The Incredibles is one of my favorite Pixar movies if not my favorite Pixar movie. I love the concept of a superhero story set in the 1960s. I love the superhero family. And the dialogue is just gold. The characters are fleshed-out and so likable. Pixar is known for their amazing story writing, so I …
It’s time for a call for questions! This is High Priestess Vanmoriel. She is my main villainess from Starbloods, and basically the most evil character I’ve ever created, so I’m a little nervous about interviewing her. I’m rewriting Starbloods for NaNoWriMo this year, so I want to flesh out Vanmoriel some more through a character …

Fall has finally arrived! But it was still hot all month. Nooooo. What is up with the Southern weather? The leaves didn’t start changing until about a week or so ago, which is super weird, because usually they start in the beginning of October. This has been an odd year when it comes to weather. …
