Daily Prompt #38
Which topics would you like to be more informed about? I think it goes without saying that I would like to be more informed on publishing because it directly impacts my writing and eventual publishing efforts. I’m still learning, I’m making mistakes. I would also like to get better at baking. I’ve got some great idea for treats that requires a certain level of technical skill that I don’t have.…

The Art of Making Mistakes
As I’ve been preparing for Lost Magic’s debut this December, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking on all the past mistakes that I’ve made during this journey. I don’t regret a single one that I’ve made because I’ve learned so much from making them. It’s knowledge that was hard won and learned but I keep going to back to the thought of “Were these mistakes that needed to be made?” If I had taken…

Daily Prompt #37
How do you celebrate holidays? Holidays are celebrated in grand style as I believe that they should be but believe me when I say that grand doesn’t mean lavish displays or over the top celebrations. What I mean to say is that everyone brings good food, good music is played, and the best holiday specials are on a constant loop. There should always be a sense of warmth and kindness. I am a strong…

Daily Prompt # 36
Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail. I’m a newbie baker, but I am very ambitious with literally everything that I do. I would say that my biggest cooking fail/epic baking was making sugar domes. Sugar work is something that I’m very interested in. Unfortunately, sugar work is delicate and very hot. This past weekend, I was attempting to make a thin sugar dome. If you do it…

Daily Prompt #35
Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. The most important lesson that I wished I had learned earlier in life is that there is never a “perfect moment” to start something new. I have been writing since 2007. I’ve been trying to get published since 2017, but also trying to “prove” myself to a series of faceless and unpredictable wave of agents to whom I am but another email in an…

Daily Prompt #34
How often do you walk or run? Over the course of the pandemic, I was not as good with my exercise routine as I should have been. As a result, I’ve taken up running, yoga, weight lifting, etc. in order to get in better shape. I’m not interested in weight loss, but getting stronger and having a toner body. I’ve been at it for a week. I can say that I hate how much my body hurts and I despise…

Do you see yourself as a leader? I do not see myself as a leader. I am more of a support player and a planner. I will assist, I will help plan, but preferably I would not want to lead. I believe in supporting people and creating the necessary programs, aid, and meeting with people to push whatever item or plan needs to get through.

What’s your favorite word? I would have to say that my favorite word is “lovely”. To me, lovely creates such a warm sense akin to cottagecore that it is impossible for me to not use it in my writing.

Snow White: The Cursed Years (Chapter Two)
In the years that followed, Snow White had changed. No one could say when the change happened for certain. The family portraits were the best indication of Snow’s shift in personality. The formerly happy child was morphed into an unhappy and moody teenager. Nothing could rouse her from her ennui. How could she ever be happy when she knew what laid in store for her? Still, as she rose from her bed…

What are you doing this evening? I will be doing two wonderful things this evening. The first thing that’s on my ever growing to do list is to do a mass upload of content to my tumblr page and then to work on a few other stories that I have waiting in the wings (Jaded Necromancer, you’re gonna love it). Then, if I have enough time, I’m going to play Bladur’s Gate 3 and attempt actually make some…

New Pages
I’ve been thinking about the blog lately and I would really like to bring better content and so I’m thinking of posting the recipes and photos of the food that I make over the weekend. I can say for certain that my food, mainly pastries, will be the best looking thing around but I do think that it’s worth a shot. I will also be posting a Privacy Concerns page. No information is kept on this…

What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you? I love this question so much because one it actually relates to my job and two I love writing. This is sheer perfection. The biggest red flag in terms of personality is what I will lovingly call the “Woe is me” trait. To break it down, the “Woe is me” always has something bad happening to them or is the perpetual victim in their own…

Trope Tuesday - Being Good Sucks
In the grand tapestry of storytelling and morality, the notion that good triumphs over evil often takes center stage. We find comfort in the idea that our heroes can return home, their heads held high, knowing they achieved the impossible and will forever be celebrated for their noble deeds. However, this assumes that the “Being Good Sucks” trope isn’t in play. It’s undeniably simpler to embrace…
