How to write while living a busy life A while ago a friend of mine said that I needed to start a blog if I someday wanted to get published, so I started this one. I set it up a few months ago, but have never gotten around to actually making a post; I wasn't sure what I wanted to say. But today I decided to actually get started.

I try really hard to make my characters evoke emotions in the people reading them.
