I beat Link’s Awakening for the first time since I was a kid, via the lovely Switch port. It’s consistently been one of my favorite Zelda games, with only Ocarina of Time and maybe Breath of the Wild edging it out. Suffice to say, I have a lot of feelings about it. I was gonna… Read More Thoughts on Link’s Awakening
I discovered Chris Fox through Instagram. I’m pretty sure it was Instagram. I found an ad for an eBook titled ‘5,000 Words Per Hour.’ This is, of course, kind of a ridiculous goal, but I started reading and it put forward a decently well-explained method to do what the title says. I found that he… Read More Destroyer: A Review
So in the interests of writing something here, I thought I’d write a bit on a game I played recently, with a really silly title. Popful Mail was released on the Sega CD, which was itself an add-on to the Sega Genesis, back when add-ons to video game consoles were seen as a good way… Read More Thoughts on Popful Mail
A friend just asked on Facebook what tips I might have for staying motivated while researching/writing. Instead of making a few concise bullet-points, I figure I’ll just blow it out into a whole blog post since, well, I do need more posts on this blog. Not to mention I’m not a very concise person about… Read More Staying Motivated
Header image via Morguefile. So here we are again. May to September. No point in dwelling on that, I suppose, though I did manage to finish the draft of The Witch and the Snake…back in July.

Summary of what I’ve been doing with my life since January, as rambling and random as always.… Read More Testing the Lights
You thought I forgot about this, didn’t you? Jeeze, about a month has passed since I last did this, hasn’t it? And here I am again frantically writing this post on a Thursday, two days before it’s supposed to go live. I’m definitely interested in writing more about this, but it’s been getting a little harder to… Read More Building Salazarre, pt. V
One of the longer reviews I’ve written in recent memory. For a book with 1,000+ pages, it’s fitting.… Read More The Way of Kings: A Review
So I’m at a loss for a blog post this coming weekend. It’s a Thursday as I write this, so I’m coming up against the clock a bit. I’ve got another book review scheduled for next week, but I’d rather not do two of those in a row. I figured I’d do another of these… Read More Dreaming of Houses
Book reviews are something writers do, right? I’d like to review the books I’m reading after I’m done with them, it’s a pretty decent way to get blog posts. Ideally I’d be tying it into how it inspired me in my own work, though I feel that could get narcissistic quickly. But, writers are supposed… Read More The Woman Who Would Be King: A Review
