Hello everyone! Sorry to report that the review I had planned for Scrivener this week is a bit delayed. I had hoped to dive into it and learn its features, benefits and costs to provide an in-depth look for new authors like myself.

Self-Reflection, Disappointment and Progress
At the start of the year, I had planned to finish the second draft of my book to give to my editors in hopes of publishing in the fall. It’s now May and I’m still not done writing it. This started hitting me a bit harder as I noticed Authors I look up to publishing … Continue reading Self-Reflection, Disappointment and Progress
The Huion KAMVAS GT-221 Pro review for the casual learning artist
Normally I would be posting a review for a book I had read the previous week, however something happened I hadn’t planned for. The Huion KAMVAS GT-221 drawing tablet went on sale for almost 40% off. Now I was very hesitant to buy it because even at 40% off it was still a lot of … Continue reading The Huion KAMVAS GT-221 Pro review for the casual learning artist
Book Review: Skyward by Brandon Sanderson
I fancied myself mostly as a fantasy author and reader. Magic and the idea of drawing the power from within had always been elements of storytelling I loved (very anime). But recently I was enamored with the idea of trying to write a science fiction story. Lo and behold, as I thought about it Skyward … Continue reading Book Review: Skyward by Brandon Sanderson
Book Review: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo
To start off my series of reviews for Self-Help and Inspirational Books, I thought I would begin with a book that helped me to revisit a fundamental aspect of life. I found out about Marie Kondo in the same way my friends and coworkers found out about her, through her Netflix Series, Tidying Up with … Continue reading Book Review: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo
Character Art: Thunder
With this art project I took some time to try out painting with greyscale as opposed to what I normally do with colors. At first it was incredibly difficult to get a hang of but eventually it became incredibly comfortable, a lot tidier, and so much easier to manage. I highly recommend any and all … Continue reading Character Art: Thunder

Book Review: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson (Mistborn Series #1)
For Christmas my wonderful partner surprised me with the tenth anniversary edition of the Mistborn series. I had heard of the series for a long time but was hesitant to tackle it for the sheer breadth of how large of a story it is. But having finished the first book in the series, I can … Continue reading Book Review: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson (Mistborn Series #1)
Book Review : Graceling by Kristin Cashore
I really enjoyed Graceling by Kristin Cashore. The story is a touching tale of a girl struggling to come to terms with who she is and what she’s capable of. While it’s not perfect, it is a charming and wonderfully written novel definitely worth your time. Character Development 9/10 While the story starts off a … Continue reading Book Review : Graceling by Kristin Cashore
Character Art : Asandra The Bloodfire
As part of my goals for 2019, I want to advance my skills as a digital artist. One of the best ways to improve is to always the parts most weakest. For myself, I find that my weakness is that I'm always putting off my art projects rather than finishing them. Each month I want … Continue reading Character Art : Asandra The Bloodfire
