It's when you're at your highest that you have the farthest to fall. I'm not good at recognizing wins or celebrating my victories—a fact I've been trying to make myself more aware of over the years, so I can rectify it. In fact, I've written about it here on my blog several times. Losses seem... Continue Reading →
Creative Loss
What would you do if you lost all your creative powers? My wife - whom I love dearly and wish to spend the rest of my life with - left me yesterday. No, not in an emotional sense; only physically. You see, we live apart for the time being. It's because of this job I... Continue Reading →
How To Be Creative When Living Apart
It's been three days since my wife left - and I'm just about starting to get comfortable with it again. For those of you who don't know, my wife and I live in different places. Or, well, I live in a different place. For work. She lives back home, (where we both technically live), and... Continue Reading →
Living Apart and Staying Productive
A few weeks ago I tweeted about my wife going back home. You see, we live apart (we have for a while) and because of Covid-19 we got to spend a lot of time together because she basically became stranded where I live. Those tweets always gets loads of response, which is really sweet. I... Continue Reading →
Covid-19 Update

It's short and to the point, discussing the what, why, how of GMC: Goal, Motivation and Conflict. It's all you need to tell a good story, it's what going to make your characters come alive...

New Year, Same Opportunities!
I got to say, I hate the holidays. I always think I'll have more time, to write, to read, to do stuff in general and it never fails to backfire. I should know this by now, but I keep forgetting every year. This time, I feel like it's taken me particularly long to get back... Continue Reading →
NaNoWriMo Update & Doing New Things!
Let's just rip the band-aid off quickly, shall we? I haven't written nearly enough for my NaNoWriMo project this year. Considering it's already the 14th, and I've barely scratched the bottom of 12.000 words, I'm not hopeful about "winning". Last year, I did it all in a week, and though I wasn't planning on doing...

My Monthly Writing Schedule
One of the best places to be a writer is Twitter. No joke. I love it not only to find cool books, meet new people, and talk about the books we love, but also because it's a great place to brainstorm with like-minded people. One thing we talked about a little while ago was working... Continue Reading →
