I always found it interesting how one life can make a big impact. It’s like adding or removing a character from a story. You can drastically change the outcome. When it comes to celebrities, they impact a lot of people–millions of people–and they don’t always meet those people. Yes. I’ve been following the Johnny Depp/AmberContinue reading “My Johnny Depp Story”

Writers. Readers. We all have one. I dare you to share yours (or at least a part of it). What books are you reading? What books are you wanting to read? How long is your “To Read” list?

The Power of Words
If you’ve been following the News this week, you’d know that there’s a trial going on between two famous actors: Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.

My relationContinue reading “The Power of Words”
So Bad
Just the other night, I got to enjoy two episodes of Star Trek; Deep Space Nine. My mom and I watch it together and so far, we’re on season 3. One of the things I love about Star Trek is how it challenges you to think broader. The two episodes I watched the other nightContinue reading “So Bad”

For my non-writer friends, allow me to explain: Word count is kind of a big deal in the writing world–especially for debut authors. Agents and publishers wantContinue reading “Wow! What a Word Count!”
A Hero or a Villain?
Everyone is a hero in their storyAnd everyone is a villain as well. The villains think themselves the heroes and the heroes tell the villains “Go to h***” But whether a hero or whether a villain there’s something everyone should know. The heroes and villains are quite frankly just people with hurt they dare notContinue reading “A Hero or a Villain?”
In the Mirror
Take a look in the mirror. What do you do you see? Are you someone you like to be? Do you focus on the outside? Or does the inside matter more? Do you listen to others? Or just talk, talk, and bore? Do you put first your own heart? Or heed the hearts of others?Continue reading “In the Mirror”
