Theia

My Unsolicited Writers-On-Writing Three-Pack; or, a glimpse into what makes me tick as a human who writes.
August 23rd, 2020 1. On Writing, Stephen King. Stephen King has been teaching me how to write my whole life.

July 26th, 2020 This was crazy fun to discover tonight; it’s definitely a highlight of my summer.

New Directions
May 25th, 2020 What kind of doofus would release a book about connecting to one another at a time when we’re so far apart? This kind of doofus. A doofus who could absolutely use some of your knowledge and wisdom. As any writer does, I spend time reading about sales and the “art” of selling,Continue reading “New Directions”
