Continue reading →: Book review: Red Rising by Pierce BrownI read many books I would describe as ‘good’. They interest me to the end and have decent worldbuilding and characters. However, the books that end up inspiring me, the ones that gnaw at the edges of my mind for months or even years afterwards are much harder to find.…

Continue reading →: Write in the Wild #3: The Work of itThis one’s about lessons from journalism. See, good books and the occasional writing teacher taught me about joy: the spark of writing, the feel of it, how to spot the muse and entice it to stick around. This important in the beginning. You have to learn the love. But then…

I just moved so all my stuff is in boxes (and a bit of my brain as well) so there’s no well-thought-out post today. In the meantime, please enjoy this twitter account about cool ocean creatures.

Continue reading →: On Book ReviewsThey will happen! On this very blog! (At some point.) I do book reviews a bit differently on this site. For one thing, there’s no timeline. I’ll pick up a 60-year-old book as easily as a new release and want to write about it. (I read Stephen King’s Carrie for…

The virus has been around for a bit but schools officially closed in Oregon today. (The Governor officially announced the order Thursday night). Things went from ‘this is like the last swine flu scare’ to ‘this is unprecedented‘ in about 5 seconds. I’m lucky. I’m young. My job is in…

(Side note: Do people still use the word ‘cool’?) It seems I am perpetually late to the party when it comes to what’s exciting/up-and-coming/interesting/new/etc.. I’m not sure why or how. All I know is I have a penchant for showing up 15 minutes late to the fandom with Starbucks long…
