Next Steps!
Hello! Long time no see! So, I'll just get into it. I have been away due to some new changes! I'm back in school, specifically studying Creative Writing. The first step for me in my education is to get an associates in Creative Writing before I move on to a university to major in writing for TV and Film. This is a very exciting part of my journey! I've been working hard to improve my writing, through school and by taking various classes outside of school. I would highly recom

Set the tone for writing
Hello everyone! Today I want to discuss what settings I like to surround myself with when I’m writing. I believe the setting a person chooses when writing can play a significant role in their writing process, or at least it does for me. However, I don’t always need the perfect lighting or playlist to dip into my creative side, but I do prefer to set the tone when I can. So, I’ll start with how I like things to look. If it’s late at night, turn off the lights, light a candle,

Growing as a Writer
Hey there! It’s been way too long. Life has been pretty hectic for the past few months, keeping me from uploading anything to my website. I am planning to make posting a higher priority, so I’ll start things back up with this post: Let’s jump in! I’ve learned so much about craft and different techniques I apply to my writing, sometimes through failure.

Writing With a playlist
I’ve got a question for all my fellow writers out there! How many of you play music while you write? Is it lyrical? Instrumental? Lo-fi?

Done with Writer’s Block
Hello everyone, So, something I have struggled with over the past few months is starting to ease up. I have been battling severe writer’s block. Every time I’d open my laptop or a journal to attempt writing anything creative, I couldn’t even find the words to write a single sentence. I’d stare at the screen or paper until I gave up. At one point, I even worried I’d never get out of my slump. I debated whether I needed to drop the dream of writing, given how hard it was to wri

The Beginning
Hello! I'm Lee and this is my first ever post on a blog. I guess I'll do a little "get to know me" post. I am 26 years old, and I have enjoyed writing, and discovered it was a passion of mine about five years ago. I do not have any published work, but I hope that one day that changes. My favorite genres to write are thrillers, action, and romance. I have a lot of work to do to improve my skills, but I actively take part in classes and workshops to do so. I'm even considering
