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 [...]
[A Week of] Balancing a Drained Life
November is always a stressful month for me. I always find myself with an insane amount of projects no matter how much I try to clear my plate. It always seems to be the biggest burden for me, what with the holidays right down the block and my new full-time job snagging me from a [...]
[A Week of] Planning Secret Projects
I decided to keep this week's blog post pretty brief and say that in the next couple of weeks, I'm going to be sharing a really fun project exclusively here first, and then possibly in other places down the line, but certainly here first! Would you like to know what it is? Well... I can [...]
[Ad-Vices] The Four-Star Writer
Anyone that writes or creates knows that putting yourself out there as one such creator knows that the price to pay is criticism. As an author, I'm certainly no exception to that virtue, and in the two years that I've been published, I have to say, some days, the toll is pretty heavy. So heavy [...]
[A Week of] Achievement Hunting
I decided that this is going to be my new segment for my blogs, usually when I'm speaking on less advice-like moves, more groundbreaking and fun aspects! So, what's today's? What to Expect When You're... Hunting Much like a video game where you're hunting down your trophies and achievements, there is success for you to [...]
