America’s Emerging Writers

A few months ago, I mentioned I had been selected for Z Publishing's Emerging Writers project, which is pretty exciting as it is. A few weeks ago, I received an email from their main offices again; this time, they were spearheading a best-of anthology of all of their selected writers, and compiling them into America's Emerging … Continue reading America’s Emerging Writers →

NORDISCO: Chapter One Excerpt

So it's more than crunch time on my book progress. I have to finish the manuscript, format it, and submit it to editors. I have been woefully behind on my Indiegogo, but that won't be the case much longer. I had turned 31 the day before. Two years prior, on the morning of my 29th birthday, I … Continue reading NORDISCO: Chapter One Excerpt →

Trying a new thing: WordAds

I recently took up an opportunity to upgrade my WordPress account, which includes a basic monetization package with WordAds. It's still a new player from what I gather and is mostly a plugin that is partnered with Google AdSense. I'm going to try and see how it goes with having these ads up for awhile. … Continue reading Trying a new thing: WordAds →

There's a reason I chose Indiegogo versus just purchasing an ecommerce package (which I will cover later). Legit y'all...the ebook is $3 and a single … Continue reading Shameless Self-Promotion: My First Book! →

Dear Millennial and Gen-Z Straight, White, Cis Men

There are several reasons for it, but they boil down to that I am too fed up and exhausted to yammer on here when I am working on my own projects and day job full time. Things are just too much, much too much right now. We … Continue reading Dear Millennial and Gen-Z Straight, White, Cis Men →

Quora Question: How many more careers would you try if humans lived longer or were immortal?

Quora is an interesting platform that I can't help but get sucked into. It's the same concept as ye olde Yahoo Asks, but the company strives for better-written and cultivates stronger, more original content from qualified individuals. In April this year, I was invited into their Top Writers program, and then I recently received an … Continue reading Quora Question: How many more careers would you try if humans lived longer or were immortal? →

Trauma Doesn’t Have a Timeline

My first memory isn't of snuggles and the unmistakable scent of Mom. I don't remember vague warblings of lullabies. Later, in my early childhood years, I can recall playing with friends at daycare, frozen yogurt with my mother, and the first days of kindergarten. December 18 is my Cali-versary, as I call it. The day I hopped … Continue reading Trauma Doesn’t Have a Timeline →
