Looking back on Covid

I know what you’re thinking, the coronavirus is still there, and we’re not quite there yet, and you’re totally right. But after almost 18 months of worry, pessimism and anxiety, I think it’s good to start looking forward again with optimism. As of posting this, I’ve had both shots, and in a week from now … Continue reading Looking back on Covid →

5 Chapters later

So it’s been a while since I started posting chapters of the story I’ve been writing for a while: The Necromancer’s Daughter. This isn’t the first draft of this story and will by no means be the last. With that out of the way, this is a version I’m quite happy with. The first arc … Continue reading 5 Chapters later →

As those of you who … Continue reading I wrote 1000 words a day for 100 days straight →

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 →

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Mythology in Fiction

This post will contain a few minor spoilers for the Percy Jackson book series, so beware of that. Gods, titans, centaurs, demigods and all the fun problems this creates for your narrative. Percy Jackson is a wonderfully created story about what impact these creatures would have on modern day America.
