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…

Continue reading →: An excerpt from Bre’s book collectionI’ve been going through my backlog of books lately (spoiler alert there are many) and found my Harvard Classics series, which I’d all but forgotten about. I’ve included a few pictures below.

Continue reading →: Write in the Wild #2: Continuing
It starts like this: you can’t write. Or at least, not consistently. You can do it for work or last-minute for class. But on your own, for the stories you’re burning to tell, something always comes up. Even when you lock yourself away, avoiding a night out with friends to…

Continue reading →: Write in the Wild #1: Beginning
I’ve read a decent amount of writing about writing, particularly when I was younger and more concerned with the quality of my work rather than, you know, just doing the thing. Some of that advice was helpful. Some was not. Regardless, it always seemed to come from the same kind…

Not to get sentimental or anything but what a year, right? *It is in fact February 1st* I mean… *gestures at entire calendar starting in January 2020 to now* You know what I mean. Here’s a slight list of things that occurred in the last 12 months of my life…

(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…

I never thought of myself as a perfectionist. In my mind, I pictured such a person as a type-A personality with a daybook on them at all times, coupled with an immaculately clean house and pristine outfit choices. As a disorganized, messy sort who loves to procrastinate, I figured my…

As previously mentioned on this blog (literally two posts ago lol) I always have a notebook with me, which I eventually fill up over time. The current notebook, #15, is nearing the end of its lifetime of service. While going back through it, I realized how much of it is…

Underwater flowers! It’s not exactly a new thing (a quick Google search will pop up many a DIY tutorial) but it’s new to me and very dramatic-looking. Basically, you submerge the flower(s) with a fishing weight, bury rocks around the base along with a waterproof light and voila! Cool ,…
