Investigating which books and movies are worth your valuable time as I write my own stories.
Hello, everyone! It has quite literally been two years since my last update. I have been so busy. Life be life-ing. But I am on fall break for work and have been going hard on the WIP, POWER OF WIND. I have added almost 10,000 words this week alone, getting me that much closer to … Read More “I’m back again!” »
Hello, world! It has been an adventure in my personal life, going through job changes and life events. I recently had left my job of 3 years because the environment was getting way too toxic. (I hate saying that, but it’s the truth.) In doing so, it has given me lots of time to work … Read More “Updates on the WIP!” »
Hello, all! Once again, it has been quite a time since I last updated. Things in my life have shifted, some for better and some for worse, but I am hoping to make some good progress on my ventures in the literary world. I have been done with the end of the Knockemout trilogy for … Read More “BookLook #5: Things We Left Behind by Lucy Score” »
Hello, everyone! I ended up getting my hands on a copy of the sequel to Score’s Things We Never Got Over, which was a fantastic read. This one was fantastic, as well. However, I didn’t like it nearly as much as the original. In this book, we follow adjacent characters to the Naomi-Knox duo in … Read More “BookLook #4: Things We Hide from the Light by Lucy Score” »
Hello, all! Before I dive in, I would just like to let everyone know the site will be undergoing some changes. While this theme and style is crisp and organized, I need to make it match my “authorial identity” a bit more for my last class (woot woot!). It doesn’t really read fantasy or sci-fi…so … Read More “BookLook #3: Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score” »
Hello, world! It has been a hot minute since I’ve last posted, as you can tell. I really got discouraged after my second BookLook because of the controversy, and I had two tough classes back-to-back that wiped out all of my energy to even pick up a book and read for fun. However, I am … Read More “FilmLook #1: A Few Good Men” »
Hey, everyone! So for my second BookLook, I’ve been reading Wicked Saints by Emily A. Duncan. However, I will not be doing a formal review of this one for a reason I never thought I’d encounter. I’ll try to keep all of this as neutral as possible and state only what I know, as all … Read More “Complications with BookLook #2…” »
Hello, everyone! So I finished Shadow and Bone over the weekend and was overall very pleased. I’d never heard of it before the show’s release on Netflix, but I enjoyed it so much I wanted to see what the book was like. There are a lot of differences, both good and bad, as always. Lots … Read More “BookLook #1: Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo” »
Hello, everyone! I’ve already started reading Leigh Bardugo’s Shadow & Bone for the first official BookLook. I’m about halfway through it now, so expect to see a formal review soon. I felt it necessary to read this one for a multitude of reasons, one of which is that it’s a comparable title for my WIP … Read More “First BookLook in progress: Shadow & Bone” »
This is my very first post, obviously. I’ve never gone out on a limb so much as I have for this website. Truthfully, I’m an aspiring author, but I thought it would be a good experience to start doing this and to get my name out there on the internet. Perhaps one day I’ll have … Read More “Welcome to the blog!” »
