We’ve just gone through a historic heat wave and it’s only June, the summer has barely begun. It’s cooled down a little bit as of writing this which is great because the kids have just entered their test week. The downside is that I would bet very few of them have actually managed to get … Continue reading Summertime

The quiet inbetween
I learned about this concept a little while ago and wanted to write a post about it but didn’t have enough to say about it at the time to make it a full post, so I left the topic for a bit. I figured now would be a good time to revisit it. “Ma” is … Continue reading The quiet inbetween
From the depths of despair
Dramatic much? Obviously it is a bit of an exaggeration, but truthfully at times my life did feel like it was filled with despair. Now I’m not going to wax philosophically about how my problems are nothing compared to the larger issues plaguing humanity like famine, genocide and the boiling of our precious planet, but … Continue reading From the depths of despair
The Hesitant Hiatus
It’s been a very productive year when it comes to writing so far. I’ve been enjoying both of the stories I’m working on and although the progress on the actual Necromancer’s Daughter story has been very slow, the worldbuilding and thinking of what sort of characters I want to inhabit the world has been very … Continue reading The Hesitant Hiatus
The final stages of capitalism
I’m tired. The news has been a constant barrage of negativity and even after I cut out about 95% of my news consumption it’s still too much. The middle east is in a state of chaos again, Palestine is still not free, AI chatbots are teaching teenagers how to most efficiently kill themselves and now … Continue reading The final stages of capitalism
Editing and working hard
Hey folks, as I mentioned in last week’s post, there will not be a chapter this week. As of writing this blogpost - which I’m writing right before posting it - I haven’t even started on the next chapter yet, to be honest with you. I’m enjoying my spring break and although I have been … Continue reading Editing and working hard
The Riftwar Cycle
Before I was a writer, I was an avid reader. I got into writing at quite a young age, but it was the stories that I read as a child that influenced me to start to make my own. And at a young age I was already drawn to the fantastical. Sometimes throughout my life … Continue reading The Riftwar Cycle
Trading inspiration for productivity
I have been writing for a very long time. I’ve likely talked about this before, but when I was still in primary school and my age was still single digits, I would go to our little writing club which I had with some other guys from my school. We would sit in one of our … Continue reading Trading inspiration for productivity
Fuck the police
A Twitch streamer I used to watch would often refer to someone’s place of birth as their spawn point. It’s a bit of an odd way to look at it, but it also makes sense. If you are assigned a random spawn point at birth, things could be vastly different purely based on that one … Continue reading Fuck the police
All this effort, to make it look effortless
On the 2023 album So much for stardust, Fall Out Boy sings about many different themes. One the song Flu Game they sing about performing and being in the spotlight while going through things. According to people who did more research than me, a lot of the song is paying tribute to a Michael Jordan … Continue reading All this effort, to make it look effortless
