So. I couldn't think of anything to blog about today, so I decided that I'm going to play favorites...meaning, I'm going to list my top three of everything. Well, some things. Here goes! TOP THREES NOVELS: 1 - The Hobbit, 2 - Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, 3 - Harry Potter and… Continue reading Playing Favorites

Short and…Sweat?
I'm going to make this week's post short and sweet (or, as a childhood friend would write: Short and sweat.) Writing has happened, folks. It took two days, but I wrote over 1,000 words. Very grateful for everyone's prayers and support. And God's. I really credit Him with helping me A LOT. I've also been… Continue reading Short and…Sweat?
Hungry
There's something terrifying about starting a new blog post. I mean, half the time I don't know what I'm going to write about when I sit down. *GULP* And it's never more terrifying than when you're overcome with doubts in other areas. WRITER'S BLAH. So, what have I been doing about it? I've been feeding… Continue reading Hungry
A Drop of Empathy
I read a thought-provoking meme yesterday about alcohol. About how it ruins lives when used in excess and to numb the pain. It was very cleverly-worded, and I wish I could remember what it said verbatim, but that was the gist. In my book Circus in a Shot Glass (out on submission), the main character… Continue reading A Drop of Empathy
Cultivating Faithfulness…ugh
So, I'm a Christian. And a writer. Here's what I'm learning: (Psalm 37:3) Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. This wasn't from the sermon this past Sunday, though it does strike me as being similar. See, we were reading from this book called Ecclesiastes, written by… Continue reading Cultivating Faithfulness…ugh
IF = A Four-Letter Word
So, this blog post has almost zero to do with that ^ title. Haha. April fools! No, I'm going to show you what it would look like if I had a live Patreon page. Ready? My name is Beth, and today I was told I was brave for being a writer. The funny thing? I… Continue reading IF = A Four-Letter Word
3 WIPs, 3 Openings
Last week, I mentioned that I have three main works-in-progress. Here are the rough openings to each: WIP #1: Aidan cut his hand and watched his blood pool in the inkwell. WIP #2: Humanity’s inhumanity is what drove Aristotle to the mental ward. WIP #3 (the roughest of all): Some days, it would be nice staying invisible. For… Continue reading 3 WIPs, 3 Openings
I’ve Got a Lot of Writin’ to Do
Anyone else getting bogged down by how much work they have to do? With me, it's to the point where I don't quite know what to work on first. For times like these, it's good for me to have around three projects to go back and forth between, so that progress is made and not… Continue reading I’ve Got a Lot of Writin’ to Do
My Beats
Right now (not at this very moment, because, well, I'm writing this blog post) I am writing a high fantasy novel and fighting the never-ending battle for the keyboard with The Cat (that is a war that is raging on as I type this.) For every battle, there must be strategy, strength, stealth, an appropriate… Continue reading My Beats
Be That Person
Do you have a cheerleader in your life? I don't mean someone who puts on a tight uniform and shouts "Rah! Rah! Rah!" at sporting events. Nope. The person I'm talking about asks you questions about yourself. Tells you that you can do it. Is excited for you. Sympathizes with you over "failures" and setbacks.… Continue reading Be That Person
