Uplifted

A lot of what I witness now happens for two reasons – people do not change, and they hope you haven’t. My ex said this perfectly last night, and I couldn’t agree more, “people love their bullshit.” When you are unaware, haven’t healed and have no idea what’s going on, everything triggers you. People can…

Meet Kellie N. Hill!

Throughout my journey, black female authors of Sci-fi and Fantasy are hard to come by. While my recent work is Dark Romance/Dark Fantasy, it is always amazing coming across fellow writers! Kellie and I became friends on Threads, but I deleted the account. I don’t really like Threads, it’s a lot like Twitter. We bumped…

🥀The Fray – The Music, and Inspiration 🥀

Usually, there is one song that fuels my novellas. But this time, I required an entire playlist. It ranges from Classical to Metal, with great bits in between. The Fray is a 100k word novel, perhaps that’s why I needed more inspiration! However, what’s more impactful are the relationship songs. Like make up sex, or…

Lovely Flowers

Aside from being busy, I’ve been tired. That didn’t stop me from creating these flowers from air dry clay! I actually am not done with my project – I’m making a floral cat ear headband. The flowers are the start. I have supplies to pick up soon, and I am very excited. The games people…

I Admire Grade School Teachers

What profession do you admire most and why? I originally wanted to teach elementary school children, but unfortunately I have systemic lupus. I would have been sick often. I admire teachers the most because of the sacrifices they make in their strides to teach young people. It’s not just about the subjects, it’s also connecting….

Progress – Day by Day

I saw someone say not to talk about your accomplishments, and I beg to differ. When someone sees that you can achieve something, it helps them realize they can as well. If we all acted like there’s a secret code or recipe, it makes us look like we don’t want anyone else succeeding. I have…

Crunching Numbers

Continuing to build an audience! Then suddenly, I may have to walk away. As many of you know, my mother has fallen sick. It is up and down. While she is using herbal treatment, which is better than nothing, it’s still hard to watch. I handle most things for her so she can rest. Despite…

Worth Every Penny

What’s the most money you’ve ever spent on a meal? Was it worth it? Right before lockdown in 2020, I went out during restaurant week here in Denver. I really wanted to try Forage, which is an Asian inspired place here. The plates for restaurant week were $25 or $35 a plate. I had (unwanted)…

Sustaining Effort

People don’t like hearing great things take time. Yet, anytime I’ve rushed anything, it simply never worked. While forcing anything also fails you, building over time is way more sustainable. Establishing yourself and remaining consistent are key. I’ve come to realize that no matter how much I say this, it falls on deaf ears. I…

What Works

The short answer is consistency and dedication. The long answer is possibly unraveling for some. I would say you first need to stick with a plan, and execute the plan often. It will take your a good two to three years to see some type of results, but you’ll realize it’s something that needs constant…
