The Reveal
The recent publishing of my first novel, Playing with Fire (which is still available for purchase, click the link!) has sparked a fire in me that I have never had for my writing. Because of that, I have begun pulling together some of my favorite pieces for a poetry book (who’s title I am not ready to release…
In the lab…
It’s been a while, but I’ve been gathering thoughts; preparing to write. I have 2 new projects I’m about to start working on and I’m excited. I feel like I have the motivation to take on any and everything.
Joshua Bennett: In Case of Emergency
I notice that Thursdays are usually the days I get into my mellow-mode and listen to all types of good poetry and whatnot. Here is a poem by one of my favorite poets, Joshua Bennett and it is called In Case of Emergency: Letter to my Nephew. Enjoy!

I hate my poetry rut…. The one where I can’t quite find the right words or make the right phrases flow like poetic gospel. UGH! Hopefully I’ll be out of this rut soon. I would really like to perform something at the next open mic night, but if I don’t have anything that’s worth it,…

My Open Mic Experience
On 11/21, I went to the second open mic night held in my hometown. I posted this post describing my newest quest on the bucket list of life, which was actually performing at an open mic night. Well, with the support and encouragement from friends and family, I didn’t chicken out, lol! I performed one of…
My Upcoming Leap
So, this may not be a big deal for some, but I will be performing at an open mic night this month…. *pause for reaction* I’ve never been so nervous in all my days, but I need to take a leap of faith sometime. I’m working on some new poems, and so far I haen’t…
