Poetry 002 – My Phantom, Forever
Happy Wednesday, readers! This week, I am showcasing another poem. This was written a long time ago, more than ten years ago. Let me know if you like it! This house is empty. Where did you go?

005 Changes
Hey there readers! We’re taking another little break from the fiction this week. Today’s post, though, is in regards to the stories I have been sharing here.

For me in particular, unless I’m focused on something more imperative like my job or ice cream, my mind tends to drift toward my characters,Continue reading “003 Scatterbrain”
002 Motivation/Procrastination
When it comes to getting things done, some people achieve that with ease. They see a task and get right to it. Others, like myself, sometimes need a little nudge. The desire and drive is there, but something is missing: motivation. So how does one get motivated? Here are a few things that help me:Continue reading “002 Motivation/Procrastination”
001 Beginnings
Beginnings can be really hard. In literature, you have that opening line, that hook. Stephen King said it best: “An opening line should invite the reader to begin the story. It should say: Listen. Come in here. You want to know about this.” There have been a great many iconic first lines, like those ofContinue reading “001 Beginnings”
