Rejections Hurt, But You Don’t Have to Let it Hurt Your Writing!
Hello everyone. It has been a long, long while since I posted last. School gets wild when finals are due.

I guess I shall call it inspirational motivation. Hope […]

An Excert from a scene I was Thinking About
“He told me that he loved me, but in that broken moment, I knew he was lying. There are no words to express the pain in knowing he could never love me. But again, I find it comforting to know the truth of the man I once knew. Maybe another time, he could love, but […]

What’s Your Software?
There are many programs writers can use other than Microsoft Word. No offense to the Word, which I used to use, but there are software that is made specifically for writers. Word is awesome, if you know how to use it well, but it still lacks features that can make it easier for us writers […]
