All Our Struggles Are Interesting

I was nine years old and a fourth-grade student when I wrote a short story in writing composition class about two astronauts going to a faraway planet. I don’t recall the story’s details very well, but I do recall it had a beginning, a middle, and an ending. In the beginning, my astronauts blast off … Continue reading All Our Struggles Are Interesting

Who Is Alice Myers?

I previously posted about the history of Ridgewood, a fictional town that appears in my stories and books featured here and at several online book markets. In that post, I mentioned a woman named Alice Myers, and in my haste to keep the post shorter than one of my short stories, I glossed over her … Continue reading Who Is Alice Myers?

Re-Introducing Vree

A year ago this month, I began a blog called Vree Erickson. It was about a recurring main character from my years as an author of Fantasy/Sci-Fi stories. That blog preceded this one by three months. It was short-lived in favor of blogging about more than Vree and my writing endeavors. In the first post … Continue reading Re-Introducing Vree
