New Year, New Blog, New…Unsure
Happy Belated New Year, Everyone! By belated, I mean one month off, but still. Roll with it. January was an exciting month. I graduated with my master’s in creative writing from Wilkes University. I spent a week with my cohort and debated where my future should be – should I finish my book or pursue…

Missing the Boat and Waiting for Next Year
If you read the title and thought, “What does that even mean?” allow me to explain. First and foremost, context. This semester, the final one for my master’s in fine arts, I have focused entirely on screenwriting. My last degree concentrated on fiction, and I felt less than thrilled by the end of that program.…

This Month in the Hobby World
Happy Friday, All! The last month has been a little busier than anticipated, what with the school semester starting, NovaOpen2024, and catching a cold (fun!), so apologies for the terrible scheduling with the blog posts. Since preparing to move earlier this year (and, you know, moving), my writing schedule has been mostly consumed by a…

The Agent Search & Screenwriting
Happy Wednesday! Remaking a Substack account has inspired me to write a quick lil blog post, so here it goes. This last month has been a busy month of writing, revising, and blankly staring at the wall above my computer screen. I finished the third full (FULL) draft of my horror novel, The Exorcist Archives.…

Finally Home
Happy Friday—Long Time, No Write! It’s been a rollercoaster for the last two months, much of which was consumed by home-buying, packing, moving, and unpacking, each item being its own varied amount of stress and fun. But now, we are (mostly) unpacked and settled in at our new home. It’s a strange feeling owning a…

Writing Reflections
Happy Friday, folks! Yet another week was consumed by our recent house-offer-purchase…thing. I’d say “us buying a house,” but technically, that hasn’t happened yet. Fun! We had our inspection, and it went A-Okay. There were some small things, but nothing that a trained professional or two can’t fix. But in all this house hunting, offering,…

Movie Day: The Lord of the Rings
Hello, and Happy Friday! Today, I wanted to write about one of my favorite films (slash trilogies): The Lord of the Rings. Recently, at the recommendation of my screenwriting mentor, I began listening to a great podcast, What Went Wrong. In each episode, Lizzie Bassett and Chris Winterbauer discuss, well, what went wrong with pretty…

Revisions, Revisions, Revisions
Happy Friday, All! This week’s blog will be a bit shorter, but that’s because I am trying to keep on top of some of my projects. Recently, I purchased a set of boards from The Container Store (yes, they sell more than overpriced plastic bins. Who knew?) in an attempt to corale the mess that…

Cat Tales: Meet Pomegranate
Happy Friday, everyone! No games or movies today, only very important topics. With that out of the way, meet Pomegranate! Pomegranate (formerly known as Mama Cat) has been in our neighborhood since shortly after we moved in. Why was that her old name, you might be asking? Well, she was very plump for a stray…
