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. I've only just sent the beginnings of my revisions for my manuscript to a friend for review. She read the first dreadful, ...

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.

What’s New
Well, here we are! Yes, this is it. This is all I've been leading up to for the post month and longer. While at a first glance it might not seem like a lot, what you'll soon come to find in the next few days, weeks, and hopefully months are the steps I'm taking in pursuing this career of writing full-time. (For more information on what I mean by this, check out my more in-depth post here.) That said, here's what's new and what will be coming in the near future: New self-hosted ...
