On Writing and Being Creative (Help Me, I’m Drowning)
Ten years Ago…
Ten years ago, I finished my very first novel. It would become GODEATER: The Second World, published February 29, 2016!

7 Days until To Forge Anew: Introducing Ligrog Dale
Today I'm talking all about Ligrog Dale, the main character of To Forge Anew! Based on an actual D&D character of mine, Ligrog has big hopes of changing the world for the better.
Renewal.

As I create worlds and ideas flow to me, I like to write them all down (like most author creatures, obviously... I... Continue Reading →
(Flash Poetry) Follow-Up: When Anxiety Makes You Not Write.
My last post talked about me having all these words screaming in my ears, begging to write them down, how my mind was already ready to dive in to the next project.
