.My heart..My mind..My soul..My body. .Always..Beating faster at the sight of you..Lingering on thoughts of you..Craving to feel the closeness of you..Wanting to feel your touch. .Always..Fluttering at the memories..Dreaming of the possibilities..Feeling the energy surrounding you..Relaxing into the safety of your arms. .Always..In each heartbeat..Entangled in the memories..Tied to one another..Exploring possibilities and learning […]
.Let it happen..Let it hurt..Let it heal..Let it go..Let it grow. .Let them be..Let them live..Let them decide..Let them leave..Let them love. .Let yourself flourish..Let yourself cry..Let yourself learn..Let yourself try..Let yourself believe. .It’ll be hard..It’ll be okay..It’ll be painful..It’ll be beautiful..It’ll be honest..It’ll be yours. .It will all be what it’s meant to, as […]
When the days make you tired, and the noise gets too loud, sometimes you just need a good friend to help you drown it all out. When your heart skips a beat, and your hands shake too hard, and you need that extra breath but you can’t get it down. Sometimes all you need is […]
There is no way around the word. This is just where I am right now. I have been moving forward on my draft of A Deal with the Devil’s Daughter, but something feels like it is missing. I also feel like sometimes I am way too hard on myself when it comes to my creative […]
I wanted to share a little look into A Deal With the Devil’s Daughter! It has been a long wait, and what better way than to let the Devil’s daughter, Devia, tell you a little bit about her life. Enjoy this first look at A Deal With the Devil’s Daughter! -AB
I started that story as a prompt of the day. After the prompt it kept going. It became a short story project. Well… It has become a novel outline and first few chapters! I am starting my final semesters ready to continue my deep dive. It has grown and will continue to grow. It is […]
Taking care of yourself is the most important thing. If you don’t take care of yourself how will you take care of everything else in your life? I put everything and everyone else first for so long that I started to fall apart. I got to the point where I couldn’t even write because nothing […]
I never thought hard about the question to, “What would I study for fun?” And yet it was fun and easy to answer. I study mythology all the time on my own, but I never thought to switch it up like this. I found a favorite and have had a hard time switching to something […]
Let me start this by saying there are days where my thought process resembles that of a squirrel at a rave trying to talk to a duck, a pigeon, and a dog about things while dancing to the wrong beat, but it keeps on chugging so there is that. Maybe I should cut back on […]
I’m not really sure who started it. We think we remember things exactly as they were, but our minds play tricks on us. I can close my eyes and convince myself that the arguments were worth it. Every time things would start getting more and more intense we would fix things by not fixing them […]
I have been asked a few times recently about how to get in touch with other authors and people in the field by some fellow students. I felt like this would be a good time to cover that for anyone who would like some tips and tricks I have picked up. Hashtags: I use hashtags […]
This last week has been eye opening. I had a change in course education wise, I did not get the house that my friends and I originally wanted, but we did get the house of our renting dreams. I experienced many what just happened moments and moments that made me want to scream. I gave […]
The Greek gods have always ruled together, not necessarily in peace, and the world has kept moving forward. When personal relationships start to take a toll on the small ounce of peace left between them the war begins. Hades and Persephone have the Underworld running smoothly no matter what issues persist between them. They make […]
I have a few projects I am working on outside of class. I want to summarize them for you and let you know what is in the works! As things progress and I move forward I will give project updates as well. Eventually I hope to make each project a page of its own! Some […]
Sometimes things just eat away at you until they are on paper.
The past few months have been a whirlwind of confusion, stress, anger, pain, and a reset. After the car accident I was in I wasn’t quite sure how to sit here and write. I had a lot to say, but I wasn’t sure how to say it. My mind was a big mess. My memory […]
I am not going to lie… my current WIP started with a dream. (As most of mine do.) It is one of my favorite pieces i have ever written and can’t wait to share it… Anyway, last night I might have had a serious weird series of dreams that may or may not have been […]
