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...

Something to Read / Watch / Play – May 2021
I'm getting this post out a bit later than I normally would . . . for about the exact reason I decided to take a break this week. I had . . . a weird week. Not terrible, but definitely exhausting. I got my sleeping schedule in order, which is cool, but every night since,... Continue Reading →
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 →
An Essential Reset
I've been saving this one for a while, because, total honesty: I've just been recovering and processing a lot of stuff. But, to finally break some news, I moved out of that terrible room I was living in. The place with the neighbors downstairs blasting music all day every day. The neighborhood where I was...

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 →
A March Break . . . with “Creme” Eggs
Yeah. That's how they spell it. "Creme." Did I just Mandela Effect you? Cause I definitely just Mandela Effected myself when I glanced at the box. Anyway, hello! I'm taking a break today. On one hand because I woke up from weird dreams earlier. Dreams that were chok-full of people from my past. People I... 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 →
The “MCU Glorifies the Military” Hottake is Stupid, But This Other Take Isn’t
Like a large portion of America, I watched the finale of WandaVision this week. And, before I continue, I know this isn't what I said I'd write about. I will, forever and always, stop myself from making promises about what I'll write on Sunday, because it almost always changes. The thing is, like anything, WandaVision... Continue Reading →
