This week, much like any others, feels long when you work a full-time job, but just a bit of a mini-update for today's blog again. Next week, starting on the 28th, I'll be finally taking a real vacation. Which means no writing work, no nothing except for sitting on my buns and playing Kingdom Hearts [...]

[A Week Of] Embracing the New Year
The first week kind of just trickled in, but hello! I'm here, in 2019, and I'm working my buns to the burning brisket! So far in the first week, I've managed to send my novel "Gravekeeper" off to the editor, received it, and now it's prepping to go out into the world, but I'm not [...]
Santa’s Helpers [“The Final Lesson” Christmas Short]
Hey there everyone, happy Christmas! I decided that I would take the time to write a little short just for the holidays! It is an alternate-universe short story for my novel "The Final Lesson," and technically it would fall somewhere right in between both books. But as book two starts six months after book one, [...]
[Break-time] Week Four
The last week of my break is finally pushing its way in, and tomorrow is Christmas Eve! Just kind of a shame that my break wasn't, you know, fully a break, since I'm still working my day job on the side. But os'well, can't really complain about it. Not to your ears, anyways. So, what's [...]
[Break-time] Week Three
I've had a few firsts this week, going right into start of it. I got to attend my first public book release (not for myself), and one of my older cousins is currently visiting. It's the first time I've seen him in six years, and boy, does it show. I'm apparently taller. A lot of [...]
[Break-time] Week Two
This week was very fruitful for the gamer in me. Because it was the week that the Game Awards were underway, the week that Super Smash Bros Ultimate was released, and we also got new footage for the Kingdom Hearts 3 opening today! It. Is. Hype. First, I'm gonna talk about the Game Awards. Every [...]
[Break-time] Week One
You know, sometimes a break is supposed to be fulfilling and freeing. But I'm not the best at taking them. I think that unwinding can come in many forms. Creating something amazing, to me, that's a way to unwind. ~Shakyra Dunn I admit. I'm very proud of everything that I've accomplished for myself this [...]
The Rite of Wands: The Audiobook
I had the great honor of being a beta reader for this novel when it was first released back in 2017, and now I have the pleasure of getting to review the audiobook version! Fun fact: this is my first time not only reviewing one, but also listening to one, which is a nice milestone [...]
[A Week of] Completing a Novel
The last week of my life has been incredibly exhausting, but it has also been wonderfully fruitful for my creative state. In this week, I got to finish NaNoWriMo, but in a whirlwind twist, I won by completing my current novel project, "Gravekeeper!" It was two years in the making, and it's going to need [...]
[Witch-Like Wonders] Pages 5-6
We're back, back again, with a couple of pages to Witch-Like Wonders! These two would be wrapping up the intro pages, and with those done, I can officially get started on the first full chapter, which will be full of drabbles and fun spells, magic, mystics, and even some Edna-like charm! ....Yes, Edna. The cute [...]
