I wrote 1000 words a day for 100 days straight

I’ve been writing stories on and off for the past (almost) 20 years, but ever since I started getting a bit older I’ve been struggling. As those of you who … Continue reading I wrote 1000 words a day for 100 days straight →

Originality in Fiction

I have been writing stories for a very long time now. The first time I put pen to paper as a hobby was when I was only 9 years old. That’s almost 2 decades ago now, I think I’m getting old. Back then I had a little writing club with some of my friends. I … Continue reading Originality in Fiction →

You’re the inspiration

You’re the meaning in my life, you’re the inspiration. I don’t think I’m the only one who experiences this feeling. Writing is my passion. I love thinking of stories, writing about things I like, creating worlds, stories and characters. But when it comes to actually putting those on paper, I struggle.

I took a walk today

Now in the grand scheme of things it’s arguably not that impressive to take a walk. I know that, but hear me out regardless. I’ve been going through a rough patch. Nothing major, but I’ve had some health issues (currently diagnosed with Tietze syndrome, which means chest pains that eventually go away, but kind of … Continue reading I took a walk today →

Mental health in 2021

Unfortunately I couldn’t get Kaylirr’s Yin and Yang to a place where I was happy enough with it to post it. Instead have this post about why my mental health is spaghetti. I don’t know about you guys, but I had almost convinced myself that 2021 was going to be a better year than 2020 … Continue reading Mental health in 2021 →

Now we’re stressed out

2020 was a tough year, and with the way 2021 is shaping up to be, it’s not going to be a big improvement any time soon. Of course, the recently started vaccination is a good step in the right direction, and there is some light at the end of the tunnel, but in the more … Continue reading Now we’re stressed out →

2020 in hindsight

2020 was the year I was going to get my shit together. I had big plans pertaining to writing again, after spending several years on and off trying without much success.
