Best books of 2019
I'm not the best with consistency. The first time I did the best books of, I wrote about my favorite books that I read that year, despite when they came out. In 2018, I wrote about the best of the best that came out that year with Goodreads blurbs. So... This year, I decided to … Continue reading Best books of 2019

How to get unstuck during NaNoWriMo
It's easy to get stuck during NaNoWriMo. After writing 31,673 words in nineteen days or even 5,000 words in a few days, what else can I write about? The story has a plot, but there's no clear path of where the story is going. I've gotten to this point many times during this NaNoWriMo. Before … Continue reading How to get unstuck during NaNoWriMo

There's always awards—a winner—when it comes to creative arts. A favorite to pick. But it doesn't have to be that way. I attended a music festival a while back. I stood surrounded by different genres and styles. Artists with more stage lights and fireworks played at the end. Those artists, of course, were more popular … Continue reading Can an artist be less than or equal to another?

Blogs without the love (2017)
With the way the world works, some of my best posts have drowned in the water before they could swim. Few people will look back on them anymore. But just because they're old, doesn't mean they're lost forever. As the year comes to an end, it's time to remember the whole journey. Here's a list … Continue reading Blogs without the love (2017)
Best books of 2017
Over the past year, I read almost fifty books. Thanks to college, I probably read more than that without realizing it. It was difficult to choose a single book to look back on for 2017. So, instead, I chose a whole list of them. Clockwork Girl by Athena Villaverde This novella had three short stories … Continue reading Best books of 2017
