What I Learned About Self-Discovery from “Heart of Darkness”
I’ve long suffered with the fear of not being well-received as a writer. It’s the kind of dreaded existential terror that haunts a prolific writer’s nightmares. As I noticed my writing becoming denser and more convoluted, I worried I’d eventually reach a point where the only person who could decipher my prose would be me. […]
Why You Should Be Writing Down Your Random Thoughts That Make No Sense
Writing down your random thoughts is like rolling dice in the dark. You don’t know what number will come up, but you do know you’ll probably trip over the coffee table in the process. But, I have to say, no thoughts are truly random. The human brain is often like a crowded intersection at rush […]

An Obsession with Beat, Rhyme, Melody, and Time
There’s a certain madness that comes with devotion to the written word. I’m wholly, irrationally obsessed with them.

They’re also on about the importance of rhythm in all things, however dull they may seem individually. But words alone […]

My Mind is a Racetrack
My mind is a racetrack with too many open loops.Much of the time it hosts a free-for-all of racing thoughts, zooming past one another at breakneck speeds, leaving behind trails of dust, confusion, and expletives. Every corner is littered with distractions, detours, and unfinished business, waiting to be completed. The gray matter in my skull […]
How and When Prewriting is Useful for Your Writing
For me, prewriting has always been a bit of an ironic term. After all, this preparation involves writing things down. I’ve rarely ever done it in the traditional sense, as I prefer to simply write a first draft. But despite its confusing etymology, the process is helpful for some writers. So, how and when is […]
