I finished reading Skylights by Luther M. Siler a week or two ago. Siler was the first indie author I followed when I joined WordPress three years ago. I’ve been intending to read this book for forever, and boy am I glad I got around to it. Continue reading “SKYLIGHTS: A Fun and Exciting Sci-Fi Romp”

Haiku Sunday – First
“First”
First meal delivered
To the porch while sanding dust
Coats the living room.

We Bought a F*ckin’ House
And aside from writing, that is what has taken up my week… and the last several weeks. Continue reading “We Bought a F*ckin’ House”
Upcoming Albums to Look Out For
You should all know by now that I love music. 2017 has been pretty quiet for me on that front. Aside from discovering a couple more bands, I’ve only been to a few concerts this year, with one more definitely on the way and two more I’d like to make.
Luckily, some of my favorites are due to release albums in the near future. Here’s what my upcoming music listening slate will look like. Continue reading “Upcoming Albums to Look Out For”
Haiku Sunday – Bat

Darting and zipping

Chester Bennington and a Cheap-Feeling Writing Update
I was 12 when Hybrid Theory came out, and I remember listening to it on my walkman in my room until I knew all of the words to every song. I fondly remember it as the soundtrack to my life ages 12-13.
I’m not going to write a post about Chester Bennington. Jessie pretty well covered my own feelings on this news yesterday.
RIP Chester Bennington Continue reading “Chester Bennington and a Cheap-Feeling Writing Update”
And My New Favorite German Word is… Fledermaus!
I miss studying language. I took French in middle/high school, German in college, and Arabic in college/grad school. The roots and origins of words has always fascinated me, and I will still look up words that catch my fancy. Continue reading “And My New Favorite German Word is… Fledermaus!”
Haiku Sunday – Noon
“Noon”
Can it still be called
midday when I’ve just risen?
That seems dishonest.

Exploring Úr’Dan: The Southern Half
In my first three posts in this series, I discussed the general aspects of my world-building, such as the language and the mythology. Then, I delved a little bit deeper into the geography and peoples of the northern half of Úr’Dan, providing some insight into the the people and landscapes seen in The Warden of Everfeld: Memento.
Now, I think it’s time we visit the southern half of Úr’Dan. Continue reading “Exploring Úr’Dan: The Southern Half”
A Philosophy of Ice and Fire
Season 7 of Game of Thrones premiers in five days (!), and I for one am stoked. A lot has been made of the philosophies one can glean from these stories, so I wanted to give my own thoughts.
The ongoing argument is that George R.R. Martin is a nihilist and created these stories to beat his readers over the head with tragedy and suffering.
I disagree, and I will use this post to explain why.
Spoilers ahoy! I will be freely discussing spoilerish information from both the books and the show, so if you’ve somehow managed to avoid them to this point, this post is probably not for you. Continue reading “A Philosophy of Ice and Fire”
