  • Preparing for NaNoWriMo

    October tends to be the month of preparation for me when it comes to National Novel Writing Month. However, I never go into too much depth when I plot. Mostly because all I need is the main idea of the plot since the finer details of how the plot is implemented depends on the characters…

  • National Novel Writing Month is next month!

    I’ve participated every year in NaNoWriMo, but I’ve only completed it twice.  Mostly I use it as a way to encourage me to write daily again. To force myself into a pattern. This will last for a few months afterward, until life disrupts my patterns and I have to start all over again. A never-ending…

  • Paper Mache Planet Update!

    Finally! I have succeeded in determining a way to paint my planet. This is the first batch of paint — it will need at least two if not three coats of acrylic paint – and there is some pieces of continent in the southern hemisphere and three islands in the northern hemisphere that have yet…

  • Facing the Truth

    I sunk into the soft blue cushions on Toni’s sofa, my left leg crossed under me and my right stretched out toward the shag carpet. Her brown eyes held a bit of sparkle, that hint of a smile that reached down to the edges of her lips. “If you could do anything, what would you…

  • What I desire

    I have some projects that I need to finish on this blog, and I apologize for the leave of absence. I’ve been busing sorting my life, trying to find a job to pay the bills, so I can go back to creating and updating and writing again. In the meantime, I wrote this today and…

  • A Single Story

    I recent TED Talk I found really spoke to me.  Chimamanda Adichie is from Nigeria, and she speaks about the danger of a single story, where she relates how a single story of Africa has caused grave harm and a critical misunderstanding about the huge diversity of people and cultures within Africa.  There are many…

  • Elivera Cultural Studies 1

    I’ve been working on another project, where I record songs from my Elivera Universe. Below is the start of this series. Enjoy! Elivera Cultural Studies This current study concerns the Eagrok people of the continent of Vera. In the temperate regions of the continent, the trees are nearly a kilometer high and several kilometers at…

  • Power in Words?

    I am a writer.  However, sometimes I sit at my desk and stare at the screen, my thoughts fluttering about in a disarray.  I begin to have doubts about my abilities, my life, and what meaning I even hold to anyone, let alone myself.  I begin to shrivel up and cower away from words, like…

  • How I craft a language Part 1

    Note: This will be the first in a series. I apologize for how late this is coming out. I had a health issue that was paramount, and now that has cleared up, I will be returning to writing in this blog once a week. Thank you for your patience! Whenever I create a language, I…

  • Revelations

    Arms held out, one foot in front of the other, I balance on a wire, high above the ground.  A breeze brushes my curls from my eyes, the smell of pine teasing my nostrils.  Where do I walk?  The canyon below is long, the river a crushing, raging roar that echoes back and forth across…
