Loki came out this week. And, as a man who fully expected to hate that show, I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed the first episode. Will I enjoy all six episodes? Who knows. Can I emphatically say that its theme song is one of the best OST themes I’ve heard in a... Continue Reading →
Process in Progress #4 – The “Promises Tally” Run
Hello! It’s been a crazy week for me writing-wise. The last time I talked about my outlining process specifically, I explained that I had a hyper detailed system for laying out my stories before writing them. This post is about how I tweaked that outlining system this week. And how it was super satisfying. If... Continue Reading →
Let’s Talk About – SWOGing, A Star Wars Phenomenon That Just Made It To Resident Evil: Village
I finished Resident Evil: Village. And I have two things to say. First, in case you’ve heard different from certain websites or YouTube personalities, I will be the completely honest party and say, man, that game is not good. I can seriously go on an entire rant about conflicting game mechanics; bugs; bad conveyance; manipulative,... Continue Reading →
Process in Progress #3 – My Villain Isn’t Palpatine (and, Seriously, Thank God)
I had to do my taxes this week. They just got away from me. I was definitely spoiled last year, able to get to them at the point I naturally would have (in June), so when I learned that they were due earlier this year, my brain just kept hearing "Not yet though," until days... Continue Reading →
Writing Prompt Workshop #1 – Sensory Relay
Hey, everybody. This week, I thought I'd start a new series, which I'm calling "The Writing Prompt Workshop." I’m finally about to wrap up the outline for my rewrite of Memory, my 2015 NaNoWriMo novel, I figured now was the time to get a little practice in. Also, I’m just wildly pumped to actually write...

Edited in Post – The Falcon & The Winter Soldier
Disclaimer 1: Spoilers for The Falcon & The Winter Soldier. Seriously, if you haven't watched the entire series, read no further. Disclaimer 2: I enjoyed TF&TWS. After last week's post, I was happy that the finale answered a few questions I had and focused enough on Sam that I wasn't annoyed. Last week, I was... Continue Reading →
The Brown Main Supporting Character & The White Side Protagonist
I watched The New Mutants a few days ago. Based on the trailers, I was expecting something unique and hoping for something cool. What I got was something a little meh. And a lotta racist. Yeah, New Mutants really pissed me off. Because it starts and we're introduced to Dani Moonstar, our brown protagonist, and... Continue Reading →
Monster Showcase – Mother Longlegs from Kong: Skull Island
Disclaimer 1: Yes, this post contains minor spoilers for Kong: Skull Island, which I only point out because if you haven't seen it, KSI is actually good. Seriously, I just watched it for the first time earlier in this week, and I was floored not only by how entertaining it was but how that movie... Continue Reading →
Let’s Talk About – “Uncanny Mess Realism” in Worldbuilding
Welcome back! Or Happy . . . First Time Here? Uh . . . Welcome! Holy shit, I'm never trying to write a normal intro ever again. Today, I wanted to get back to writer talk. I have an important life update I'll drop on you guys, but nothing crazy . . . Well, it... Continue Reading →
Process in Progress #2 – The Character Wall
Hi there. I had a bunch of things I wanted to write about today, and, in choosing one, I wound up shooting wa-a-a-a-ay over the typical release deadline. Apologies for that. But I didn't want to publish another life update. And I didn't want to vent about my presence on social media either (which I'm... Continue Reading →
