Spoiler-free. Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake came out three weeks ago, so if you've never heard of it, just give it time. I'd never heard of it before picking it up in the bookstore to study its cover. It's black matte, and the art is incredible, easy to study for a while without getting … Continue reading Three Dark Crowns
October Reads
I've got two beautiful books to live on for the month of October. I hadn't heard of either before spotting them in the bookstore, so I'm going in without any preconceived notions about them. A Fierce and Subtle Poison by Samantha Mabry: "How would you describe your condition?" I asked. Isabel didn't respond. Instead, her eyes … Continue reading October Reads
Sooner or Later
Every so often, I'll have an idea for a story. This has been happening since long before I wrote. The ideas usually come right before bed or as soon as I wake up. I think it's because that's when I'm not busy with everything that normally occupies my mind. Unfortunately, it's been a while since … Continue reading Sooner or Later

A Saturday
Yesterday morning I went to an orientation at the Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers and saw what they had to offer. I think I might join, but I'll have to wait until I have more money. I have other things higher on my list anyway, like SAIT classes, or some lessons or a gym membership … Continue reading A Saturday
S.I.V. 2.0
The first SIV story can be found here, if you’re curious. I wrote this sequel for my Science Fictions & Fantasies class in my last semester of third year. You can compare it to the origin… Source: S.I.V. 2.0
Now What?
Well, I don't have any school to go back to in September. I thought I might take some classes but that's not looking like it'll happen until May. I've got a part-time job, but as stated, it's only part-time. So what will I do the rest of the time? Before I started this blog, I … Continue reading Now What?
Starting Again
I hope you all had a good weekend! Without work or university and with all my friends already leaving for other cities and countries, I've had to find my own reasons for leaving my room. On Sunday there was the Craft Market, the last one I'll be in town for, so I went to look at … Continue reading Starting Again
April Fools
I had my last university class today. I'm really going to miss this. But I miss home, too, just a little. It's April Fools Day today so I can't help but think of my little brother who absolutely loves this holiday. He was nine years old when I first left, and he'll be twelve when … Continue reading April Fools
Oh, How I’ve Grown
It's awkward posting again after a post like that, but I'm glad you all liked it so much. It's now my most liked post of all time, so thank you. Why do I write? It's bizarre to think back to fourteen-year-old me sitting at my desk one November afternoon and picking up a pen with … Continue reading Oh, How I’ve Grown
