When I first started working at the mail, almost 8 years ago, I had no real direction in life. I had just finished my business economics degree and although those two years were a lot of fun (I mainly played Hearthstone in class instead of paying attention) I had only learned one thing throughout the … Continue reading 8 Years as a mailman

Your regularly scheduled schedule changes
Whenever May rolls around I’m always reminded of Justin Timberlake’s pronunciation of ‘me’ in the song ‘it’s gonna be me’. It’s so over the top that even Blink182 should probably take notes. But it’s also the time of the year where change is in the air. The rain and dark clouds disappear and it’s time … Continue reading Your regularly scheduled schedule changes
Update on the state of my laziness
Hello everyone, I wanted to check in about my current health, writing progress and just life in general. This blog is about me, after all, and sometimes you’ll find me rambling about my life just to get my thoughts on paper. For those of you who were looking forward to my review of Spice & … Continue reading Update on the state of my laziness
The Necromancer’s Daughter – Update
Here we are again. Two new chapters posted and I'm already stuck again. There will be no new chapter of The Necromancer's Daughter today. There are two big reasons why this series is going on hiatus again. I've been putting a lot of effort into my other series. Most of my time editing and proofreading … Continue reading The Necromancer’s Daughter – Update
Looking Back on 2021
2021 was not great. I think I can speak for many that on a global scale we’ve had issues. Our country was without a proper government for most of this year and the one that finally formed is not one I’m particularly happy with. Covid is still rampant and is doing a very good job … Continue reading Looking Back on 2021
NaNoWriMo was a success!
I did it. I wrote a total of 50.009 words over the span of 30 days! Out of those 30 days, there were only 2 days where I did not hit the daily goal of 1667 words. That’s how strict this challenge felt. Once I missed the goal once I was pretty much going to … Continue reading NaNoWriMo was a success!
Attempting NaNoWriMo
I’ve heard of NaNoWriMo a long time ago, but I’ve never had the urge to participate in it until recently. For those of you unfamiliar, NaNoWriMo is a yearly challenge where writers are challenged to write 50.000 words or more in the month of November. The idea is to focus on continuously writing without going … Continue reading Attempting NaNoWriMo
August 2021 – Monthly Playlist
I have made it back into the European Union safely! The UK was a scary lawless post-Brexit place and I’m glad I made it out alive.All jokes aside, I went to my best friends’ wedding and had a blast. I had to sign the document as a witness, which was scary, but it was great … Continue reading August 2021 – Monthly Playlist
The tricky thing about motivation
I make no secret of my poor mental health. Earlier this year I was dealing with some tough health issues which seemingly appeared as a direct result of the amount of stress I was under. I am doing generally better now. Not because I solved all of my problems, but moreso because a lot of … Continue reading The tricky thing about motivation
June 2021 – Monthly Playlist
It’s July! That means it’s time to post last month’s playlist as well as give you an update. I realized June was filled with updates, since my health got in the way of my productivity. I wrote 7400 words in June. That’s the lowest month by a margin of 17.000+ words so far. Having said … Continue reading June 2021 – Monthly Playlist
