Last month I started Jaymin Eve’s SUPERNATURAL ACADEMY series-the books, not the Peacock animated series set in the same world. I’d heard about the show and the indie author making it big with a filmic adaptation of her works story. Naturally, I was eager to dive in and get to know the characters and their world. I finished the first two books ( Read more... )

When the news broke that all the Marvel shows were leaving Netflix on March 1, I found myself in a bind. I hadn’t watched them, any of them, and there were only two weeks to try to binge what I could. Now, I was pretty sure that Disney would put them on Disney+ or Hulu, so that I could still get to them somewhere. However, since Disney wasn’t ( Read more... )

I’ve started my second week of furlough, and I’m using the time to attend ProWritingAid’s Fantasy Writing Week Workshops. The sessions are free, and while they have been a mixed bag, the solid sessions were very informative/helpful. Even some of the weaker ones gave me information about resources I wasn’t familiar with. For example, Inkarnate’s ( Read more... )

So that month I mentioned in the January recap, the one where I’m going to feel down and that I’m off-track and not accomplishing things? That month is February. While I did consume a lot of story in media, I didn’t make any appreciable progress on other goals ( Read more... )

One of my goals this year is to write a poem a month, and since I am sometimes needing motivation, I figured I’d write something to submit to an online speculative poetry magazine. However, I looked at the theme for the first quarter (the submission deadline is 3/15), and it is notional ekphrasis. And yes, I had to look up what that was too ( Read more... )

Been feeling a bit down this week. Physically, I’ve been feeling worn as I fight off an infection. Mentally/emotionally, I’ve been feeling sort of washed out and drained. Faded. I think it’s all the work stress I’ve been carrying around for the last eight months flaring up again as I try to prepare for another month of losing more of my savings ( Read more... )

Challenge #13 ( Read more... )

There’s a bit more than a week left in January, and I’m cautiously optimistic on where I am with all the new things that I put on my schedule for this year. Will I hit all my goals 100%? Nope. Is that okay? Ummm, well, while my personal Demon of Disappointment and Criticism is urging me to say, NO., I think I must be running out of fucks to ( Read more... )
