I wonder whether I should just make it official and rename these Bi-Weeklies? Nah. Stephen King said, "Reading takes time, and the glass teat takes too much of it." Sorry to disappoint, Mr. King. But although I watch way too much television and internet videos, I did manage to get work done today so yay … Continue reading (#23) Weeklies

Writing Influences
In class this week we were thinking about what makes us the kind of writers we are. This was good timing because I've been thinking a lot lately about the writer I am, the writer I want to be, and the writer I will most likely end up being.

Libraries have upped their game since the last time I borrowed books. You can borrow … Continue reading Libraries Rock!

He was my introduction to comic books and he's just awesome. His humour, creativity, mercenary skills, R-rating, general quirkiness, and deep seated self-hatred all come together to create the … Continue reading Deadpool
Writing for Fun
This morning I got an email saying my last two assignments from last semester were ready to be picked up. I got a little excited and went straight to collect them even though I was late for a meeting. It would have been embarrassing if my marks had been bad. Thankfully they were not.
