I do not know where to start explaining how weird the last two weeks have been. I guess I’ll start chronologically. Two weeks ago, I talked about how I was going to get into graphic design. That, like most things, is going to take significantly longer than I thought; I’m still building a portfolio and... Continue Reading →
Had a Long Week / Taking a Break
Hey, everyone. This'll be an extremely short one. I just wanted to come on here and say I'm taking a mental health day today. This week wound up being a total mess. Not a mess related to the graphic design aspirations, although that isn't exactly going smoothly. I will absolutely be back next week with... Continue Reading →
Full Disclosure: I’m Trying to Get Into Font Design, but It’s Making Freelance Graphic Design Look Easy, So I’m Doing That Too
A few weeks back, I dropped a hint that I was working on making digital products as a way to earn money while looking for a new job during the pandemic. But also, in classic-me fashion, when I talked about all of this, I added that I'd be releasing that product "this weekend." I've since... Continue Reading →
It’s Time to Keep Fighting
I . . . I don't even know where to start. Yesterday, by 10PM, I had a massive headache from crying happy tears. I didn't think I'd cry at all at first. But then . . . https://twitter.com/LSantiagoAuthor/status/1325151961054908417 And I just want to clarify that I wasn't being dramatic there. The sensation that hit when... Continue Reading →
The Last Weekend of America
I told a friend that I'm going to a liquor store tomorrow. My exact words were, "It's the season finale of 2020 on Tuesday, and we're going to find out if this year was written by George R. R. Martin." And, yeah, that sums up what I'm feeling right now. I don't think I can... Continue Reading →
Taking a Week Off
I just spent a few hours writing a post that was supposed to be fun . . . that turned into something really negative. And, full disclosure, that's because of the news, which I cannot fucking deal with anymore this week. Seriously, I already voted, but the pressure of November 3rd was not influenced a...

Let’s Talk About – That Nostalgic FOBU
It turns out the board game I've been working on is very similar to a game that already exists, called Nemesis. They aren't identical, which is the great thing; I spent so much time over the last few years working on my game, Voidsong, that I'd be legitimately depressed if it was accidentally identical to...

By July, Everything Changed
I attended a vigil on June 5th. It was for Breonna Taylor, on her birthday. In the constantly evolving insanity that is this year, I can't post those pictures because the vigil turned into a march and all of my pictures show protesters' faces. For all the time I was there, it was peaceful, but... Continue Reading →
2019 – One of the Worst & Most Important Years of My Life
I had . . . plans for this year. Thinking back to January, I remember being bright-eyed with wonder and excitement about my creativity. I don't remember why. I'm not saying I lost my love for writing this year. I just got hit by life so hard that I genuinely don't remember why I was... Continue Reading →
Ladies and Gentlemen . . . We Have Fan Art
This is going to be a short one. But an extremely essential one. A month or so ago, a friend of a friend asked to read "Aixa the Hexcaster." It's a request I get pretty rarely, and I understand why: nothing is worse for a non-writer than reading a writer's work, finding out that it's... Continue Reading →
