Tips For Writing Families
Article
Hello! Writing about families is always an interesting endeavor. Creating interesting situations, comical accidents, and fun siblings for your protagonist is a lot of fun to do.

The Importance of Stakes and Wants (ft. The Scorpio Races)
Article

During a recent reread, I tried super hard to figure out why this book works so well, and why so many readers love it. And

Being Correctly Incorrect With Grammar (A Ramble)
Article
Hello! Grammar is a subject in school that everyone seems to hate. I’ve witnessed a surprising amount of frustration over it. And I can understand because honestly, I hate grammar too. But I also like it. I don’t enjoy learning about what parts of a sentence are the independent-dependant-clause, or which word is the antecedent,

My Love-Hate Relationship With Horror Movies
Article
Hello! Halloween is just around the corner. Time for spooky stories, pumpkins, and… horror movies. I’ve seen a fair amount of horror movies with my dad and brother. In the depths of winter, when there’s nothing else to do, it’s kind of fun to get scared. But that’s really all horror movies are made to

To NaNo or Not?

Hello! It’s officially October. Time for fall weather, Halloween, colorful leaves, pumpkins, maybe a little bit of snow, and, most importantly, preparations for NaNoWriMo. *insert dramatic theme music* (For those of you who don’t know, NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month, which takes place in November.) Writers all around the globe are preparing to
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.
