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…

A game is Afoot
Well, I got sick over the weekend again. I have a weird problem with being sick: I can’t sit still knowing there’s work to be done, and I push myself to get whatever projects I can completed while I’m stuck at home. The weird part? I couldn’t be bothered to do those tasks when I…

Running is a Journey
Over the years, I’ve done a lot of running. In my mid- to late-twenties, I began running 5Ks. I still remember the embarrassment I’d felt when I missed that marathons are not the default name for running events. I’d scared my church group when I told them I’d start my running with a marathon, only…

No more plans
Happy Friday, everyone! I made plans to talk about my trip to Japan. I’m still having trouble uploading pictures to this site, so I’ll be spending the weekend overhauling the website. I may even go back to my old HTML days and build the site entirely from scratch. I hope not, though; I forgot like…105%…

Europe Cruise 2025
Hello! I apologize for the late post; I promised myself I’d get it done first thing in the morning, then BAM! Overslept, worked late, went to a trivia night with family, and now I’m trying to get it online before midnight. Timelines, am I right? Yes! Which is why I’m working to save up posts…

Reading the Scene
Hi All! Per my post on 4/1, I’m going to quickly tear through some of the comics I’ve read over the years. It does explain why I want to make my own, even if it doesn’t make sense to anyone (myself included). Let’s start with the basics: obviously, I read the Sunday newspapers. Well, the…
The Absentminded Novelist
Writing a new book one distraction at a time.
