I've noticed on Twitter recently a lot of authors talking about the challenges of being a writer. Myself not being "officially published", I never feel it appropriate to share my own thoughts on the matter. (At least, not on Twitter.) Though there have been many times on this blog I've mentioned how life gets in the way, if I were a reader of my own material, such mentions, excuses, and complaints would grow stale and eventually irritating. "We get it. It's hard. Life sucks. Move ...

Don’t Give Up
My heart palpitates as my finger hovers over the SEND button, my palm clammy with a sudden burst of perspiration. "This is it," flashes through my mind, and before I lose my nerve, I tap the screen. Expelling a heavy sigh from years of bent up disappointment, frustration, and whatever minuscule amount of hope remains, I lean back in my chair to relax my racing heart.

That happened to me this past weekend. Two months ago, I sat in on a class about modern Jewish Literature, ...

Tonight being the first free evening I had in too long, I felt the need, the longing, the itch to write. Something. Anything. Over the holidays, I tried my best to relax, breathe, have little to no commitments, and ...
Patreon Launch!
Okay, so I know in my recent update, I said things are on pause. This might seem like a contradiction, but if you've been reading my blog long enough (or if you know anything about INFJs), you know I'm full of contradictions. The pause hasn't ended, but then again, it only affects certain facets of this project. Meaning, I'm not relying on anyone to update my poorly neglected Patreon page other than myself, which by the way, I've updated it. FINALLY. Remember how pathetic it was? Yeah, ...
