2021 Recap-The year of Fantasy and Sci-Fi, apparently–also jams and plot bunnies
Hello, friends! 2021 is leaving us. Wave to it as it passes! (You’re never going to see it again, so this is your last chance.) It has been a wild year. I’m still reeling from the past few months. But while there have been many setbacks, hardships, and what-the-heck-is-going-on??? moments, there have also been many…

Anti-New Year’s Resolution Update–self-worth, snippets, and–wait, am I Rei?
What up, blog dogs? HELLOOOOOOO, WORLD! ….Hi, friends. I’m still alive. I’m still around. Just…busy. Being an Adult. *sigh* We are nearing the halfway mark of the year (cue the Twilight Zone theme as we slow-zoom on the calendar), so I thought now might be a good time to look back on my New Year’s…

I wrote every day…for 5 years–what have I learned?
On December 31, 2015 I unofficially resolved to write something every day of 2016. I told myself it was “unofficial” because I wasn’t very confident that I could actually follow through. But I did. I wrote something–be it a free verse poem, a page of a story, a paragraph describing a trashcan, or a dialogue…

2020 Recap-discoveries, first attempts, and books galore
Hello and Happy New Year, friends! So. 2020. It happened. That’s all I’m going to say about that. So let’s move on to talking about fiction! I consumed a lot of art this year. I devoured art. Escapism? ….Possibly. In the process of voraciously devouring all kinds of art, I made some new discoveries. Discoveries…

Summer recap–rereads, writing projects, and-whoa, podcasts exist
Hello friends! The summer is ending/has ended/it wasn’t even summer in the first place if you live in the southern hemisphere– Let’s just say, it’s the end of August. As always, I spent the summer: consuming as much art as possible in various forms doing my best to create some art of my own actively…

What I’ve been up to- Victorian Lit, Writerly Google Searches, and Snippets
Hello there, world! I hope you are all well and safe. This has been a rough and crazy year so far for everyone. I’ve been doing a lot of tap-dancing, baking and–strangely enough–compulsive cleaning in an effort to stay positive. Whatever works, I guess? By now, I’m sure no one is surprised anymore when I…

August Recap- Reading, Writing, and Dickens
Hark! The end of August is upon us! How time flies when you’ve been rendered unconscious by the heat of the sun. But I will spare you my endless squawking about the heat and tell you about much more important things that happened this month. Like books. Books Mister Max: The Book of Lost Things…

What Happens When a Bookworm Is Unable to Read Books (Terrible things, I assure you)
Terrible things happen when you take a bookworm away from their natural habitat. We are fragile, volatile creatures. We require books to survive and frequent visits to libraries, bookstores, and quiet, secluded rooms with comfy chairs to sustain us. If we are denied these, the consequences can be dire. Apparently whoever decided going to college…

July Recap- Reading, Writing, and Other Stuff (Maybe? Do I even do other stuff in my life??)
I did a lot this July. And by that I mean I left the house (multiple times!), read a bunch of books, wrote a lot, and actually ate salad. I am very proud of myself. It’s amazing what you can do with a whip behind you or a school in front of you APPROACHING AT…
