This is the current book that I’m working on right now. It’s still a struggle to get through, but I think I’m at least happy with the first chapter. Tell me what you think. Chapter 1 The moon glowed eerily outside the large estate and cast long beams of light through the window as it …
Working on YA Novels Again
I decided that it was time to go back to writing novels again. I miss writing the YA novels and Tween novels. The one that I have sitting on a thumb drive has been waiting to be finished for almost 4 years now. I’m not even certain if I can remember how I wanted it …
Is AI the next big author?
Lately the headlines in my newsfeed has been about AI, and how it will be able to replace humans when it comes to creating written content.

Summer Plans
I have two more weeks before I can kick start my summer plans. I wish I could say that my summer plans involved vacation and lounging by the pool, but to be honest, it is all about the hustle. In fact, summer means that I can put more emphasis on building my businesses and less …
Update on New Organization System
Last week I shared with you that I had decided to change how I worked my business by implementing a new organization system. Currently, I am juggling 11 websites/businesses/blogs. That seems rather overwhelming, but 4 of those are connected and are E-commerce websites. The only difference among them is that they are separated due to …
