"New Year, New Me" doesn't really work because as the clock strikes 12, we don't actually change. We may have been given a new calendar year, but we are the same people with the same problems and the same bad habits. I don't mean to put a damper on the new year.

Don't worry, this post won't be as "depressing" as it sounds. I just wanted to reach out to my fellow writers and say you're not alone if you've ever felt depressed. Because we all get like that at times and here's why writers suffer so much. Our work is under appreciated and under valued. We… Continue reading Why Writers Get Depressed
How Life is Like Driving…
It's scary at first when you're learning, but after a while you get the hang of it and "muscle memory" helps you handle things more smoothly. Anyone can be good or bad at it at any stage or walk of life. There's always someone who can give you advice on how to be better. When… Continue reading How Life is Like Driving…
