Hello all! It appears that I have been challenged!
And I say: “Bring it on!” 🙂

Lol, okay – so maybe it wasn’t that kind of challenge, but still. I love a good challenge. 🙂
Hello all! Welcome to my fall update! 🙂
Hello all! 🙂
Lol, today is a day of many posts for me. Because of the transition in my job, I havn’t been able to keep up with my blogging as well as I’d like, so this is just a tad late, but I still wanted to share it with you all. 🙂
Hello all! 🙂
I wanted to share a post about a topic that has haunted me. I have lost sleep over this. I have gone long periods of time without writing because of this one thing. This one terrifying thing.
It’s not spiders.
Oh no.
I speak of…. love scenes.
Hello all! It’s been a while since I’ve posted links or reviews for writing resources – sorry about that. I’ll be getting back into that soon with a review of Bullies, Bastards, & Bitches: How to Write the Bad Guys in Fiction , by Jessica Page Morrell. I’m going through a transition with my day job, lol. Yeah, wish me luck with that one. 🙂
Small spiders. Heights. Durian. Bugs in general. Waking up at, or before, 5am. Shots. Big spiders. Deep water where I can’t see the bottom. Did I mention spiders?

There are very few things in this world that inspire the same level of horror in me… But this does.
Are you ready?? Brace yourself.
“Surrender… Or your people will suffer,” a distant voice said.
Like a muffled echo, Rina heard the sounds of battle. Metal striking metal. Explosive bursts of energy as spells clashed with each other. It filled her ears, growing in intensity. The dream changed around her, just long enough to afford a hazy glimpse of a Jiru’s throne room. And then it was gone, as quickly as it had come.
“What was that?” Rina said, a frown furrowing her brow as she glanced around. Everything was back to normal. She was standing under a tree, by a peaceful lake.
The man standing in front of her smiled gently, but seemed a little sad to her. “It’s fading,” he answered vaguely. Dark green eyes studied her face, before looking away. The sunlight made his shaggy brown hair shine with shades of red. “My time is almost up.” He sighed, returned his gaze to her, and moved closer. Lifting a hand, he tucked a stray wisp of her long blonde hair behind her ear, then reached for her hand. “Distract me, naori. I am not ready to leave yet.”
Rina smiled. “This is my dream,” she said, entwining their fingers. “I say when you go.”
