A Very Harry Potter Valentine

I’m very behind in my Valentine’s Day advent but no one’s perfect (at least that what Hannah Montana always said). Today’s valentine was inspired from the only time Valentines is heavily mentioned in the Harry Potter series, in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets the MinaLima edition. So far the series has book 1

Books on Writing

Over the past year I’ve begun purchasing writing help books. Ones with writing prompts and others that help me learn better techniques to refine my craft. Here are the two I purchased last year and that I would highly recommend. The Writer’s Idea Thesaurus by Fred White https://shopstyle.it/l/bCSEZ I love this book because it provides

IT’S BOOK LAUNCH DAY!

Today is the BIG DAY. I’m so excited to announce you can now buy my novel A Royal Mind through Barnes and Noble and Amazon. I’ve been so ready to share this book with everyone for a while now, but I waited till this day for a special reason. Today would have been my grandfather’s

NanoWriMo Day???

I’ve lost track of my NanoWriMo days. Looking back it probably wasn’t realistic for me to make the goal of writing every day and getting a total of 50,000 words by the end of the month DURING finals. I’ve done my best to keep writing every day or at least every other- but it’s been

NanoWriMo: Day 2

Sooooo… I almost called day a two a complete failure. I ran out of time to write because of school work and sticky wallpaper. I ended up having a paragraph written for day two. Only a paragraph. A total of 64 words. Great going, I thought to myself, day 2 and you’ve already dropped the

NanoWriMo: Day 1

I’m new to the writing community. I’ve written for years but since publishing my first book last year I’ve tried joining writing communities and groups because I wanted to get to know other writers as well as promote my book. I stumbled upon the term NanoWriMo last month and had no idea what people were
