In the last few years, I’ve bought more books on writing, the craft, editing, or being a writer. I’ve written about craft books before and all of the books below are worthy additions to my growing collection. If your favourite craft book isn’t on the list, leave it in the comments below!

Cover Reveal: Lucifer’s Favour
It’s been a long time coming but the sequel to Devil’s Deal is almost done. Lucifer’s Favour will be released in the second week of April. After a few extensive revision and editing rounds, I think I’m at the stage where I can say “It’s done.” I didn’t make it easy for myself, deciding early Read More
Participating in Writing Prompts
It’s been years since I started making monthly lists of writing prompts but I never used them much myself. I’m going to change that this year. I bought a discounted journal that was perfect for it. With two days on one page, I’ve got enough space to write but not enough to feel overwhelmed. So Read More
From Shortlist to Second Place
Nearly one and a half year ago, I wrote that my short story The Champion of Wintersdeep was shortlisted in the Comic-Con writing contest.

Work In Progress: Short Stories and MICE
The past two weeks, I’ve worked on several short stories as a break from working on novels. I love writing them, as you can see with Tales of Lunis Aquaria, and I want to release a second volume of short stories from Lunis Aquaria soon. Next year maybe? Who knows. All I can say for Read More
On My Mind: The Downside of Growth
I’ve always been hungry for knowledge and extremely curious. I devoured books since I was younger, so when I went to university and I could pick courses about all of my interests, I was delighted. If money wasn’t an issue, I’d go for my n-th degree and be a student forever. That’s not in the Read More
On My Mind: Finding Your Focus
At the end of last year, I decided I need to be more focused if I want to get all the things done this year. I have dreams, ambitions, big goals, smaller goals, and wishes I hope one day will come true. But nothing is getting done if you don’t plan for it. That’s been Read More
Preptober Starts
We’re less than a month away from National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) and October has been dubbed ‘Preptober’ by many. It’s the month in which participants of NaNoWriMo prepare their big epic novel for production. The plotters will finish their outlines, the pantsers just let their idea simmer in the back of their mind. If Read More
