My name is Erica and I love to tell stories. I'm a frequenter of coffee shops and left-handed scribbler with hometown connections in Chattanooga, TN and St. Augustine, FL. My writings range from short fiction, science-fiction, apocalypse imaginings, and a little philosophy here and there. I also write under the name Anna R. Kotopple.

You can access my first novel "Disarm," the sci-fi two-part work "Star Light, Star Bright," my zompocalypse novella "Timmad Dog," the philosophical demonic story of "The Adventures of Pickles and Bea," a tale of Death's assistant called "A Fate Worse Than Death," a heroic cat in outer space with "The Cat Chronicles," and a video game/dating adventure epic called "PHantastic Planet" on Amazon.

What's the plumber's block all about?" and I think this applies to writers as well. We all have days where the words just don't seem to want to work for us, but we can't resign ourselves to the cute condition of so called "writer's block." You are going to struggle to get your characters to say and do what you want them to. The best thing I have found is just to write something. Maybe it's a scene that's not going to be in the book, maybe it's a scene later down the road, and maybe it's something completely different like some free verse poetry. The point is, you are writing and your brain is working creatively in some regard, and that's going to be good for the process either way. (less)

Feel the Burn of Midnight Sun: A Book Review

Oh boy. Here I am, coming out of semi-retirement of writing book reviews, to comment on the latest from the Twilight Series.





Midnight Sun: What To Know About The Twilight Spinoff And What It Could Mean For A Future Movie - CINEMABLENDLong, soulful gazes + ANGST = Juicy immortal love triangle



At this point, you should make a choice on whether this type of thing is worth your reading time. I’m not here to slam the book, but neither am I here to gush over it. It’s more about conclusion of a book I knew I was

Ashly Lorenzana
“When you want to share something with another person more than anything, it is one of the most difficult things to realize that you can never have it. Accepting this realization is even more difficult. Loving someone does mean saying goodbye to them in some cases, though we will fight that until the oftentimes bitter end before doing the right thing.”
Ashly Lorenzana

Lev Grossman
“That was the thing about the world: it wasn't that things were harder than you thought they were going to be, it was that they were hard in ways that you didn't expect.”
Lev Grossman, The Magician King

Thich Nhat Hanh
“Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything - anger, anxiety, or possessions - we cannot be free.”
Thich Nhat Hanh, The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching: Transforming Suffering into Peace, Joy, and Liberation

Ray Bradbury
“Learning to let go should be learned before learning to get. Life should be touched, not strangled. You’ve got to relax, let it happen at times, and at others move forward with it.”
Ray Bradbury

Hermann Hesse
“We are not going in circles, we are going upwards. The path is a spiral; we have already climbed many steps.”
Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha
