Author: precariouswriter

I live in Calgary, Canada where I was born and raised, but I lived in Winchester, England for three years while in university. When I was fourteen, I decided there weren’t enough books in the world and set out to make more. Since then, I’ve been writing non-stop and aim to work in the book industry. I have two blogs: PrecariousWriter.com is my personal blog where I'll write about anything. PrecariousReader.com is book and writing-related posts including reviews, poems, short stories and articles.

Marvin’s 2020 Birthday

This video gave me grief in editing, and as a result I was set back months for my vlogging schedule. Hopefully I figured it out and we won't have that problem anymore. https://youtu.be/QmWXoi53c_0

Airing Out my Grievances

My part-time job is a bit of a drive, but I've never minded because nothing beats coming off a long shift and breathing in the clean air on the way to my car. Each breath feels like I'm getting triple the oxygen that I get in the city, and it feels so good. After my … Continue reading Airing Out my Grievances

Recent Film Things

I wanted to call this "A Summary of Every Film-Related Thing Happening in My Life in the Last Six Months" because that's a more descriptive and enticing title, but it's a bit long. Similar to the quite-long title of a movie I'm in called "Events Transpiring Before, During, And After A High School Basketball Game" … Continue reading Recent Film Things

I Got My Hair Permed

Back at in September, I won a free "do-anything-you-want-with-your-hair" from a salon. Suggestions included a cut and dye, but I'm an actor and I prefer for my hair to remain its natural colour, so instead, in late October, I went and got a perm. I had never before dyed or permed my hair, and it … Continue reading I Got My Hair Permed
