A Writer’s Crawl to Baby Steps
[Note: This is an old post from 2017 I forgot to publish] I’ve been frantically writing over the last few weeks/months. Thankfully, I caught the ‘inspiration wave’ and managed to surf for longer than usual. But, I think there’s an alternative explanation for why I’m still floating on the creativity wave: I took a new …
Plotting Helps Resume
A lot has changed since my last post. I study dentistry now — started September 2018. I didn’t write the whole year in dental school. Nor did I forget my story world. When the acceptance letter came in the summer of 2018, I was relived. I had a year off — unemployed — and I … Continue reading Plotting Helps Resume
Fire and blood
Halloween. The day I become a Valyrian princess. I hate watching children take what’s rightfully mine. If my parents bought it, isn’t the candy MINE?

When I experience Writer’s Block, lack of … Continue reading Writers Need Sleep

Wow, The Prisoner of Azkaban, when Snape walks in on Sirius Black, Lupin and Worm Tail. Literally the worse situation that could’ve … Continue reading Why J.K. Rowling is the BEST
Life, Writing, Story
Hi everyone, It’s been a while since I posted. Here’s an update: Personal life I applied to dental school this year, was waitlisted but didn’t receive final admission. Now I’m left with a year off. I could write full-time since I live with my parents (yes, I’m a 23-year-old parasite). However, it might be best if I … Continue reading Life, Writing, Story
Please Edit Your Book… =/
As I grow as a writer, I grow as a reader. (What comes first, the chicken or the egg?) However, I also recognize a third change, or variable: my patience. It grows thin for terrible writing. Teenage (North American) school girls would describe the phenomena as, “I can’t even!” Seriously. I just can’t. When I … Continue reading Please Edit Your Book… =/
