How To Restart A Writing Habit After Falling Off
I haven't written in weeks. I probably couldn't tell you how many days or weeks it's been. This would be the first article in a while.

Why You Hate Your Draft While You're Still Writing It
I deleted 800 words from my new novel yesterday. I didn't go on a deletion spree because they were unsalvageable. And it wasn't because I'd taken the wrong approach.

Kaelos and Lyla
It was a hot steamy day in Ancient Greece, a city known for its art and marble quarries. The heat is intense and the air smells of dust and olive oil. My name is Kaelos and I carve statues. Statues from gods, to normal people, to animals, bugs whatever you can think of I do. I left at 18 to pursue my passion, sometimes it gets lonely but I pour everything I have into my work and they pour back. Im commissioned by the wealthy cruel merchant to carve a statue of the “Perfect Maiden”. I hate working for him, but I need the money so I accept the job.

How to W(h)in(e). Content Warning.
Jennifer Love Hewitt, the volume of complaining from allegedly grown folks is astounding. I’m especially intrigued by the idea that making the complaint rhyme makes it a poem instead of a thinly-veiled complaint, like there’s a prize for rhyming whining.

Take Off Your Prose!. Content Warning.
Welcome to the Temple of the Profane. I know, right? Whodathunk I’d ever encourage end rhyme? If it’s offensive, I’m okay with it. Grab a pint of Guinness or Jameson’s and don’t tell me “dirty limerick” is redundant. I’m well aware that if it isn’t dirty, it’s not a true limerick. But some people try to ruin a good time with some puritan Pollyanna bullshit every chance they get. I’ve read some clean limericks, and there’s something about them that’s more wrong than an olive in a Bloody Mary or a stalk of celery in a fucking martini. If I can figure out how, I’ll fine anyone who tries to sneak a clean limerick in here, and I’ll press criminal charges if sentimentality enters the equation. It has no place outside of Hallmark cards and movies, and we’re not dumbing down this room.

Blank Page
The page scared me. Not because it was empty— but because it knew what I was hiding. It waited without blinking. No judgment. No impatience. Just a wide, pale silence that reflected me better than any mirror ever had. I could lie to people. I could curate conversations, soften memories, sharpen excuses. But the page? The page didn’t ask questions. It simply asked me to be honest.

The Quiet Princess and the Prince Who Waited (Continue)
The night deepened softly, like the world itself was holding its breath. Moonlight spilled across the palace gardens, turning the marble paths silver and the roses into shadows of themselves. Somewhere far away, bells chimed the passing hour, slow and gentle, as if they too were reluctant to rush what was coming next.

Tapas
Tapas is a site that hosts graphic novels and regular novels. When I first started posting my novels there (that have zero illustrations aside from the cover), I thought that I wouldn't enjoy much success. Reading manga or manhwa is super fun, but I didn't believe for a second that people who enjoy graphic novels would be very interested in my books. I write science fiction, contemporary romance, urban fantasy, and fairy tales. However, my low expectations were exceeded and I got a few followers and a regular rise in my hits.

"The Lives We Carry Quietly"
I noticed them the way you notice someone without meaning to –when the room is too still and your mind starts counting small things. A waiting room has its own kind of silence, broken only by the hum of fluorescent lights and the shuffle of paperwork at the front desk. They sat a few chairs away, hands folded, eyes fixed on nothing in particular, as if they were trying not to take up space. There was a brief awkwardness in their eyes when another stranger entered.

Andreas Szakacs: Building Cinema With Precision, Purpose, and Creative Leadership
In a film industry often shaped by speed, visibility, and short-term momentum, Andreas Szakacs has taken a more deliberate route. His career as an actor, producer, and creative leader reflects a commitment to precision, intention, and sustained artistic development rather than constant exposure. Over time, this approach has positioned him as a figure increasingly associated with thoughtful storytelling, technical discipline, and collaborative leadership.
