Diving Headfirst Into UX Writing

I'm in a constant journey of growth and self-improvement. Aren't we all, right? In this quest, I recently came across the term UX Writing. Ever so curious, I was piqued. What is UX Writing? Can I do it? I'm a writer after all, it seems right up my skill tree and something that should be included in that list of…

The truth is I've been in somewhat of a writing hiatus. Yeah, what a way to claim to be a writer, right? Hey, it's not that I don't write…

Why I Write – Blog Hopped Edition

I was recently bloghopped by an amazing author: JD Estrada. I met JD at the recent Puerto Rico Comic Con 2015 and got myself a signed copy of one amazing ride (Only Human) that I have yet to finish, but promise to tell (without spoilers) when I’m done.

Things That Inspire

My son lost a tooth yesterday. It had been wiggling for a while and yesterday it finally came loose. The new tooth was already coming out behind it.

Hoy fluye la tinta como aguacero de mayo Con rabia e intención Hoy fluye con propósitos directos Sin rebuscar metáforas ¿Para qué? El sentimiento no tiene por qué taparse Por qué esconderse ¿Para qué?
