She is a pivotal character in The Fray, and I almost favor her over others. You’re viewing the description of her mental illness. The novel takes place in the late 1890s, when mental illness was treated with great lengths that helped no one. There are several descriptions in my novel that paint the picture of…

Not A Fan of AI
What technology would you be better off without, why? I’m positive I’m not the only person who’s said this… We can do without AI. From my experience, it’s biased, which means human error has been toggled into the programming. I used to detest Photoshop, and now I find more and more “artists” are using AI…

Culminating the Perfect Characters
During editing, I found myself on chapter ten of The Fray. It’s speaks on bravado, especially from one major antagonist, then switches to intimate moments with the two protagonists. Miguel Cervantez reminds his wife, Nia, why he doesn’t mingle with humans…and the entire passage is everything. I laughed out loud, then of course, showed my…
Can We F**kin Not?
You, and you alone…are in charge of your own happiness. I have been at the helm of my happiness since I knew I could, and that was at a very young age. Many have spent their life or the span they were in mine, trying to ruin me. It only made me much weirder. I…

I will continue to create, post and uplift others. People who constantly report what I post are threatened, otherwise they wouldn’t do…
Perceptions of the Clouded Mind
The world through my teenage eyes appeared as carnage, disguised as teaching. I had an art teacher in high school who was an absolute terror. I, of course, signed up for art class because I am an artist. I had no direction, just pure, untamed talent. To illustrate what the eyes can see is one…
Into Surrealism, Care to Join?
For those of you who have studied art, you had required research as well. As apart of the actual curriculum, I studied Art History, I would say at least six years out of my earlier school days. Typically, most subjects started with the type of art (Modern, Classical Art, Surrealism) and from then on, you…
Pen and Paper
Your life without a computer: what does it look like? When I first started writing novels, I was about fifteen years old. I thought if I used the length of a spiral notebook, that would suffice. If it came down to that, I would be alright. I own a lot of notebooks and pens. When…
