When it comes down to it, the only question that matters is this: If nothing in the world ever changes, what type of man are you gonna be?” -Nic Stone, Dear Martin.

Book Review: Illuminae
Hi there. I actually finished reading Illuminae weeks ago but it took me a while to get to the point where I was ready to write my review. It is such a unique book, and sci fi is not even usually my genre. But this. This is sheer genius, and I think everybody should give … Continue reading Book Review: Illuminae
POEM: April 3 [seaborne]
Book Review: Nevernight
Book Title: Nevernight (Amazon, Goodreads) Author: Jay Kristoff Genre: Dark Fantasy My Rating: 5 / 5 stars **SPOILER FREE REVIEW** This book was phenomenal in every way, in my opinion.

Once upon a time, I was 25 years old and had just moved to a whole new city with my sweet boyfriend to start a graduate program.

Robbed of words
I wanted to participate in NaNoWriMo, but then my laptop died. And then the election happened. And I found myself at a true loss for words. (And my laptop still isn't working, so there's that problem too.) So no NaNoWriMo for me this year. I'm not writing the next great American novel, or even the … Continue reading Robbed of words
Resumption
Resumption /rəˈzəm(p)SH(ə)n/ noun 1. the action of beginning something again after a pause or interruption. That's what this is, I suppose. All of a sudden I looked around and realized, hey, I have time to start writing again. I don't suppose there will be a single person even looking at this thing, and that's okay. … Continue reading Resumption
