So, attempting to get back to my regularly scheduled program: I’m not sure if I’ve ever had a worse end to the year than 2016. However, I can also say, I’ve never had a better start than 2017. Those of you who follow me on Tumblr might have noticed my minute in the spotlight back… Continue reading Update: Kind Words
So, I don’t have a lot of time this week – you might have noticed that, by now – so let me just tell you something quick. Brisk and unedited, but just to bring something to your attention: Every culture has its mythos, be it youkai or fair folk or otherwise supernatural entities. Tapirs that devour… Continue reading Urban Folktale 1
So, did you notice the conspicuous lull on my blog lately because I sure did. I wish I had a better excuse, but really it’s just that schoolwork has caught up to me and I was unable to meet the goals I set for myself. One class in particular is giving me grief. Intermediate Arabic… Continue reading Oh boy, here we go again
So, this Tuesday is Valentine’s Day, and to all you happy couples (or groups!) out there, I hope you have a wonderful celebration. To all you with romantic crushes, I wish you luck, and to those with platonic partners to spend the (commercial) holiday with, have fun! Everyone else, I hope the holiday is at… Continue reading A Romantic Aromantic

A Picture Book – January 7, 2017 One step, two step Green step, red step Step light, Stop light White light Night night Sleep Deprived… Continue reading Poetry: No theme, just things
So, reviewing my blogging system from the past year, I think I’ve settled upon a schedule that I can live with. The short-story-a-week challenge was a lot of fun, but the writing pace meant that I couldn’t devote any time to the novels that I should be working on. Sometimes I felt the urge to… Continue reading Update: Schedule Decided!
So in actual fact, I’ve been considering, but I think it would be a good idea for me to make it so that every year, I take a break from blogging in January. It’s a fresh start to a new year, and January is the month where I should step back and ponder my next… Continue reading Plans for This Blog
Most people of my generation are calling 2016 a hellish year. You all know I’m on Tumblr – I’ve seen the memes, and I’ve reblogged a bunch too. In the end, though, I don’t hate the year 2016. To me, 2016 was a year of firsts. It was my first year of being 20 years… Continue reading Happy New Year
Happy Holidays, to all you folk out there, whatever you may celebrate. I hope your festivities are delightful. As for me, well, I grew up celebrating Christmas, so that’s what this post will address. And though I send you all heartfelt well-wishes, the ultimate purpose of this blog is for my own self-improvement, and as… Continue reading Happy Holidays
((I meant to seriously return to the short story challenge this week, but I’ve had a rough last few days of the semester. No one in my surroundings would know that, actually, but in the comfort of my blog, I can admit to it, and I can learn to live with it. Writing what I… Continue reading Poetry: High Negativity
