In life, we all go through many different situations, some bad some good. Sometimes it can seem neverending and frustrating. Yet with these life problems comes a chance to overcome. I feel that the best way to overcome the worse of situations is through love. Everyone goes through a moment of despair, a time of no money, a world-changing event. But what allows us to move through these events with more resolve? Love. When we have love, we feel like we can handle anything the world throws at us. I like to write with this mentality sometimes. I have a character that life had destroyed her yet when love finds…

Heartbreak is a big part of being in love. Even though someone can love a person, often we experience heartbreak. Maybe the person is just not meant for us at that time or maybe not at all. But when we truly love someone, sometimes that person can break our heart by doing or saying something heartening. But that is a  part of life. We all experience this. As a writer, I love to write something that can be thought of as it could have happened. As much as writing about love can be fun and nice, a part of that writing is to write about heartbreak and traumas or issues…

A great writer is an observer of life O.S. As a writer, I find that we become good observers of the world. Well maybe not all writers, but I am like this. I am an observer of the world and people. I watch people’s behaviors, how they react in different situations. I watch as life can throw problems at people and see how they get out of it. I am an observer and I think most great writers are part observers. As a writer, I do know we need a creative spirit, but we also need to be observers. For how else can we write how this or that happens…

I watched a video on Facebook the other day and it was a very romantic way for a man to show how much he loved his woman. Here is the scenario: the man had to go on a trip and left behind four roses in four jars with each a note for each rose. He also left the main note that the girl read first telling her that when each flower dies that she is to read the note attached to the flower. As each flower died, she read the note and each time it was nice things telling his woman how much he loved her no matter what would…

“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” ― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet I do believe almost everyone has heard this quote by Shakespeare. I love how it portrays that the name of a person does not make the value of that person. What makes the person is how they are as a person, not by what they are named by. However, when writing, names tend to bring in a whole other meaning. Well for me it does. I like to fit the names I chose for my characters to match their personality. And this may sound weird to some, but…

Is true love real? Is it possible to have true love in real life? I believe in true love and believe that it is real. But I see it as a build between two people. Yes, in my books, I write about love and two people meeting and having true love in the end. But I do believe that love is something built between two people who really care about each other. And when you have true love, there is no reason to bail out of the relationship. True love is something that lasts a lifetime and then some. True love is not something that can flee away. It stays.…

I love every season because, each season, you can see the romance within the season if you genuinely look within it. Summer is on its way, and for some may already feel like it is. Summer is great for many reasons, people go out more, do sports more, and in summer people seem to have more fun, and of course, we cannot forget vacation time. It’s time for relaxing and enjoying the moment. When it comes to summer romance, people may think, how can it be romantic? People are active, which means sweaty, not romantic. But I see it differently. I see picnics at the park, lying on the beach…

Have you ever thought that something so usually done in someone’s mind seems romantic in another? Well, I came across this situation. Men are not always thinking about giving flowers or chocolates or taking you off to hideaways or some romantic adventure. Although these things are great, of course, not all men are apt at such things. But I sometimes find it’s the things they do that seem normal to them yet can make a girl feel like she is a queen in their eyes. Like when your guy goes out of his way to help you out with something to make your life easier or brings you a bag…

A rose, as common knowledge, is a symbol of romance or being romantic. But there is so much more than that when it came to roses. I like to use roses to symbolize who I am as an author, not just because of what it represents but also at what other things it can represent. Roses are, to me, more than just for romance. They are used for friendship, for mothers, daughters, for many other reasons. What is a rose? To me, it signifies a human connection between two people that is driven by love for one another. No matter the reasons you give a rose to another person, it…

I am in the process of working on my third book. I am already in love with this book. My main female character is slightly different from the last two that I wrote about in my books. Samantha and Katharine characters in my two published books are more strong, willful females who fight for what they want in life. However, this new character is a bit different. She had more vulnerability and resolve. She is strong but in another way. Her strength comes from hiding away from her past and trying to see everything through a different shade of glasses. What do I mean by this? Rebecca, my new character,…
