I officially finished Camp NaNoWriMo on July 21st! "Better to sleep in the night than to burn in the day.” —Aeron

With Child of the Dragon Prophecy released and my readers dying for more, I decided to go to camp with book 2, Heir of Two Kingdoms!

In order to commemorate that horrible, old writing, I have complied some of my most embarrassing writings for you to read and laugh at!

Writing was freeing. It was thrilling. I was at the top of the world when writing. Anything was possible, even superpowers and dragons.

Take my words and use them. Quote them if you want. It is only one way to portray grief, but it is a truthful way.

Time doesn’t heal, it only changes us until we can remember the pain no longer.

I'd never thought there would be a time I wouldn’t have to live without Tron. But everything dies eventually.

It was the last time I would play with him. The last time we would be together like this—happy and free.

Living on a farm has taught me that you can't outrun death. But, somehow, I think we believed we had become invincible.

She said I had acted very maturely and was handling it well. But oh I wasn't handling it well. I only knew how to lie was all.

I think it is important to speak of grief as we experience it—as a piece of life. It comes to us as a story.
