*insert music reference here* …since the last update. So we’re overdue! The life: not too crazy. My state survived the summer without too much of it burning down (so far). Hurray. Fall has arrived and with it the delight of rain (not sarcasm by the way) which comes with hot…

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.…

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.
