Alright, I admit it – these update posts are turning out to be more of a filler or procrastination method than actual goals-and-meeting-them. However, I do also think they are necessary, and that’s not just my crafty laziness talking, so I’m going to keep doing them. There isn’t really much to say this time though –… Continue reading Update: Travel and Challenge Prep
So, I saw an interesting little post on Tumblr recently – a challenge titled 52 short stories in 52 weeks. I’ve always been envious of the artists on the internet who get so many fun ‘art challenges’ and ‘art memes’, so of course I’m going to try and tackle this one head one. Before I start,… Continue reading A New Challenge
As Koshimaty and Aeolus already know, after a year and a half of faithful service, at some point before 10:30pm on July 21, my laptop charger has broken. My current location in Canada is so remote that I will not be able to receive a new one until at the very least next week. My… Continue reading Sad News
It has recently come to my attention, and by that I mean three minutes ago, that as an aspiring writer, I always fall into a particular trap. No, no, it’s not like I don’t know the trap is there. It’s not that I’m not observant enough. The problem is that I’m not smart enough to… Continue reading A Rookie Mistake in Writing
I’ve had no less than three people call me out on the fact that my two week hiatus had turned into three. I can offer no excuses. All I can say is that I appreciate your interest in my blog, and I promise to do better from this point forward. I have a buffer, and… Continue reading Update: Back on Track
I didn’t want to have to do this, but I see now that I was ill-prepared for my summer schedule. I have eaten through my post buffer and will need time to rebuild it. I will take it as an accomplishment that it’s taken more or less half a year since I (completely) missed a… Continue reading Hiatus: Two Week Break
Hello, everyone – I am sorry to say that halfway through the year, it has finally happened. I missed a post last Saturday. It is now up, but regardless, I have been complacent. I can see that now that my buffer is down to three incomplete posts. Honestly, I lasted longer than I thought I… Continue reading Missed a Post
There aren’t enough poems about the aroace experience, in my experience. This past month, I’ve sought to rectify that. For now, I’m starting with poetry about the insecurities and discomfort that I attribute to my (lack of) romantic orientation, but in time perhaps I can write a love poem from the view of an ‘ace… Continue reading Poems of Insecurity
I live in a time in which I can say that I am a Slytherin and people understand what that means. It gives my peers a quick-map of my personality: ambitious, subtle, either cunning or possessing more-than-meets-the-eye. Probably quietly judgmental. Though not completely accurate, they would get a pretty good idea of what I’m getting… Continue reading Millennials, Writing, and Harry Potter
I’m at a stage in my life where everyone around me is entering new stages of their own. A few of my closest friends just graduated high school. One of them just got her first job. My younger brother has to consider going to college. My mother just kicked off as an entrepreneur. My hard-working… Continue reading My To-Do List by the Decade
