Over the past month or so, I’ve been making a lot of progress on my next project, Stargazer, and I’m being a lot more cautious. This time, I’m trying to outline the entire thing before I even get started writing it. Which probably sounds like a no-brainer but I had a much different approach with […]

Where I’ve Been
I disappeared for a while. Here’s why. [TL;DR I found genuine happiness and suddenly nothing else mattered. Then I finally discovered that that wasn’t enough so here I am again. I’ll be posting here regularly again but not as frequently as I have up until now.] So I realized something the other day. This is […]
It Lies Up Above
“Belief is a telescope that nobody taught you how to hold.” This is a line from a song I found pretty recently. Music has just always been a very important and predominant part of my life so I’m happy to continually be influenced by it. When I heard this line, it hit pretty hard for […]
Bouncing Back
I’m back in my writing groove! We did it! Yeah! Honestly, the whole experience feels much better. I’ve started off rereading from chapter one. Unsurprisingly, I found a lot of things that could’ve been written a little better, so I wrote them a little better. This is something that happens virtually every single time I […]
Lightbulb
I think I’m going to refrain from progress updates until I get closer to the end. There’s just something about setting unrealistic goals publicly on a frequent basis that just bums me out. It bums me out when I don’t meet them. It gives me this intense feeling of apprehension. On one hand, I think […]
Sensation
I’m struggling to find something that hasn’t been said already. I know there’s some string of words that wants to be said but it’s all so familiar now. Honestly, I’m having trouble pinpointing my ideas for this post after watching the Sense8 finale this morning, and, just by the way, its brilliance and complexity cannot […]
Dearly Beloved
“Thinking of you, wherever you are. We pray for our sorrows to end, and hope that our hearts will blend. Now I will step forward to realize this wish. And who knows: starting a new journey may not be so hard, or maybe it has already begun. There are many worlds, but they share the […]
Strength to Protect What Matters
So, quick progress update: I haven’t felt this motivated in a very long time. Finally, I’m back in the headspace of almost exclusively thinking about writing and it’s fantastic. But I’d be lying if I said I got to this point alone. If it weren’t for my friend being genuinely interested in the story and […]
Not too much longer
I procrastinate a lot. I mean a lot. Of course, I’m referring to writing this novel. Admittedly, I can say I’m procrastinating a lot less than I have been lately but it’s still like pulling teeth to an extent. It’s like I always just say to myself “I’ll do it tomorrow” but tomorrow never comes, […]
In the Most Unlikely of Places
I think I find it a little odd that some of my posts are well received, by my standards anyway, I know this isn’t a wildly popular blog. When I wake up on a day like today and have absolutely no idea what I’m going to write about, I just briefly think of something that’s […]
