Read MoreOnce upon an empty page by Konstantina P.
You are sitting on the porch on a breezy summer evening, cooling down from the heat wave. An idea pops into your head, and you scramble over a heap of lazy limbs and sleepy pets to write it down.
Read MoreThe Making of “The Relationship Guide: The Business and Science of Reasoning” by Jacob Isom
While this project took years to complete, normally a writer would not dare spend that amount of time, resources, and money to bring an idea to fruition. But this project is not like any other piece of creative work that I have produced. It took a decade between my first and second book. It had nothing to do with writer’s block because I write when I get the urge, it is never forced.
Read MoreWriting Memoir Became My Heroine Journey by Maria Warner
Like a typical heroine, what I thought I wanted and what I needed to expose themselves in the process of writing. When I became an empty nester, I knew that I needed something to fulfil my life.

Read MoreIf I Only Knew by Bailee Walker (Book Review #1270)
If I only knew is a non-fiction self-help book written to enable the reader the ability to learn certain life skills that weren’t necessarily taught in school. I believe this is a good source of information since we often learn these things from mistakes, and if you know a few of these structural life skills, you would make fewer mistakes and have even fewer heartbreaks.

All that falls down is book one of the Barrington Collection series. It is a fictional tale and begins by letting you into their life of struggles trying to have a baby. With all the miscarriages, all hope is lost. While everything else appears to be eh-okay, this one thing and Cara’s promise to finish school appear out the window.
