First of all, welcome! We’re so glad to have you here. Second of all, I see that you like both acting and singing. Now, I’m a bit of a musical connoisseur. (Musicals are actually an obsession of mine.) I just have to know, what’s your favorite musical? Play? What shows have you acted in? Would you like for me to recommend some u…[Read more]

If you could pray for my uncle, Brandon, that would be very much appreciated. His dad died a couple weeks ago and he doesn’t have good coping mechanisms. Brandon is autistic and mute. I was just informed today that he was suspended from his daycare for a few days because of his behavior. He’s been picking at chairs and destroying them,…[Read more]

Brandon and I are so honored to have inspired your profile picture. To answer your question, I write a little bit of everything, but I favor fantasy above all others. Although, I like to say that I also write science fiction, because the one book I actually feel passionate about writing belongs to that genre.

I know nothing about poetry, but it seems like you’re trying to hard. If you were able to write good poetry before, that skill won’t just vanish.

Don’t worry about whether or not anyone is accepting your poetry. All you should be doing is writing poetry that YOU love.

It is A-OK to write dark stories. I find that dark stories can very effectively point out the ills in the world that other people ignore.
