Writing has always been my passion, and everything I write has a piece of me invested in it. I love my characters, even the villains, and their stories, so I want to share them for others to enjoy and experience. I've learned a lot in terms of writing, and life, and am constantly finding out new things, so thank you to everyone for the support and encouragement along the way. I will add that the community is one of the main reasons I wanted to write, because it's so unique, so being a part of it makes writing so much more fun. ...more

My favorite TV couple would have had to be Chuck and Sarah, from "Chuck." As different as they are, the two characters constantly find a way back to each other, even when all hope seemed lost in the final season (Not really a spoiler). As for the literary couple...I'd have to go with my favorite trilogy of all time, The Night Angel trilogy. Brent Weeks truly crafted some of the finest couples I've read, whether it's Durzo and Momma K, Kylar and Vi, or Azoth and Doll Girl. The dynamics of these relationships are so well-written that it's hard to choose just one, although I would have to go with Kylar and Vi as their journey from beginning to end is so full of hardship and struggle. My second choice for that would be any number of Shakespeare's couples, since you can never discount the Bard. Third would be Edmund Dantes and his fiance of The Count of Monte Cristo by Dumas, my favorite classic. Despite marrying his best friend while he's imprisoned, unbeknownst to her, and his obsession with revenge, the two coming together in the end as love conquers even the strongest of emotions...That book is a masterpiece.(less)

How do you deal with writer’s block?

I've tried walking away, which didn't work for over a month and I've tried listening to music and staring at a blank screen. I recently encountered writer's block, though, and this is what worked: I went to dinner with my mom and my fiance, and we talked about other things. After dinner and a great conversation, I sat down with my headphones on, turned on a song that was completely different, and asked myself what I wanted to make. The next morning, I looked over my results and ended up scrapping a 1,300-word chapter, but I re-wrote that chapter with an alternate version of those results. The moral is that, whether it's good or bad, epic or dud, write. Don't think, don't ask questions, just write. We can't always write the best things, but you're the only one who sees your failures and laugh about them. If you only walk away with one thing, make it this: You can't edit or re-write something that was never written in the first place.(less)

Sequel

Being within ten chapters of finishing the sequel to my first novel, I have worries and excitement practically spilling from my ears. As much as I loved writing the first book, it was such a different book from the one I'm almost finished with. I think there were more cliffhangers, a lighter tone throughout, and, honestly, the scope was drastically smaller.

This is not to take anything from the seq Read more of this blog post »
