As 2022 comes to a close, I’m taking the opportunity to reflect. I’m on three different book-tracking sites, each with its own charts and graphs to offer insight, and I like to look at these from time to time to see where I’ve been on my reading journey and consider where I’m going next.

So… How’s that Novel Coming?
The question in the title is one I have been asked countless times as an aspiring writer. It started out in junior high, when I was turning a former short story into my first ever novel.

My sense of direction is so bad I often say I could get lost inside a paper bag,… Continue reading Visiting My Local Bookstore

One of the things I like to do when taking a break is play video games. I tend to pick one I like and get really invested in it, playing for hours and hours and exploring all it has to offer. It can be really relaxing, a great way to recharge after a stressful day… Continue reading One of My Hobbies
