I’ve landed on the conclusion that I like to retell classic stories. Now, as one of my professors is fond of reminding us,Continue reading “Why I Retell Stories”

My Travel Bucket List
I’ve always had the urge to travel. Before college, I traveled around the States on vacations and visiting family. I left the country once to travel in Canada. Once I got to college, though, the travel bug that had been previously been quietly biting me began to gnaw more fiercely. It began with a semesterContinue reading “My Travel Bucket List”

The Importance of Being Published
As I read the title I just wrote, I realize how pretentious it sounds, but it’s true! Just bear with me while I explain. As you may know, I was at a writer’s conference earlier this summer. One of the most important things I learned was that editors and agents won’t consider working with authorsContinue reading “The Importance of Being Published”
