Out of nearly two BILLION websites on the internet, you somehow ended up on mine! I’m honored. WELCOME!!

My name is Lauren Spear. “LittleZotz” is my nickname.

Growing up, I wrote because I enjoyed it — and because it was, often, the only way I could effectively “verbalize” my thoughts. I started writing for pay as a side gig when I was around fifteen. At twenty-five, I went “pro” and made writing my sole source of income. At thirty-five, I realized that was a horrible mistake and I’d “sold out” one of the only things that gave me joy and I’d essentially rendered myself voiceless.

Now? I’m back at the beginning! I write for the pure love of writing. I hope you love it too. Thank you for stopping by!

But Enough About Me. . . How Are YOU Feeling Today?

Or, how would you like to feel…? Since my articles’ topics can be a bit “all over the place,” I categorize my posts by Mood. Click the pic below that best represents the Mood you’d like to explore to learn more about it:

Bored

Motivated

Creative

Hungry

Struggling

The BEST!

Feeling Spooky. . . ?

Horror has been a part of my life since birth and although it will always find a way into every aspect of my work, I don’t have a dedicated category/”mood” for it here on LittleZotz.com… because I have an entire website dedicated to the genre: Check out HorrorFam.com! (link opens in a new tab)
