Hello World!
Good evening everyone! As a long time fan of April Fool’s Day, and in honor of Rooster Teeth, I thought I’d celebrate by taking my site live on April 1st. When I was a kid, I used to write stories and fantasize that the world around me was filled with hidden wonders. At some point,…

The Big 250
I’ve always been the skinny one in my family. I was gangly and tall, and people often had trouble guessing my weight, even when I got heavier. Last week, however, I finally got onto the scale to see the damage from taking time off of my workouts and indulging in sodas and fast food. I…

A Journey to Reading
One of my all-time favorite pastimes was reading. I still enjoy it immensely, but it seems so much easier to turn on the TV or start doomscrolling through my phone’s social media apps than to sit down and crack open a book. For that reason, I promised myself I would read 12 books this year.…

Happy Independence Day!
Happy 30th anniversary of Independence Day, everyone! As we all know, Independence Day is a movie that officially released in theaters on July 3rd, 1996. It was so popular and well received that July 4th, the date that humans collectively fought off an extraterrestrial attack on the earth as one united planet, was forever memorialized…

Choosing to Learn is a Challenge Worth Facing
Happy (or at least good to see you on this) Monday, everyone! I want to apologize for the delayed release. I kept pushing off getting this one done and now the weekend is nearly at a close. I’ve been getting carried away with resting, and it has started to slow me down. Learning is my…

Changing Goals
One of my all-time favorite things to do is change goals. Did I say favorite? I meant frustrating. There’s so much to life that it feels like an insult not to want to do everything. The downside? It usually leaves me unable to do much of anything. And then I get frustrated, and either forget…

Injuries
It’s been a little over a week since I put the full force of my body onto the side of my foot, causing a popping sound and agonizing pain in my ankle. I did see my doctor, and while I’m still waiting to get my x-ray (I wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to…

Writing as the Job
When I was younger, I used to write down short stories. I forget if it was an exercise for school, or if I had just enjoyed writing. But when creative writing projects were issued, I would often dive into writing them. I still remember being set up to take the ACTs by the 8th grade…

Reading can be a Challenge
I want to apologize to anyone that was waiting for my Friday post. I had a problem with renewing my domain and wasn’t able to upload anything until now. It was a slip-up, and I’ve been noticing myself having trouble posting at regular intervals. I’d promised myself I’d make sure this stays consistent, but I…

Hollow Knight – Reconnecting with the Challenge
Hollow Knight is a game that I’ve played more times since I found it three years ago than I’ve played most games in my library. It’s a wonderful title that genuinely ramps up the challenge factor and encourages you to challenge yourself. In my first playthrough, there was a section of the game called the…

Rewards that are Fun
I have a laundry list of video games that I’ve bought with the immediate expectation that I would play it right then and there. Like any avid reader has a TBR list (To Be Read), I have a game shelf with a lot of TBP (To Be Played) games. And I just added another one…
The Absentminded Novelist
Writing a new book one distraction at a time.
