Book Review: Percy Jackson and the Olympians – The Titan’s Curse
Continuing my journey through the Percy Jackson series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians – The Titan’s Curse proves to be an exciting and fun story. I didn’t expect to have my own perception of Greek heroes scrutinized to the degree we see here. I wasn’t expecting The Titan’s Curse to be as dark and complex … Continue reading Book Review: Percy Jackson and the Olympians – The Titan’s Curse
Resolutions and Goals
I was planning to post this earlier, but I decided to wait. With New Years behind us, the surge of what I call “New Year's Hype” has quieted down. I refer to it as hype as there’s this undeniable energy we all get at the prospect of starting a new year and working towards a … Continue reading Resolutions and Goals
Book Review Delay by a Day
Hi Everyone! Sorry to do this, but this week got away from me a bit. Rather than rush the book I'm reading which is a disservice to the author, I decided to take a day to finish reading it. It'll give me time to write a more insightful review that is worth reading. I'll have … Continue reading Book Review Delay by a Day
New Year, New Decade
Happy New Year everyone! Hope everyone had a wonderful New Year celebration. One of the most talked about subjects regarding the end of this particular year is that it is the end of a decade. Now normally I don’t make too much of a big deal regarding New Years but the decade ending was something … Continue reading New Year, New Decade
Reflection and Break for the Holidays

There was a lot I had hoped to achieve this year but I got side tracked repeatedly and … Continue reading Reflection and Break for the Holidays
Book Review: Loki, Where Mischief Lies by Mackenzi Lee
Loki was always one of the more interesting villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Where other various generic villains in the Marvel movies like Malekith (would not be surprised if you had to look that up, I did just to be sure) are rather forgettable, Loki was always a fan favorite. His story is much … Continue reading Book Review: Loki, Where Mischief Lies by Mackenzi Lee
Focus in a World Full of Noise
A great example of how difficult focus can be is how I spent 40 min on YouTube before I actually started writing this article. It can be so hard to concentrate when there are fun and easier alternatives surrounding us. Video games, movies, YouTube, anything can be more enticing as it doesn’t require as much … Continue reading Focus in a World Full of Noise
Book Review: Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff has been a book on my to-read list for a while now. Reading the book blurb, it was hard not to not to be excited for it. The concept reminded me a lot of a Firefly or Voltron esque story. A crew of misfit characters banding together … Continue reading Book Review: Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
Being OK with Imperfection
First off I wanted to apologize for how late this post is. Last week I was working on finishing the 3rd, and hopefully final edition, of my first book. I focused a lot on the artwork and formatting to print correctly on Amazon’s publishing service. Getting the cover art to fit correctly can be very … Continue reading Being OK with Imperfection
