The War of Ivy Introspective Continues

Writing Ivy Introspective feels like something that will never happen. Which is exactly why I’m going to spend this next week making it happen. You see, writer’s block is a thing — but it’s a thing that we can fight. I might lose a battle or two, but I intend to win the war. 😛 […]

5 Ways to Make Me Want to Read a Book

This post should be subtitled “and why you don’t probably want to do any of these things,” because I have WEIRD TASTES — and I’m also basic at the same time — so honestly, write a good book and don’t worry about who will and won’t like it. But all the same, since this is […]

Why Authors Shouldn’t Mention Their Negative Reviews

I know people have discussed this before. However, this is such a big pet peeve with me that I want to talk about it—and it should be a big pet peeve with anyone who has ever read, written, bought, or sold a book. Reviews. Reviews are something authors want to have and readers can be […]

3 Annoying Female Lead Tropes in Historical Romances

There are a lot of annoying female lead tropes out there. There are a lot of ALL KINDS OF tropes out there. But I read a lot of historical romance. And so that’s what bugs me. In this post, I’m going to be pulling apart three annoying female lead tropes in historical romance … because […]

5 Romance Tropes I Can’t Get Enough Of

Hi y’all! Today I’m going to tell you about 5 romance tropes I can’t get enough of. Why? Because they are perfect. Because we all need a little awesome cliché in our lives. Because originality is overrated, and why teach a old dog new tricks if you can just tweak the trick so it’s slightly […]

Who Won Kell’s 1K Contest?

Heyyyyyy, y’all! I’ve been crazy busy! *making up excuses for not getting stuff done* #likeapro #afakepro So yep, I went ahead and skipped this last week both because I was exhausted, sick (feverish symptoms? Might just be girl stuff, but who knows), and I had a bunch of stuff to do. Also, last week basically […]

The Journey by Alleece Balts {Review}

Well, today I’ve come to a book that I really struggle to review! A part of me liked it … but the other part of me? Not so much. However, there comes a time in every reviewer’s life when they have to review a novel they’re not quite sure of, and now is that time. […]

Writers: Push Introversion Aside for a Day

Hello writers! I’m not the only introvert here, am I? I thought not. Extroverted writers exist – and in fact, I know quite a few! – but they’re less common than introverts. That’s because writing is a solitary sport. For that reason, it’s not really a big deal if writers are introverts. In fact, it’s […]

Are Novels Important?

I’ve heard people say that reading fictional stories is a waste of time, and I wanted to point out why this is not true. However, it was simply too big a subject for me! Books have taught me certain lessons … but they’ve taught other people completely different things. And I hate to narrow this broad subject down […]
