May Wrap Up and Other World Ending Events
IT’S JUNE. WAIT, WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN??? May was a weird month of like no ballet classes, breaking my phone. Endgame (*screams and tears* ). There were weirdly cold days, mulling over stories, and buying a fourth pair of sunglasses. That was May. Like the condensed milk version. Now we can make some pumpkin…

“Am I Writer?” We’re Asking the Question the Wrong Way
“Am I a writer?” can seem like a really harsh question that will send you down the spiraling slide of doom into an endless loop of despair. But it is a legit question. The problem lies with how we are asking it. If you are considering writing as a career (or your calling, as I would…

What a Writer Wants for Christmas
“On the twelfth day before Christmas my true love gave to me…” Twelves days till Christmas. Twelve days.

If You Want to Catch a Writer…
If you want to catch a writer (heaven knows why. They’ll probably just eat all your books and steal all your paper), there are some things you’ll need to know once you lay hands on this mythical creature. The writer. You’ll need a place to put your writer. Preferably put them somewhere where they can…

All a Writer Need is…
Love, love is all you need! *takes off headphones* Did you say something? Sorry, I was groov’in. I believe that there is an overall concurrence within the general public that the breed of people known as writers don’t need much. OK, fine, fine, fine, FINE. Maybe writers are a little demanding, but we only want total perfection here.…

5 Misconceptions About Writers (like no one has done this before)
It seems sometimes writers are held to a mythological level. Writers spend their time roaming misty hills in the highlands, or in small, dark offices, or huddling in the corners of coffee shops. But REALLY? DO WE DO THESE THINGS?? Are the myths all true??? I don’t know. I can only speak for myself over…
