My Confession is That I'm Afraid of Relationships
I wish my confession was one of the funny or cute ones like I burped in my boyfriend’s face or I fell on a date. Although the latter has happened to me (right as my then-boyfriend was about to kiss me), I’m going to share something that leaves me feeling vulnerable and embarrassed.

How To Make Money With Your Writing
I’m going to be honest, I haven’t made much money with my writing. Now before you click away, I have studied writing for a long time. I started studying the art of writing and promotion more seriously when I was nineteen. I used to read every piece of writing and marketing advice that I would come across online. Some of the advice was good, and some was of it awful, but I did manage to learn from all of it. So, what are the most important things that I took away from my years of research?

What If Vampires Were Real?
Recently, I considered what would happen if the Death Note was real. I enjoyed imagining what would happen if the fictional world of Death Note was real, so I decided to make it a series. When thinking about topics that I could write about, there was one that left me with more questions than answers: VAMPIRES.

If You Like Superhero Movies, You Should Check Out The Crow
The Crow isn’t a superhero movie in the traditional sense, but I think people who enjoy Marvel and DC movies would love it. The Crow shares many similarities with many Marvel movies, especially those like Blade and the Punisher. The movie follows former guitar player, Eric Draven on his quest to exact revenge on those who murdered him and his girlfriend, Shelly. Yes, you read that correctly, the story’s protagonist is killed before the events of the movie take place. He returns with a new winged companion, a crow.

I Got Fired For Being Polite To a Man Who Hit On Me
If you’ve scrolled through TikTok lately, you’ve probably seen a dark-haired lady clapping as she demands women to be polite to men who hit on them, along with replies from hundreds of other TikTokers advising you against this. I can only speak to my own experiences, but I was polite to a man who hit on me and I ended up getting fired for it.

Dear Colourpop, Please Collab With These Brands...
Colourpop recently announced a collab with Lizzie McGuire, and while I currently have no plans to pick it up, I confess that it is an interesting concept. I’ve considered picking up a few of their prior collaborations but have never actually gone through with any of those purchases. So, what franchise collab would end up in my cart?

I Spent Two Months Stalking A Hair Dryer
I’m not the type of girl who has a ton of extra money to spend on myself, so I can’t just buy something because it’s gone viral on TikTok (even though I want to sometimes). I must painstakingly research anything I think about buying for myself. My research includes watching multiple videos, reading reviews, and watching the item for months until the price drops. The things I buy usually aren’t trendy, so I usually have the luxury of waiting for a sale without the fear of it selling out. Sometimes, I’ll even add the item to the cart and see if the retailer sends me a coupon for it.

Why I'm Concerned About The New Mortal Kombat Movie
It’s no secret that I’m a huge Mortal Kombat fan, I’ve even written a review of Conquest. Recently, I shared that I was dreading the new Mortal Kombat movie, but since I’ve seen the trailers and posters, my concern has grown. While I know each adaption of Mortal Kombat will be different, there are changes within this Mortal Kombat movie that are odd.

What if the Death Note Was Real?
Recently, I imagined what a Goosebumps series for adults would look like. Writing about that franchise got me thinking about other franchises that I love. One of my favorite franchises is Death Note. I love it so much that I even named my dogs after the characters. Death Note is already a property meant for adults, so how else could I reimagine it?

What is a Loss Leader?
If you’ve ever considered self-publishing a book, you might have heard the words loss leader. What is a loss leader? Well, it’s an item you’re willing to take a loss on to gain sales in the future. In the world of self-publishing, it’s usually a book that you give away or set at a lesser price than the rest of your books. A loss leader doesn’t always have to be free, but it does have to be set at a lesser price than the rest of the books the author has written. The most common price for loss leader books is .99 cents, but some are listed at 2.99.

What Could An Adult Goosebumps TV Series Look Like?
I can still remember the excitement I felt coming home from the library with an armload of Goosebumps books. The books were short and only took me a day or two to complete. My love for Goosebumps only intensified with the release of the tv series. Now that I’m older, I can’t help imagining how an adult version of Goosebumps would pan out. I would love to see some of the original actors back in their original roles. The new series could open with the characters (now adults) talking about the trauma they went through as children and how everything was much worse than we’d thought.

I Allowed Others To Decide How I felt About Britney Spears
“I bought a Britney Spears cd just to see why everyone likes her so much, and then I cracked it in half and threw it in my pool,” my former classmate said. We in junior high, at the age where our celebrity crushes still seemed obtainable to us. I assumed she hated Britney Spears so much was because she was dating Justin Timberlake, but I can’t be sure. Whatever the reason, Britney Spears was living in this girl’s head rent-free. There wasn’t a day that went by where she didn’t mention Spears. She attacked her looks, her talent, her personal life, and even her intelligence. This girl brought Britney Spears up so much, that I was afraid to admit to enjoying some of her songs.
