Nearing the End (of the year)

The end of the year always feels like a deadline of sorts. I had a lot of plans and goals (both work and personal) set at the beginning of the year and now, I’m trying my very best to ensure that I’ve achieved them all. There are always a few things left hanging out there to be finished but this year I feel like I’ve had a good year. I didn’t get everything I’d planned finished, but I did get a lot of them. I also noticed that my writing seems to be gaining some momentum, which is also a very good thing. In fact, I am moving my own schedule ahead a bit to try and get even more […]

It meant when the weekend was over, I actually felt refreshed and was ready to get back to my writing. It was something entirely new for me.

All I Want for Christmas

There are so many things I could wish for at Christmas time. Peace on Earth. Good will toward all humankind. A best-selling book. Heck, even a boatload of cash would be welcome, but I think I’m going to set my sights a little bit lower. Are you ready to hear my Christmas holiday wish? Here it is: all I want is a review. If you have read/listened to/watched something I have done and gotten anything from it, please leave me a review on it. Goodreads, Amazon, Chapters-Indigo, Barnes & Noble, Wattpad, iTunes. Wherever, it doesn’t matter. Just leave one. It helps spread the word, it helps me know what, if anything, people are getting from my work and it helps […]
