On Feast, Famine, and Staying Hungry
November is an interesting month of abundance–the final harvest before the cold, bleak winter. We gain pounds, lose the leaves, and, of course, squeeze out a ton of words. That’s right, I’m talking about NaNoWriMo!
Writers of the Future
I've tried to write this blog post I don't know how many times in the weeks since the workshop, but it's been really hard to organize my thoughts. I think this is because the Writers of the Future experience covered an extremely broad spectrum of experience....

First!
For years blogspot was my website, blogger my platform. But something changed in my life recently to make me take my authorship more seriously, and it was time to finally migrate here, my own website. This is the first post on my new blog. I've decided to start fresh...
