August is Read Romance Month and I have to be honest, I didn't become a huge fan of romance until a few years ago. I always avoided the strictly romance read because I thought it was beneath me. You know that all high and mighty teenage superiority complex. But as I got older I've realized … Continue reading Romance Read Recommendations
There's still over 4 days left in July and I can't lie. I didn't even attempt to participate. I wanted to. I spent days trying to figure out a plot or to work on the workbooks I wanted to create. But July became something else for me. I took part in alternative creative ways. I … Continue reading An Early Camp NaNo Tap Out
We are well into Camp NaNo. We are well into the yearly summer challenge. Some aren't doing NaNo but I know that the summer is when I want to challenge my writing more (mostly because I tend to slack off if I don't). So today I've brought to you some alternative ways to work on … Continue reading Alternative Ways to Flex Those Writing Muscles
2021 has already been a reflective year. I thought 2020 was with how much we had to exist with ourselves and for me a lot happened last year, but nothing could have prepared me for my back giving out in 2021. It puts a lot of things in perspective when your body fails you. I … Continue reading Personal Post: Getting Older is for Suckers (Another Year Wiser?)
It's already a week into July Camp NaNo and I have accomplished nothing. My goals this month are more quiet and relaxed. Every NaNo I try to push myself to do big plans. I even tried to do the 80K in 90 Days. I've tried to do Millwordy. But 2021, specifically, it's been a year … Continue reading July Camp NaNoWriMo Plans

There are a few on this list I would never like in adult fiction, and I'll explain below. So let's get into it. Love … Continue reading 5 Favorite YA Tropes
As posts before indicated, I bit off a lot more than I could chew in May. I told myself that I could totally read four books for the #AsianReadathon in May but honestly it took me far longer...mostly because the first two weeks was just me sleeping off a surgery. I didn't finish my last … Continue reading #AsianReadathon Book Review (Only a Month Late)
First, let me clarify. Tropes aren't bad, and I feel like I should write about that in the future, but we all have our favorites and our least favorites. Just like genres, flavors of ice cream, and styles of clothes, we have tropes we just never like seeing. Today I'll break down the five young … Continue reading 5 Least Favorite YA Tropes
Mass Effect Legendary Edition came out just a few weeks ago and I've spent a few days playing through one of my favorite video game series. It was one of the games that helped convince me to write a whole thesis on video game journalism. It was why I created a news segment project in … Continue reading In Defense of Fanfiction
I am so behind on my reading list but that doesn't stop me from making lists about more books I want to read. 2021 has had a ton of books being released and the second half is sure not to disappoint. We'll see how many I'll actually read in a timely matter. Anyone have a … Continue reading Books I’m Looking Forward to Second Half of 2021
