Hi Everyone! I was hoping to have this piece finished by today, but being sick for most of the week and still working from home has made this week a bit more difficult than expected. But I'm hoping to finish it over the weekend now that I'm feeling better. Still, here's a preview of the … Continue reading Artwork Preview
Ever since I finished the Percy Jackson series, I felt more inspired to continue my own writing. The infusion of Greek mythology and modern day life (modern for the time I suppose) was a fun twist. When I picked up Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard box set, I imagined that it would be … Continue reading Book Review: Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard – The Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan
Another book review, another Brandon Sanderson book I fell in love with. I wanted to finish The Reckoners though I was a bit hesitant after Firefight. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Firefight but it had introduced story elements that had me concerned how it would all come to an end. Thankfully Calamity finished The … Continue reading Book Review: Calamity 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
Hi Everyone, Sorry to say that I went on a brief hiatus for the month of March. I'm so close to finishing book 2 of the Legend of Nariko series that I wanted to go into overdrive to finish the draft. I can then submit to my editors, get it cleaned up, get the ARCs … Continue reading Brief Hiatus for March
Hi Everyone! Just wanted to mention that I'll be taking a break for the next few weeks. I'm hoping to finish writing the second book in The Legend of Nariko Series so I can hand it off to my editors. If all goes well I'll have it published in the fall of 2019. 🙂 I'll … Continue reading Break for the Holiday Season
Considering how much I LOVED the first book, Steelheart, I picked up Firefight without hesitation. I thought I would expect the same style of storytelling that was in the first book, more of David Charleston adorkable shenanigans. I was genuinely surprised at how different and questioning this story was but I loved it so much. … Continue reading Book Review : Firefight by Brandon Sanderson
Hi Everyone, My apologies, last week was a bit hectic with work and finishing up a painting commission so I was unable to read and write a book review. 😦 I will try to make a post this week about what I learned from the experience especially regarding meditative work state and just how much … Continue reading Delayed Book Review
Hi Everyone! My apologies as I was at PAX (The Penny Arcade Expo) for the long weekend I couldn’t finish a book review this week. But the experience I had at PAX was more than just playing video games for fun. I was inspired and learned a lot about working hard and staying focused. One … Continue reading Book Review Delay and Status Update
Recently I've been thinking a lot about the dynamic of the story's antagonist and what that really means. Most books I've read have typically had a forgettable protagonist, just someone for the protagonist to defeat in a battle of good vs evil. But a memorable story tends to have an opposing force that serves to … Continue reading The Antagonist : Person vs Person
