Trying out Substack
I decided to create an account on Substack and will focus my fictional writing there from now on. You can follow me here! There’s no specific reason for creating a Substack. After checking out a few people I know who have it, I stumbled around on the site and decided to join the fun. I Continue reading

Long Drives and Reflections
As I wait for my wife’s pancakes to flip, I thought it would be as good as any time to get my next post up here. I have a weekly routine of making her pancakes for the workweek so she’s not missing out on breakfast. While I’m on just a few hours of sleep, drinking Continue reading

I Want to Make 2025 A Big Year for Reading and Writing
Last year, I focused more on writing but not too much on the reading end. I was in a rut with reading. I completed my minimum goal of reading five books last year, but getting through them was hard. A few of them I enjoyed reading, but others were a struggle to finish, and when Continue reading

When Starting Off, Remember to Do It for Yourself or Others Involved
I was scrolling through my TikTok feed when I came across one where this guy sitting in his car tells us (the viewers) that our Dungeons & Dragons show will fail and no one will watch it. He then tells us to “just stop” making these shows; no matter how quippy the title can be, Continue reading

Back to Work After a Nice, Long Break
Well, it’s the day my two-week-long holiday break comes to an end, and I’m sitting at my home office, wishing I was back on break again. I’m counting down the days until the next time my scheduled days off would come, but it’s back to work for now. Even if I were working my dream Continue reading

It was a great way to get comfortable posting on your Continue reading

A Simple Layout
Today’s answer will be short and sweet for what I would like in a room for reading and writing. For writing specifically, I want to have a big, long-sized desk. Large enough to fit my laptop and monitor that I would dock my laptop to for a bigger screen. Suppose I pick a desk on Continue reading

And My Holiday Break…BEGINS!
4:00 PM strikes today, and I’m driving home from work in my car. Usually, my commute doesn’t bother me; it’s an hour one way since I only go to the office once a week. But even with traffic being rough and it raining the whole time, I wouldn’t have to make this commute for another Continue reading

Running
In January 2020, a friend of mine posted on Facebook that he signed up for a 5k run hosted around his area. I thought, why not join him, and we’ll do the run together. Well, after training for the race for a few months (I haven’t run this consistently in years at this point), the Continue reading

Stay Consistent
I envy others who stay consistent with their work. Whether training for a race, writing a book, or posting videos on YouTube, they stay with it. We all have dreams and goals we want to achieve, and seeing others do just that is what I admire. We all have felt some burnout and had to Continue reading
