Tumblr Post #14 (April 2017) So I’ve been in a weird place for the past few weeks regarding my relationship with this novel. If I had to describe this place, it’d have to be somewhere between questioning my abilities and credentials as a writer and questioning why this story is even being written in theContinue reading “Nobody Asked for This”

Tumblr Post #13 (February 2017) I’m not petty. Though to be honest, recent events have definitely made me consider switching over to dark side—to give in to the power of the forces that be and let the pettiness overtake my body in a fiery, triumphant glow. I’d walk around like Peter Parker in Spider ManContinue reading “No Cheetos Allowed”

Tumblr Post #12 (January 2017) A while back, I had a conversation with a dear friend of mine regarding the main character of this novel. In the midst of discussing her in relation to the twists and turns of various plot points, other characters and back stories, I began to question who this book is really about.Continue reading “Ain’t Nobody Coming to See You, Otis!”

Tumblr Post #11 (January 2017) I’ve written two or three versions of the same blogpost over the past few months, but have been hesitant to post it. Well…I’m not sure if I would say hesitant because that would imply that it was finished and that I was satisfied with what I was trying to say.Continue reading “Back to Basics”

Tumblr Post #10 (October 2016) And not one of them is my own. But that of Sage…and Jerry… and Columbia… and June… and David.

It’s hard for me to write down their words and it’s hard for me to quiet oneContinue reading “I’m Hearing Voices”

Tumblr Post #8 (July 2016) Imagine a brand new mother who has spent nine months gestating a child in her womb and even longer raising this child outside of it. She nurtures it, tells it where to go and what not to do, and spends intimate quality time with it day in and day out.Continue reading “The Babysitter”

Tumblr post #7 (June 2016) They say that there is power in both the tongue and the pen. Speak it until it comes into existence. Write it down so that it becomes a personal contract for you to oblige. In doing so, you have power over it and are no longer leaving it up toContinue reading “Manifesting the Glow-Up”

Tumblr Post #6 (June 2016) Perhaps it’s a testament to my character that I try my best not to hurt anyone’s feelings or intentionally make someone upset to the point of tears. Why? Because that makes me feel like a pretty crappy human being. And I don’t know about you, but I have my ownContinue reading “Worth the Investment”

Tumblr Post #5 (May 2016) Yes, it’s a Lemonade reference. Sue me. But I found it quite a fitting and finally witty title for today’s post. But this entry has more to do with the men in my life and less with the traditions, good or bad, that they uphold. As with the rest ofContinue reading “In the Tradition of Men in My Blood”
