When you’re green, and people can tell you’re green, that’s when you start attracting the people who really do not want to help you – they want to rip you off to make money.

A Renaissance

It’s been a while. Let’s catch up. My last post was back in 2021, and I’m coming to you now in March 2023. A lot has happened in these past couple of years. I graduated college in May 2021, completed an internship with the PR Alliance in August, and got my first professional job with […]

Master of None (and that’s fine!)

I had a very short progression of dream jobs. At first I wanted to be an actress, since I was less than shy and loved the spotlight. Then, I wanted to be a writer; and I still do! However, around 6th grade, something about journalism caught my eye, and I’ve been in that boat ever […]

Lover of romance? Or…perhaps you like them all? Whatever the case may be, there are various ways to adjust your writing to cater […]

Storytelling Starts from the Bottom

Are you the type of person that thinks telling a compelling story is just something you can’t do? Believe me when I say you tell stories every day. As humans, we are inherent storytellers. Think about the last time you had a great conversation with someone. I’d be willing to bet you told a story of […]

What Does It Mean to Mean Something?

*Implant from a previous page. Originally written April 2020. Tried and true writer or not, I’m sure you’ve heard something along the lines of this at one point or another: Stories must have meaning, morals, or themes in order to be complete. I agree 100% – a good story makes you feel something and resonates […]
