Written and UnDone

Short story shares that I want to...share.

Depression isn't just a buzzword. It's also not something to be ashamed of. It is a roadblock, but not one that is unmovable. Managing it as a writer is the tricky part!

Being creative is something I take great pride in, but reality has gotten in the way of my imagination.

'The Sorceress': Progress? Or regress?

'The Sorceress' is a work in progress, although I've experienced a lot of hurdles, roadblocks, regression! I'm not giving up.

I hate not knowing how to start things. I’m pretty sure my brain is fried from the months prior, holidays taking up a lot of space mentally! A mental cleanse is needed–BIG TIME! That being said, welcome back to my neck of the woods. I’ve been mulling over how best to greet readers and sometimes I think I do a great job, and other times I feel like today: I don’t know what to say! The words are…

Short Story Time: "In A Heartbeat"

Happy Friday and good morning from my side of the world (SoCal to be somewhat exact)! Mercurial is in retrofit so things are a bit wacky (internet at my home is out, power is out…very peculiar), but I’ve been feeling…hopeful. Strangely enough. Slowly, creativity is starting to seep back into my veins little by little, my youngest is starting to get a bit more “independent” meaning he can go run…

Me, the night owl.

"Darkness brings forth the light in me so that I may share it with the world."

Owl perched in a tree at night under the light of a full moon. When I am… completely myself, entirely alone… or during the night when I cannot sleep, it is on such occasions that my ideas flow best and most abundantly. Whence and how these ideas come I know not nor can I force them. – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart It’s probably not the smartest nor healthiest thing to do–staying up late at night when…

In the Land of the Passionless

I’ve been VERY gone for a loooooooong minute. What kind of writer does that? And takes the most extended hiatus from their blog??? Me. I did that. And not without much shame either. I realized and stewed on this realization for quite some time. My last blog post was years ago. Years! However, I have some valid reasons for being away for so long. Let’s get into it, shall we? I had fallen into…

Short Story Time (Halloween Style): "If You Love Me..."

Short Story Time (Halloween Style): “If You Love Me…”

Ah, it’s that time again.

That time of year I love so much and that gathers me right on together. The time of year that I celebrate all year round anyway lol. Let’s be frank, Halloween is a lifestyle at this point, and I’m not the only one who thinks so, trust me!

I love October for that one day of year it gives us. It gives people permission to be something they’d normally be without the…

2020: The Movie/Book We Didn't Ask For!

2020: The Movie/Book We Didn’t Ask For!

It appears that we’ve been thrusted into the arms of a lover who is relentless with their abuse. Us poor, unsuspecting fools have been getting beat the hell up since late-February, early March with terrible news after terrible news. We have begged this lover to stop and go away but nope; again and again, they continue to show their face, restraining order be damned.

2020 is that lover. 2020 is…

Short Story Time: Red Moon

Short Story Time: Red Moon

Hey! Hey you, how are you? Doing good? Feeling fine? I hope so.

I’ve been on a rather lovely kick lately, and with good reason. All of the reading I’ve been doing has been serving me some good, and not just horror stories either. However, that doesn’t mean I can’t still write some horror, or just something suspenseful in the meantime.

I’ve also been very happy to see meetings with my…

Short Story Time!: "John About Town"

Short Story Time!: “John About Town”

Good evening, day, night, morning, afternoon! All of the things!

I hope you all have been doing swell! It’s been quite some time since I had posted a nice short story, so I think today is the best day to do that!

The quarantine/shut down of our country has been making so many creatives…well…less creative. I know I have been greatly affected in that way, but once I realized it shouldn’t stop…

Short Story Time!

Good evening, my darlings.

I know I’ve been away for quite some time, but I have been busy. And by busy I mean I’m working from home and helping my kiddo with his schooling from home. It has NOT been an easy ride, but…it also hasn’t been as bad either.

I have away, yes, but I also have something new for you. New and a little “disturbing”. I put in quotations because it’s not disturbing for…

2020: Clearer Vision Or Just Another Year?

2020: Clearer Vision Or Just Another Year?

Writing an article with hopes that it gets featured…whew!

I took a little hiatus–as I normally do–around the holidays because there’s family events to do and whatnot. Also because there were many other factors that jumped onto the scene, but some of them no longer seem to affect me the same way anymore. I’m out of the funk that “winter” (I put it that way because Cali doesn’t have a…

Writing Two Books? No Problem!!

Writing Two Books? No Problem!!

Good morning!!!

I have been typing away, scribbling on paper as well, regarding not only “The Sorceress” but another little novella that has been a side project. Just a little. Nothing crazy.

“Bela’s Bride” is my next piece, but I’m struggling with trying to decide if I should definitely make it a release, or just put it on here! Issue with putting it on this here blog is that it is way too…

I Let NaNoWriMo BEAT ME!

I Let NaNoWriMo BEAT ME!

Oh, my comrades! I’ve allowed myself to defeat myself via NaNoWriMo.

I went into it thinking ‘Yes, I’m going to reach my goal this time, I won’t let myself get taken down by the big, bad procrastination monster. Nope, not this time!’ and what happened? You guessed it. I let it eat me alive!

Now, now let’s not get carried away with talks of regret, stew in disappointment, wade in waters of…

The Hour is HERE!

The Hour is HERE!

With Halloween a mere few days away, the book I’ve been waiting to be released is now physical, and AVAILABLE!!!

‘Hell Hour: A Horror Anthology’ launched October 26th, and I don’t think anyone has been as excited as myself! I’ve been awaiting its arrival like Ned Stark was awaiting winter in GoT. Except this reception is not as ominous and deadly… at least I don’t think so. Maybe.

Almost That Time!!! HALLOWEEN TIME!

Almost That Time!!! HALLOWEEN TIME!

*breathes in* Do you guys smell that? No, not that pumpkin spice crap, I’m talking about the smell of new costumes and…wait, does Halloween even have a scent? Probably not. I tried!

Boils and ghouls, we are almost to the witching hour of All Hallow’s Eve! I can feel the excitement moving through me, but no one is more excited than my little monster. Of course he loves Halloween only because…
