Reading some things last night I realized a trend. Not every time, but sometimes when I read, I lose interest in the details and just skip to the parts that tell me the gist of what is being said or what is going on. Why do I lose interest in things and skip them: They […]
I discovered today that Day 26 of the 30 Day Writing Challenge – which was actually yesterday- was to write about your worst habit. Had to think on that one for a moment. I considered many habits such as my long term relationship with procrastination. As I pondered the options, I asked myself the pertinent […]
As I was contemplating a plot of a new book I am just beginning to write, I had to once again ask myself – how will this end? I am a pantser when it comes to writing, however, I do require an ending to the story to already be planned out because it helps guide […]

And when you find a man incapable of […]
The flash fiction challenge was to create a subgenre of punk and write a short 1000 word story. Unfortunately for me, I am not all that familiar with punk as a genre of writing. I’ve never written anything that would even come close to being considered of the punk genre. From what I read online […]
