172 years ago January marked the birth of The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe. Here's a crazy-weird drawing I did of the man himself and...well, study for yourself and see if you get any references/symbolism. There aren't many, so you won't be studying long 😉

Mourning, Trailers, & Epiphanies
Earlier this week--Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!--I had an epiphany of sorts. Or, rather, TWO epiphanies. They are as follows: Epiphany #1: This actually was brought to my attention from a pal on Critique Circle (my online writing group.) I had posted that I was ashamed of myself for not getting any writing done on my novel… Continue reading Mourning, Trailers, & Epiphanies
Be the Change
A smart man--Gandhi, I believe...or was it Mother Theresa? Am too lazy right now to look it up. Anyway--A smart PERSON once said, "Be the change you wish to see in the world."

2016 – A Year in Review
Just kidding. I wouldn't do that to you. This year has been so awful, I'd be laughing if I weren't crying. But let me list some positive things that have happened so far. This might be a very short list... My nephew was born healthy and without complications I read thirty-six books, the most I've… Continue reading 2016 – A Year in Review
