There’s an interesting thing that happens when you transcribe a (very) rough draft onto your computer: two different sides of your writerly self seem to develop, the good and the bad. There are moments when your fingers fly over the key, bringing up lines that blow you away. Then, there are moments where you have…

I have become consumed by my writing. For the most part, this is a good thing. An excellent thing. This is the reason why I quit my job, so that I could once again be infused with the passion of creating that I used to have, that has gotten buried under the minutiae of a…

“‘Run away, child,’ answered her mother, ‘and catch the sunshine! It will soon be gone.’” “The Scarlet Letter” by Nathaniel Hawthorne Anyone who knows me particularly well knows I’m a huge Hawthorne fangirl.
