Do you have a book from childhood or your teen years that has always stayed with you?
No matter how long it’s been since you first read it, you continue to be pulled in by its characters or premise or prose.
For me, Raising Dragons is that book.
Read moreSome of you have probably been wondering why my website has been inaccessible for the last few months.
Well, here’s why. I am rebranding. cue confetti
This is something I have been wanting to do for a while but have only just now gotten around to it.
I have a lot of cool things planned for the future, but don’t worry, writing and learning new things about writing will still be the primary focus of this blog.
Thanks for sticking with me through this transition. I can’t wait to see what lies ahead for Yeah, I’m a Proser.

“It was strange, how much like Winter Death could be.”
Doesn’t that line send a chill up your spine. It did mine. Pun intended. (Punny and unashamed!)
That’s just one of the epic lines you’ll find in Shannon Dittemore’s debut novel Winter White and Wicked.
Read moreWhispers from the Depths is a dark fantasy novel written by C.W. Briar.
Because this review is of a novel, a much longer piece than I usually cover, the review will be longer too. But I think there is a lot of awesome stuff to be learned from Briar’s work so it’ll definitely be worth it.
But first, my overall review.
Read moreThe Girl Who Could See is a 324 page long novella written by Kara Swanson, co-author of Pearls of Merlydia.
I was very excited to read The Girl Who Could See. I had an idea very similar to the premise of this novella, and wanted to see how another writer would handle it.
It was a very entertaining read that I think we can learn a lot from, structure wise.
But first, my overall review.
Read moreHannah Heath is an indie-published author who runs an amazing website, (name of website), that teaches writing and geeks out over all the nerdy story stuff a writer could want to read about.
I was a huge fan of Hanah’s blog long before I read Skies of Dripping Gold.
Read moreWith Broken Pieces finally up on Amazon in both paperback and ebook formats, I am officially an Indie author.
It’s such an exciting thought. Knowing my book is out there for the world to see. Hoping it can reach the hearts of the people who need its message most.
But it has also shown me just how hard it is to get people interested in buying your book as an Indie author. And why book reviews are so helpful!
That’s why I’ve decided to review more of the books I read on Amazon and Goodreads. It’s the least I can do for a writer who shared a part of their soul with me. Not to mention it’s an easy way to help writers out.
Read moreThe Broken Pieces blog tour continues with this awesome guest post by Melissa Chan, owner of Literary Book Gifts!
Read moreI have some incredible news. My first ever novella is finally up on Amazon for pre-order.

And at the end, I’ll be hosting an amazing giveaway!

Read moreAs the leading cause of death in the United States, many people have sadly had very personal experience with heart attacks.
Writers and readers alike can get a lot of benefit from stories that include information about them.
However, there is a risk in using allegories in writing, especially if those allegories are supposedly Biblically based. This danger was introduced to me in the form of a question: "How can I make my allegorical representation of God unique from other's representations of Him?"
Read moreHypothermia is one of the more serious conditions a person can endure without being injured first. It is really easy to develop, has a serious potential for fatality, and is actually surprisingly easy to bounce back from when caught in time. All of this makes it a great way to add conflict to our stories.
Read moreLast year I had the opportunity to submit a post to Kingdom Pen Magazine and get accepted for publication.
