“What else had there been to do? Bravery, courage–what was courage? She had never figured it out. Not fearing, some said. Fearing yet going on, others said. But what could one do but go on? Had one any real choice, ever?” –from “The Day Before the Revolution” by Ursula K. Le Guin– There are plenty…

There’s something particularly nice about when a new week falls on a new month. I can’t believe it’s May! But the calendar insists it’s true, so I’ll roll with it. April was a blur, but so was March, so I’m just going to assume that’s what it’s all going to be like from here on…

We’re quickly approaching the end of the month of April (how in the world does it seem to go by so fast?), which means we’re overdue to sit down and have an interview with this month’s featured author, Sarah Gribble. Her story, “Lullaby Land,” is a short, bittersweet look at loss and grieving, bringing a…

I’m getting this post out quite a bit later than usual, all due to recovering from my semi-big C2E2 weekend. I know I say this every year and have yet to do it, but next year, I definitely have to get a booth. I had a really great time, even though I guess my cosplays…

You know, I have the worst time trying to think of ways to start these posts. It’s probably not nearly as tedious as my brain makes it to be if I were to simply say, “Oh, hey, look, it’s Monday again!” or “I can’t believe how quickly [insert month here] is going!” Those seem to…

Another Monday is here, and I have to admit, the last week sort of went by in a blur. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it is a little odd. Was it because my schedule was significantly different than I’ve been used to? Was it just that I got a lot of things done?…

At the beginning of the year, April seemed so far away, which was good, because April is C2E2 month, which meant I had plenty of time to get together my cosplay. But now April is actually here, and March seemed to fly by in a bit of a blur. I suppose there was a lot…

What a strange week I’ve had. Trying to look back on it, it all seems a little bit like a blur, mostly due to playing way too much Breath of the Wild, which I cannot regret at all because the game is amazing. Even with the constant distraction of wanting to traipse around Hyrule and…

Last week, I forgot to do my Monday Morning Reset post. I wasn’t too busy, I didn’t have too much going on, and I actually did all my usual reset things, I just completely forgot to make a post until about Wednesday, when I was all, “Oh, hey, that’s right. It was Monday two days…

It’s a little late in the month, so you’ve only got about one more week to read James Wylder’s thrilling space adventure story, “To Catch a President,” for free as our Featured Story for March, but it will be (pretty much) forever available in the World Unknown Review Volume III. After a bit of a…
