I recently shared 2 posts, that were deeply personal. I posted these pieces because a fan of my work asked me to write my “origin story,” so that people would get an idea of the things that I have experienced. This was a mistake on my part. It was never my intention to make anyone … Continue reading Public Apology
Project Update: By The Stars and Trees
As of today, I have reached 40,000 words of 80,000 words on my MFA thesis novel! I was intending on starting the thesis courses this summer.

This morning on Twitter, I offered to my followers and the Writing Community a teaser chapter from my thesis novel By the Stars and Trees.

The music that helps me write
I tried posting a video of my music playlist, but Twitter and Facebook have made that difficult. Social media doesn't always cooperate.

The Hardships of being Transgender
Life as we know it is a journey full of obstacles and tribulations, one trial after another. We accept this as just a common knowledge fact, without bothering to question it.

Inspired Writing
First-time writers often ask "what inspires a writer to write?" It's the question that I get a lot, but rarely have a genuine answer for. It's not that I go out of my way to avoid answering them, but the answer isn't as clear cut. Inspired writing is a tricky thing, many writers don't believe … Continue reading Inspired Writing

Trying to find a wider range of readers of a story is hard, without going into a whole tirade on logistics and technical babble speak, I had to make an executive decision. I had been sharing chapters of The Patron God of Fools on WriteSpike for a few months, and it never occurred to me … Continue reading Moving from WriteSpike to Wattpad
