I talked to my best friend recently about how I was feeling regarding this project. Truth be told, my brain is kinda bored at all the scenarios I could come up with. I had thought that writing out the little pieces would have made it easier to write the story. But I keep coming up… Continue reading Day 24 of Write a Book in 45 Days Challenge

Day 23 of Write a Book in 45 Days Challenge
There is a lot to say about the reasons behind writing a book. Maybe it is out of curiosity that we write, other times it is out of necessity because no one else is writing the story. That's the funny thing, even if no one is writing a story like you, someone has had the… Continue reading Day 23 of Write a Book in 45 Days Challenge
Day 22 of Write a Book in 45 Days Challenge
I almost didn't write this tonight. I had two breakdowns today and I am exhausted. Most days, I really just want this story to just finish itself.

Day 21 of Write a Book in 45 Days Challenge
I want to tell you something about things I wish I had known when creating this book. Sure, the list will be bigger and more comprehensive at the end of the project. Create a character list and have at least a small description of what the person looks like, their age, past trauma, goals, arcs,… Continue reading Day 21 of Write a Book in 45 Days Challenge
Day 20 of Write a Book in 45 Days Challenge
There is a beauty in being stuck. Yeah, it sucks most days, but sometimes, it allows you to find what it feels like to write without expectations.

Day 18 of Write a Book in 45 Days Challenge
I think I have found my calling. It is problem-solving. Lately, I have been thinking about what story I should tell and how to tell it. Maybe I just needed to believe in myself and the vision I have with this story. Short post today, because I need to go make dinner. So what did… Continue reading Day 18 of Write a Book in 45 Days Challenge
Day 17 of Write a Book in 45 Days Challenge
Rewriting is an act of the gods, and baby, I am about to ascend to godhood. I realized that my novel in progress needed to take a different direction. The characters were losing their individual voices. I was losing my patience, which isn't saying much because I do not consider myself a patient person. But… Continue reading Day 17 of Write a Book in 45 Days Challenge
Day 16 of Write a Book in 45 Days Challenge
I might have to do a full rewrite. Sitting at my desk for the past few hours, I reread what I have written so far. It feels like none of it is actually the way the story needs to go. Sure, I did talk some of it over with an acquaintance, and she agreed that… Continue reading Day 16 of Write a Book in 45 Days Challenge
A Short Story: He Had It Coming
I have never thought of myself as a killer. Blood made me queasy, and I even failed college biology because I wouldn’t dissect the frog for the assignment. I clearly remember running from the lab to go empty my guts. I didn’t make it to the bathroom or trashcan in time. Not only that, but… Continue reading A Short Story: He Had It Coming
