Someone asked me recently about the type of writing I do. Naturally, this got me thinking about genres. There was a point in time where all I wrote was fantasy and science-fiction, perhaps with a little bit of surrealism mingled in there. Then I went to college, and genre fiction such as that was frowned…

I’m a little bit behind in the page count for the novel this month, mostly due to forgetting my notebook at work for a few days, but I’m catching up and I have no doubt that I’ll get back on the right foot today. The only problem with it so far, though, is that I…

I can’t help wondering if working on this blog and keeping my imagination charged and excited about writing as it tends to do is what’s leading me to remember my dreams better and to, in general, have such vivid dreams in the first place. Last night, there was one dream, but it felt like two,…

I had a bothersome dream last night where I was inexplicably back in college and pregnant. My college campus was more of a mix between both Mt. Pleasant and Traverse City, and there was quite a bit of bike riding and strange artistic structure made of underwear. I have a few ideas on the psychosis…

I’ve commented on this phenomenon not too long ago, but I love the fact that, with writing, the adage of “when it rains, it pours” seems to apply equally well. These last few days, if you’ve been following along, I’ve been dedicating myself to sitting my butt down and just writing some of the monthly…

So, yesterday, I did what I knew would be beneficial and what I’ve been talking about doing for the past few days in this blog, and, sure enough, I was correct. Not wanting to get too entrenched into anything before I had to leave for work, I shut off the computer, pulled out my notebook,…
