Ah, the film photography era. I am a proud millennial, and as such, my childhood was documented on film cameras. There was a special thrill that arose from filling up a roll, dropping it off at a drug store or big box retailer, and waiting eagerly for days to get your pictures back. You couldContinue reading “Let’s travel back in time”

What now?
This week, I watched a violent coup against the government of my homeland take place live on TV. This falls into the category of things I did in quarantine that I’ve never done before. It is a wild experience that I don’t recommend. I know some of you spent the day avoiding the media becauseContinue reading “What now?”
Happy New Year!
Hello, friends! Happy 2021! Good news: since quarantine appears to be continuing indefinitely this year, I’ll be updating the blog weekly. I have to admit that I stole some time away for myself the last week, and as a result, there isn’t a true post here. But hey, we’ll be back on Sunday with newContinue reading “Happy New Year!”
Space Case: Trying to Solve a Murder in the Cosmos
So, unless you have been living under a rock, you have likely heard of this little game called Among Us. And hey, maybe you haven’t been under a rock, but you aren’t necessarily into games.

I’m stalling
If you didn’t know, I have the inattentive presentation of ADHD. It’s fair if you were unaware; I personally went most of my life not knowing and only got a diagnosis two years ago. What does this mean for you, dear reader? It means that I’m struggling REALLY hard to stick to my blog schedule,Continue reading “I’m stalling”
It’s still Sunday till I clock in for work on Monday, right?
Oops, forgot to stick to my self-imposed weekly schedule of updates. My bad. However, I have BIG AWESOME NEWS: I know I only have one excerpt up, and more will follow. I received feedback that the formatting on the excerpt I posted made it difficult to read, so I need to do some magic andContinue reading “It’s still Sunday till I clock in for work on Monday, right?”
I have fallen off the map
So. Funny thing about November: I disappear from everywhere while I am in NaNoWriMo mode, and I’m starting to hit that slump. Good news, though: I’m at 37k and chugging along!
