It’s been seven long years since I started writing this little blog. And I started preparing to write this post by reading all of my other anniversary posts. Every year in the past I’ve been surprised that I’ve kept writing. But after seven years, I think I’ll go ahead and keep writing. I’ve proven toContinue reading “Seven years of blogging. Let’s level up together”

My review of the Hero’s Journal
(This isn’t sponsored, but I was gifted a copy of Hero’s Journal for donating to Nanowrimo.) I received a Hero’s Journal during Camp Nanowrimo. And I was pretty stoked about it. You know me, I love a good notebook. Especially (gasp) a goal-setting notebook that is specific to my writing. This journal has been allContinue reading “My review of the Hero’s Journal”
My Review of Notion
So I’ve been using Notion for a couple of months now. I started using it after watching an Amanda Lee video on YouTube. She just made it seem so cool, I had to try it. I have a bad habit of trying new software and apps, spending hours moving all my notes and info overContinue reading “My Review of Notion”
Don’t Dream Low
Storytime, guys. Once upon a time, right before I started this blog, I managed a shoe store. And back then, I’d worked hard to get that position. I’d put in intense hours, said yes to abusive things. I did something I’m still pretty proud of and worked with several cheer squads to provide their shoes.Continue reading “Don’t Dream Low”
Writing Nonfiction-Research
Most of you know me as a speculative fiction author and blogger. But I’m much more than that. I am a Gemini after all, duality is in my very being. So I am a speculative fiction author and a blogger. But I’m also a critic and podcaster. And as if that weren’t enough, I’ve decidedContinue reading “Writing Nonfiction-Research”
Healthy living is actually good for you? Gross
I am a writer. I’m also a reader, podcaster, tv critic. And I have a day job where I work on a computer. None of these activities encourage much physical activity. All of these activities mean that the busier I am, the less likely I am to get any exercise at all. Honestly, at oneContinue reading “Healthy living is actually good for you? Gross”
Camp Nano, 2021
It’s that time again. July is a week away, and I’m getting ready to participate in Camp Nanowrimo. I almost decided not to do it this year, to be honest. A lot is going on in my life right now. I’m working on some big projects for Haunted MTL. I have a pretty big personalContinue reading “Camp Nano, 2021”
My favorite LGBTQ+ characters in speculative fiction
Representation matters. We know this. And as nerds, we know that the speculative fiction genre is full of great, and not so great, representations of the LGBTQ+ community. So today, I wanted to put a spotlight on my top six favorite examples. These are characters that are not caricatures, not stereotypes. They’re real, honest peopleContinue reading “My favorite LGBTQ+ characters in speculative fiction”
Writing to be read Vs. Writing to be heard

This has been said with love, as someone who complains too oftenContinue reading “Writing to be read Vs. Writing to be heard”
My favorite bullet journal spreads to keep your life in order and plants alive
This month I began my seventeenth bullet journal. Her name is Sage. In all this time, I’ve never really taken the time to share my bullet journal strategies or collections with you. I’d like to say I don’t know why, but I do. My bullet journal isn’t as pretty as most of the ones youContinue reading “My favorite bullet journal spreads to keep your life in order and plants alive”
