Consciousness and the Banned Book Baloney

Main point: where do you want to put your thoughts and energy? Here, we have this problem: MAUS, a book that came out in the 80s/90s (30–40 years ago), is now being banned. Shit, what are we going to do? First, is one book worth stressing over? Some suggest so…

2022: Week 6 — Progress and Patience

There’s a fine line of when to take a breath and when to move forward. We live in a continual state of motion and we live with an ever-expanding need for content, regardless if we’re producing or consuming. At the same time, the monetary and… I’d argue even intellectual value…

Make Memories Last with a Photo Yearbook

Let’s face it, most of us have hundreds of not thousands of photos on our phone. And, most of the time, that’s where they’ll remain until more storage space is required and we unceremoniously delete the least precious of them (baby’s first dump, etc.). While you may still wish to…

2022: Week 4 — Those To Do Lists

I’m going back to making weekly to do lists! If things have been holding ye back, mayhap its time for you as well. It’s probably best to start small… unlike this mess that runs on and on (not-shown: everything else, plus extra things). I recommend working with one piece of…

Treating Yourself at Night

My nightstand is usually a place of nightmares for the clutter-phobic; books, pens, magazines, loose change, bobbles and trinkets, and straight up garbage, oh yes, it’s a mess. Every once in a while, it’ll get organized. And, by organized, I mean everything is decluttered on top and everything else, often…

2022: Week 2- Creative Goals

We’ve already gone through the first week of 2022! Noice. Somehow it feels like a whole, other year has passed. A nasty, random, stomach bug is making the rounds, urging everyone, yet again to take things easy, slow down, and relish in some sweet, tender, cozy, self-care. On that note…

Rise Eterna (Game Review)

Looking for a leisure SRPG (strategy role-playing game)? Well, well, well… this gem might fit that need; let’s discuss! Please note: this is spoiler-free, in that the spoilers are free and not directly related to the story. First: Rise Eterna isn’t of Fire Emblem, Tactics Ogre, Disgaea, or Final Fantasy…

Creative Processing End of Year

Another chapter of our world’s world ends at a good place (The Good Place? Hopefully not!). A year ending on a Friday sounds nice. It has this idea of casualness. If it were a normal week, most of us would still have to work (though many still do, those poor…

Another Writing and Revising

I found myself dipping back into the macabre when writing another blurb in my 12 Day of Halloween Before Christmas series, which isn’t hard to do when dealing with the macabre. Especially in today’s world. I’ll share where I landed and how I arrived at it. I start with a…
