We've lost a lot of people in the past few years. Perhaps it just feels that way because there are so many other bad things, and so the losses hit harder. Perhaps it is just part of growing up. I've just recently entered my third decade. It's probably about that time. But you're never ready... Continue Reading →
News, mostly news
Recent releases, upcoming events, and a Black Roses update!
Captain Marvel: The rules of engagement
Happy one week anniversary of one of my favorite recent superhero movies. Let's talk about Captain Marvel. I've said before and I'll say again that I'm not a reader of the Marvel comics. I'm not much of a comic book reader in general. So my introduction to all Marvel superheroes is generally the one I... Continue Reading →
Anime Corner: Sexual violence in Dororo and Banana Fish
So I've been watching a lot of anime lately, due to having more than doubled my streaming services. I'm actually thinking about making a shoujo corner a regular feature of the blog just because I love shoujo so much. But I also occasionally watch stories outside of that genre. Anime watching, for me, contains a... Continue Reading →
MystiCon Recap: Shakespeare Edition

Multi-tasking, finishing, other

But I've been watching a lot of anime and probably you're going to get a lot of anime recommendations and reviews in March, so hold onto your hats. I think... Continue Reading →
A brief bit of personal and a story announcement
Oh man, friends, this year has gone so fast already. We're in February! February! Where I just....sold my first short story? Already achieving my NYE goal? Somehow? So yeah, I have a story called "At Love's Heart" coming out in Luna Station Quarterly on March 1st. It will be available for free online for a... Continue Reading →
Staying informed about the writing community
With that in mind, I wanted to share with you some Twitter accounts, websites, and generally informative paraphernalia for the writing-inclined. These links are mostly targeted towards fantasy and science fiction writers.
Upcoming events!
I wanted to go ahead and let everyone know what events I will be at this year so far. Roanoke Regional Writers Conference (tentative), January 25-26 I don't have any panels lined up, and this will largely be a networking conference for me. If you're interested in the craft and business of writing and want... Continue Reading →
