The stories, thoughts, and ramblings of an ADD author.
Hangovers are Hell Laura sat there still fuzzy about what happened the night before. She knew she had kept an eye on her drink and never walked away without taking it. She always put her hand over it when she looked away. She did everything right. So how did she wind up in a dark… Continue reading Just My Luck: Chapter One

If… Continue reading Chronicle of a Teenage Werewolf: Chapter Two
Mythos and Krylos It is time to cover the Northwesternmost part of Galena. Scholars, traders, and more can be found here. These towns are also the last stops before you enter the Desert of Woes. Krylos Once an island used only for hunting and stashing goods, the isle of Krylos became the home to the… Continue reading The Scholars and The Scallywags
I warned you. The updates are coming and they will keep coming. This is how I hold myself accountable, and how can follow my chaotic and ADHD writing style. You get to see the plot points and character "sketches". So, strap yourself in, and let's get to it. My first NaNo project was completely off… Continue reading Starting to Plot It Out

This is what I fondly call… Continue reading Denver Character Dump

We all have lessons we learn as we traverse through the stages of our lives. We all have ambitions, dreams, and aspirations. We all work toward them. We all stumble. We all fall. We sometimes look to others when we fail, not for help but for blame. We cannot control the actions of others. We… Continue reading Writing Prompt: Control
As a self-published author, I can not tell you the number of times I have stared at my own novel and my brain drew a blank. I mean, you should know how your own story goes, right? You SHOULD know the plot, how the characters are going to react, and where you should go from… Continue reading Writing Prompt: Twirl
