Adventures with A Kindle
Article
As with most other hobbies, there are aspects of reading that I hate, and aspects that I love. And overall, reading is great. You get to travel to new worlds, experience different characters, and just have a good time. But I have run into a few problems with this reading thing. 1) My local library

How to Manage Your Time During Spring Craziness
Article
Spring is almost here. The time for winter to melt away and grass to come back. When birds start chirping and suddenly, you don’t need to spend twenty minutes getting ready to go outside.

More Musical Madness: Anastasia
Article
The world seems to be enthralled with the story of Anastasia Romanov. Well, enthralled with fictional spins on the actual history. There are a ton of stories involving the Romanovs, which I find interesting. Probably the most well-known Anastasia story is the 1997 movie. According to my mom, I watched this movie a lot when

5 Ways to Spice Up A Contemporary
Article
Hello! I’ve been trying my hand at contemporary writing projects recently. I also talked with some other contemporary writers. And one thing I noticed from our conversations about the genre is that it’s kind of hard to make it interesting. In fantasy, you can throw in dragons and swords and magic. In sci-fi you can

Guys, Dystopian is Hard to Write

Hello! One of my favorite series is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I first read this series a few summers ago, and during the course of that summer I reread the books three times. I’ve since read them many more times, and each time I’ve gotten way more out of the story But then

YA Romance, Mushrooms, and Valentines Day

Hello! Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and stampeding behind it lots of chocolate, cards, flowers, and the color pink.

Drop Everything and Write Something Short
Article
Hello! Because of a truly ridiculous mishap with the novel I was currently writing, I decided to drop everything to outline and write a short story. This got me thinking about the ways a short story is different than writing a novel, which of course spiraled into this post. The *Kind of* Important Basics So…

A Ramble About Hamilton
Article
Hello! In 2020, one thing I developed an interest for was musicals.They got me through self-isolating/quarantining/social distancing (a process which I refuse to ever repeat) last spring. It began with Les Miserables, which I loved. I listened to it non-stop for a whole two months. Then, this summer, my family watched Hamilton on Disney+. I’d

Undead Dead Characters
Article
Hello! There are some tropes in books that I just hate. Love triangles, the chosen one, orphans… you get the idea. And then comes along the most annoying trope ever. A beloved character dies a dramatic death. The protagonist (and reader) goes through some very tear jerking scenes. The reader and main character recover and
Hi! I’m Hannah, a crazy pen-wielding, jack-of-all-trades writer. I write contemporary stories with a magical (or vintage!) twist, usually featuring big families, delicious food, and a few tear jerking scenes. When I’m not writing, you could find me camping, sewing, hiking, cycling, skiing, playing violin or piano, reading, and many other “-ing” words.
