I was wondering for the longest time why someone would read a book they’ve already read. It always felt like something that was ruined simply because you already knew the ending. But I thought I would give it a try seeing as it’s been quite a while since I’ve read my favorite series and, in … Continue reading Book Re-Review: Shadow of the Fox by Julie Kagawa (Shadow of the Fox #1)

Plan for 2024 for a better year
Hello Everyone! A bit late for 2024, but I aim to have a more structured and planned out year than 2023. Last year felt like a lot of meandering where I wasn’t very focused on my writing and my book writing stagnated because of it. But I want to make 2024 different. I want to … Continue reading Plan for 2024 for a better year
Start of 2024 and hopefully a better year
Happy New Year everyone! First week of 2024 has been pretty productive, mostly sorting out my plans for the year and how to make sure it’s better than 2023. Last year was certainly not the best, but there were some upsides. I did manage to finish writing book 3 which is in the editing phase … Continue reading Start of 2024 and hopefully a better year
My top characters of 2023
This is my favorite time of year where I get to explore the characters I loved most throughout 2023. There’s been quite a few stories I’ve gotten to read or watch and some of those characters really left a strong impression on me. Something I always try to do whenever I read or watch anything … Continue reading My top characters of 2023
Book Review: Yumi and the Nightmare Painter – A Cosmere Novel by Brandon Sanderson
Another of Brandon Sanderson’s Secret Project books, I was curious to see how this one would turn out. While I didn’t much care for The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook, I absolutely loved Tress of the Emerald Sea so I had mixed expectations going into this. The premise was interesting and considering the creativity in the first … Continue reading Book Review: Yumi and the Nightmare Painter – A Cosmere Novel by Brandon Sanderson
Blog Update: Schedule for the remainder of the year
Hello Everyone!Something that’s been bothering me is how inconsistent I’ve been with my blog posting schedule. Reflecting on the past year, I realize I’ve often missed my upload dates and I’ve had to either post late or not post at all. It’s obviously not a good thing to be as inconsistent as I’ve been and … Continue reading Blog Update: Schedule for the remainder of the year
Author Update: Draft #2 done, Updated Editions Incoming
Hello everyone!It’s been quite some time since I’ve last given an update, almost half a year now actually. It’s safe to say a lot has happened since then, especially with regards to editing the second draft and why it took so long. There’s the obvious answer that there was a lack of focus and direction … Continue reading Author Update: Draft #2 done, Updated Editions Incoming
Novella Review: Defending Elysium: A Cytoverse Novella (The Skyward Series) by Brandon Sanderson
Getting back into the rhythm of book reviews again, I thought I would finish the other novella in the Cytonic series. Writing compelling stories in so few pages is a fascinating and seems like such a difficult task. The Skyward Flight novella series were a surprisingly strong and compelling set of novellas that helped to … Continue reading Novella Review: Defending Elysium: A Cytoverse Novella (The Skyward Series) by Brandon Sanderson
Novella Review: ReDawn: Skyward Flight: Novella #2 by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson
First, before the review, I do have to make an apology. Somehow, I glossed over the fact that these novellas were written by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson. This would include the previous novella I reviewed. I am sorry but to make it clear, it would be both Sanderson and Patterson who’ve worked on these, … Continue reading Novella Review: ReDawn: Skyward Flight: Novella #2 by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson
Novella Review: Sunreach: Skyward Flight: Novella #1 by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson
In my curiosity to understand novellas, the most important thing I wanted to know about them was if it was still possible to tell a compelling story with far less words. But not just a compelling story, but one that was just as enjoyable as a book that might be between 300 and 400 pages … Continue reading Novella Review: Sunreach: Skyward Flight: Novella #1 by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson
