Such is the case with Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, an anthology of short stories, essays, media transcripts, and stream of consciousness accounts. These somewhat disparate entries come … Continue reading Brief Interviews with Hideous Men – Book Review

Hope
While away from my blog, I feel absent, detached from my writing. Yet I'm also closer to those I love. It's an otherworldly trade-off, isn't it? https://soundcloud.com/ohthatkazuki/hope Writing lifts me up closer to the stars. It affirms the peace in me. May you find a similar peace within yourself. Breathe. Come alive. We're all floating in … Continue reading Hope
Life Update and New Pinterest Character Board
This week life has been astoundingly great to me. I finally got my counseling license in the mail, which I had been worried about for the past several weeks (insert subtle panic attack here). I also took the final step in securing my next job opportunity, which I will have more details on next week. But most … Continue reading Life Update and New Pinterest Character Board

To all those who have followed me with support and eagerness, I am sorry to say that I'll be taking a break from uploading chapters of my first YA novel, In the Words of Your Love.

In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 14
Hey all! Sorry for being late with chapter 14. I made a trip to Houston Tuesday night for my grandfather's birthday on the first. A life filled with 91 years of parenting, working, and faith is awe-inspiring. In this chapter, I explore Johan's dark anxieties and flesh out Mal and Ross' yearbook project. As always, … Continue reading In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 14
In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 13
////////// Chapter 13 Riding on a bus on a Saturday morning may not be most people’s idea of a good time, but those people have probably never been part of a guy's track team, either. “Now just chew,” Eric says to Matt Garza, looking like he’s making a move to swallow the ball of granola … Continue reading In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 13
In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 11
Hola! For chapter 11 I rewrote almost the entire first interview, changing the location and the introduction. I still feel like it's not at its best, but I know some kind of epiphany will hit me soon. Also, my interview at UNT went well! I felt professional and made sure to talk about my job … Continue reading In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 11

In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 8
Greetings! More and more I find myself enjoying the whole editing process. For chapter 8 I substantially rewrote two scenes in order to draw a stronger parallel between Ross' class project and the yearbook one that he is about to undertake. I also tried to draw out Ana's headstrong nature a little better. LeRoy's transformation … Continue reading In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 8
In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 6
Greetings! After an almost apocalyptic day at work, coming home and editing chapter 6 has been a perfect little getaway. I realized that chapter 5 was a little bit too long (2,746 words, ouch!), and so I will try and revise that within the next week. Chapter 6 is a much more manageable 1,688 words. … Continue reading In the Words of Your Love – Chapter 6
