I was going through some advertising material that I had spun up a few months back for my novel and stumbled across an interesting topic that focused on our mirror reflections. In my novel, there is a character named Jeffrey, who had recently discovered a mirror for the first time. Jeffrey seeing himself for theContinue reading “One’s Mirror Reflection”

Sometimes Reality is the Nightmare to Our Dreams
Short and sweet. From my upcoming novel, The Creature of Humanity.
Let’s Connect on The Bones of Knowledge
I am new to the blogging world, so I am writing this to encourage participation. I am hoping to create some new friends and connections. There are no wrong answers. The idea is to name as many elements that enable us to gain knowledge in some way, shape, or form. With that being said, oneContinue reading “Let’s Connect on The Bones of Knowledge”
Failure is The Natural Ebb and Flow of Life
Failure is the seven-letter word that no one wants to experience. Unless, of course, you’re playing the game Scrabble, then it is a welcomed guest being worth 10 points, not too shabby. However, if one stops and thinks about the other positives that come from failure, maybe it wouldn’t be considered so bad after all.Continue reading “Failure is The Natural Ebb and Flow of Life”
The Awesomely Artistic Autistic and The Whispers of The Heart
My oldest son is an autistic nine-year-old who is primarily non-vocal. He did something not too long ago that tugged on the heartstrings. He is considered highly functioning but still struggles to articulate his wants and needs. While we can get the occasional one-word responses from him, full sentences are far and few. AContinue reading “The Awesomely Artistic Autistic and The Whispers of The Heart”

They all offered good advice, ultimately similar advice such as “what does your gut tell you to do?” and “just listen to the little person on your shoulder.”Continue reading “Surely You Jest!”
Bark Back at The World
“The world will bark back at you, Elias. Do you cower in fear, fall in-line, or do you bark back and maybe take a bite out of the world? What makes you is how you react to that bark.” This is the advice given by an older character trying to motivate another character to continueContinue reading “Bark Back at The World”
Rise Up and Turn Your Head Toward The Storm
2020 was such a crazy and yet interesting year for me. I have mentioned in previous blogs that I wrote my first novel. It took a lot of mental preparedness to finally push myself to achieve this goal, but it has been well worth it. One of the most exciting parts of creating my novelContinue reading “Rise Up and Turn Your Head Toward The Storm”
Seed of Hope
Something that was always on my list of things to do finally came to fruition this year. I published my very first novel. There was such a range of emotions when the release date approached. The best way to sum it up was a rollercoaster of emotions. I would go from being nervous and mutteringContinue reading “Seed of Hope”
Do you remember our first night together?
I always loved coming up with poems on the fly. One night, the below poem came to mind. I call it “Do you remember our first night together?” Little did I know that this poem served as a foreshadowing of sorts for the love that two characters shared in a novel that I wrote. TheContinue reading “Do you remember our first night together?”
