  • The 100 Books Project: Buddhism: A Very Short Introduction.

    “Individuals are thus the sole authors in their good or bad fortune.” “Buddhism: A Very Short Introduction” by Damien Keown As the title may suggest, this little guide to the basic tenants, beliefs, and history of Buddhism is a very short introduction. It was one of the books required for my university class that introduced…

  • RoW80 Check-In: December 7th!

    “Looking at Estialog and his tired eyes, his hunching shoulders, the intricate lines across his sallow, grey skin, Gilferen realized that Knolan was not nearly as old as he and Locke made him out to seem. It was merely that they were so young.” Fellow readers, RoWers, and enthusiasts, brace yourself. I’m about to deliver…

  • The 100 Books Project: A History of the World in 6 Glasses.

    “If the sun never set on the British Empire, it was perpetually teatime, somewhere at least.” “A History of the World in 6 Glasses” by Tom Standage This is a book that has been on my To-Be-Read list for a long time, and my roommate happened to have a copy, as it usually is with…

  • RoW80 Check-In: December 4th!

    “‘Temperamental?’ asked Jaxson, who didn’t know any better, his voice dripping with his sarcasm. ‘I know our young Gilferen here has a penchant for putting fire in women’s hearts, but this easily exceeds any prior scorned lovers thus far. What’d he do, love? Nasty disease, was it?’” Though this Sunday seems distinctly lacking in sun…

  • Flash Fiction Friday?

    I don’t usually do “themed” posts. With the exception of RoW80 check-ins, I usually just write all willy-nilly about whatever may come to my mind and present itself more freely. This morning, though, after a long and crazy (in a good way!) week, I’m feeling at a loss for what to write about. Call it…

  • #NaNoWriMo and some Thoughts.

    It’s December 1st, and I did not win NaNoWriMo this year, just as I have not won it in the past three years that I’ve made the effort. I have to admit, though, I made a hell of a good showing and got much more dedicated, focused, and further along than I have in any…

  • RoW80 Check-in: November 30th!

    “‘Are you crazy?’ he demanded back, throwing up his arms in frustration. ‘Why would I be following you? Me and my five friends, no less, because we’ve nothing better to do than stalk around, following mad women through the streets. Hadesari’s Mask! What did I do to piss off the Ana’aea’aek now?’” Happy Wednesday, everyone,…

  • Yesterday was one of those days that show up and make me realized exactly how much I want to be a writer. After a long, stressful weekend pushing the sales market, it felt so incredibly fulfilling to just spend a day, working on my craft, writing up a storm, maintaining the housework, and reading through…

  • The 100 Books Project: Caliban Cove.

    “They’d probably still die. But if they could pull it off, they wouldn’t go alone.” “Resident Evil 2: Caliban Cove” by S.D. Perry I don’t know exactly what it is about these Resident Evil books that I love so much. I know it’s not the quality of the books. While they’re not terrible, they’re not…
