Because it was the week that the Game Awards were underway, the week that Super Smash Bros Ultimate was released, and we also got new footage for the Kingdom Hearts 3 opening today! It. Is. Hype. First, I'm gonna talk about the Game Awards. Every [...]

[Break-time] Week One
You know, sometimes a break is supposed to be fulfilling and freeing. But I'm not the best at taking them. I think that unwinding can come in many forms. Creating something amazing, to me, that's a way to unwind. ~Shakyra Dunn I admit. I'm very proud of everything that I've accomplished for myself this [...]
[A Week of] Completing a Novel
The last week of my life has been incredibly exhausting, but it has also been wonderfully fruitful for my creative state. In this week, I got to finish NaNoWriMo, but in a whirlwind twist, I won by completing my current novel project, "Gravekeeper!" It was two years in the making, and it's going to need [...]
[Witch-Like Wonders] Pages 5-6
We're back, back again, with a couple of pages to Witch-Like Wonders!

[Witch-Like Wonders] Introduction
Here's the first official pages of my new manga, "Witch-Like Wonders," just in time for Halloween! I've been working on all the writing, and this is the artist (whom I want to credit properly, but I understand that they're busy.) Alternative: In Writing Or, for those of you that like it in writing rather than [...]
[A Week of] Planning Secret Projects
I decided to keep this week's blog post pretty brief and say that in the next couple of weeks, I'm going to be sharing a really fun project exclusively here first, and then possibly in other places down the line, but certainly here first! Would you like to know what it is? Well... I can [...]
[Self-Promo] Creating an Audiobook
"There is always hope to find in creating something magical." I don't usually add a lot of self-promo into my blogs, but I figured that today was a fine time given then I have a lot of news to work with! For the first time, I've taken the plunge to make a campaign towards releasing [...]
[Ad-Vices] The Four-Star Writer
Anyone that writes or creates knows that putting yourself out there as one such creator knows that the price to pay is criticism. As an author, I'm certainly no exception to that virtue, and in the two years that I've been published, I have to say, some days, the toll is pretty heavy. So heavy [...]
