go into work...

NaNoWriMo starts in a few days and I still haven't finished planning my idea yet! It also doesn't help that it starts the same weekend we move to the new condo. Monday is my free day (so far). Then Tuesday, we have to pick up furniture at both my...
I'm thinking about participating in the National Novel Writing Month challenge. I know, it might seem insane, especially since that is our month of transition between our old and new homes…but when am I ever going to have the excuse to write for a month straight, and make it...
Better day, today, than yesterday. I've already gotten some writing done. I also posted one of my poems on Zoetrope for critique and 2 people have already responded – I just have to critique 5 poems so I can access the reviews. Someone who commented on my journal also...
Having another one of those manic-depressive days. One minute, I was all gung-ho about writing. But once I sat down to actually write – nothing would come to me.I was getting more angry and depressed with each passing minute. I know I can’t expect my creativity to be on...
