Hello everyone!I want to say happy new year, but to be honest the past week and a half has made 2026 feel like a very worrisome year for many of us.

My Top 5 Characters of 2025
The end of the year is always my favorite time to reflect back on the stories I enjoyed most. A big reason is usually because the characters in the story are either so endearing or so compelling that I can’t help but feel moved by their journey.

Author Update: Inspired but Tired
Hello Everyone!It’s been a rather tiring month getting used to working full time in office again. The fact that I can even complain about that is rather privileged when I think about it to be honest.

Book Review: Secrets of the Silent Witch by Matsuri Isora
Light novels are a new concept for me, something I’m not quite familiar with as I’ve only recently discovered what they were. I’ve often got the comment that my own books reminded people of an anime style story, the Japanese storytelling style of Kishōtenketsu which is a four act structure as opposed to the traditional … Continue reading Book Review: Secrets of the Silent Witch by Matsuri Isora
Achieving Creative Goals While Working Full Time
Something I’ve never really discussed before was the reality that almost all of us don’t have the luxury of dedicating a lot of time to fulfilling our creative passions. Most of us have to work for a living to sustain ourselves and that in of itself takes up the majority of our day during the … Continue reading Achieving Creative Goals While Working Full Time
