Writing tip: Always be learning. Learning about writing. Learning about the topic you are writing about. About the location, the people, the culture, the food, etc. About how things work. etc. etc. Just learn about it! Stay curious!

Okay new idea for a library service: leave a hobby take a hobby. When people get bored with a hobby they can come and leave their supplies and books and half-finished things, and exchange them for someone else’s supplies and books and half-finished things. Hobby swap.

Something shifted outside her room. Her mother or father coming to tell her to shut off her light? No. The floor boards hadn't creaked. This was something else. Something not human.

Writing tip: Write everything, every idea, every thought, description, every minuscule detail. Be very specific. You will find a gem in these details. But remember, things can also be cut later if it's too much.

Writing tip: Practice writing. Even if it's just a sentence or two a day. You can't get good at your craft if you don't practice your craft.

The most commonly accepted pronunciation is ‘FOH-lee-ij.’

However, there’s no denying that the pronunciations ‘FOH-lij’ and even ‘FOY-lij’ have also staked their claim.

Merriam-Webster word of the day for October 14, 2025.

Utopia - an imaginary place in which everything is perfect.

I love the serendipitous "coincidence" this is considering my book series.

Find out the title of my next book in the third book of the Eutopia series. But, you'll have to read the other two in the series first to know what is going on. Tricky, tricky. 😉
