Twitter
I deleted my twitter account this morning, and I gotta say, I feel pretty good about it. I had the account for 10 years, but really been active on it for the past 4, because of the wonderful Writing Community. I’ve made real-life friends, critique partners and I even traditionally published some short stories (something I thought I’d never do). I will be forever grateful to the people I’ve engaged with on a regular basis. Those of you who’ve supported me, inspired me, encouraged and helped. I love you all, truly. Read more…

2020 part II
We made it to July!!! So, we’re halfway through this shitty year and I can honestly say, it ain’t looking too good for part 2. But, we can still be great. I like to think of myself as a positive person, a few levels short of optimism, but I’m all about good energy and spreading love and joy and greatness (ugh, I’m babbling…I hope you follow what I’m trying to get through).

Superwriter’s 10 Writing Tips
I love writing, but I really hate blogging. Hate is a strong word–I strongly dislike it, lol. It just always feels like I’m rambling most of the time, kinda like now. SMH. But more than a few people have asked me about my approach to writing. How I write so fast, where I get my ideas, what motivates me, etc. So, here is my ten writing tips or suggestions, because I don’t see myself as some sort of guru that urges you to practice what I preach. No, no, no, no. But these are things that I live by. Read more…

But in all seriousness, to all the writers out there struggling to create, I feel your pain. You are not alone. These are trying times and it is much harder to find the time and/or peace to sit down and do what you love. This virus cuts deep at our soul and threatens our positive energy. I understand.

Writing Prompts: Natural Disasters
Natural Disasters Are you in between stories? Are you having trouble finding the next world you’d like to explore, characters you’d like to meet? Everyone is different when it comes to ideas. Inspiration comes for us all in different, mysterious ways. For me, all it takes is a simple thought which pulls me to the notepad to jot it down. In that moment, that thought grows into an idea, and then a world and then Marlon and his gang of ragtag friends are blowing shit up, saving the world. Lol. Read more…

Happy Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary with Wordpress.com! is the notification I received over the weekend. Anniversary? What Anniversary? 8 year anniversary – since I’ve joined Wordpress. Yikes. Hadn’t realized it’d been that long, seeing that I’ve only been really active since January 2019. But I won’t argue with it. If it’s been 8 years, it’s been 8 years. I’m a writer, in my bones, in my blood. It is what I was born to do. Read more…

Writing Prompts: Sci-Fi
Science Fiction Clichés A few times a month, I’ll explore some of my more ambitious story ideas with a short story. Genres I’ve never written before with plotlines and characters that are way out of my league. But this is why I write them, to develop my skill. Some of them are good, some okay, some trash. But I’m a writer, I am writing. What do professional athletes do when the season is over? Kick back, relax, vacation—yeah, maybe, a little, but they’re back to grinding, making themselves better, months before the new season even begins. Read more…
