On being a domesticated loli…
Dear Diary, I came to a startling revelation the other day: I’ve become a domesticated loli. 🤯 Way back in my younger days (i.e., last year), I was all about clubbing, getting wasted, and having recreational sex with a small, select group of friends and exes. I wrote when the mood struck, but otherwise, I…
Read MoreStorytime…
Dear Diary, I have three things to write about this Diary entry: a writing progress report, a personal update, and a situation that embarrassed the living hell out of me. I’ll start with the writing progress report: I’ve done tons of it. My main focus is still on Nephilim: Prisoner, the sequel to Nephilim: Daybreak,…
Read MoreAgony and ecstasy…
Dear Diary, The agony and the ecstasy of writing a series… I never envisioned when I started writing the Nephilim pentalogy (five-book series) that I would have such a hard time sticking to it. The problem isn’t that I’m bored with the series or disenchanted in any way, but that I have so many other…
Read MoreBeing social on social media: a cautionary tale
Dear Diary, When I first created a social media profile back in 2015 (on Twitter, which also happens to be my favorite and the one I’m the most active on), I did so with a wide-eyed view of what social media really was. And yes, it really was my first social media account – before…
Read MoreInnocently being creepy and dancing like a drunk white girl having an epileptic seizure in a full body cast…
Dear Diary, So there I was, innocently being creepy and watching my big brother working out in his personal little mancave gym. My arms were crossed, and I was leaning against the doorframe, just standing there and thinking a million miles an hour (as usual) about Nephilim: Prisoner (book two of the Nephilim heptalogy and…
Read MoreAnxiety… and letting go.
Dear Diary, I’m not going to lie: last month was a hard month for me. I took the latter part of it off, largely secluding myself from the real and digital world to cocoon myself with love and positivity, and when I came back from my glorious vacation… I was hit with all kinds of…
Read MoreDon’t be a sea cucumber!
Dear Diary, Something most people know about me: I’m a sensitive person. Things can quickly get to my heart, often before I have a chance to filter them through my mind. Which means I’m quick to feel a whole bevy of emotions: anger, love, disappointment, elation, excitement, fear. Something you might not know about me:…
Read MoreThe hardest thing for me to do, changes, and finally getting to finish!
Dear Diary, I think the hardest thing to do as an author – and, if I’m being completely honest, as a person – is to focus on just one thing and see it through to completion. I always seem to get distracted by different projects, different stories, even when I’m neck-deep in working on one…
Read MoreWho I did during my vacation…*
Dear Diary, This year has, so far, sucked proverbial balls. I’ve gotten into a wreck, had a screaming match with a Medicaid driver (twice!), was hit by a strange sickness that caused my temperature to shoot up to 103°, had half a dozen arguments with the people closest to me, already broke one of my…
Read MoreAnne’s murderous vagina, outsourcing, and projectile vomiting!
Dear Diary, So, Anne’s vagina nearly killed me today. See, I was sitting at my writing station eating an orange, being the normal innocent halo-wearing angel I usually am. You know, editing erotica and watching adult videos for, uh, reference and stuff. And then out of nowhere Anne busts out with- “Pikachu said hi.” I…
