How I Edit Videos
Video editing is such a particular kind of work. There's no hiding from it, and I kind of like that. When I say there's no hiding from it, what I mean is that it takes all of your attention. You can't be listening to music while you edit, you can't have a tv show on … Continue reading How I Edit Videos
Staying Motivated in a Pandemic
Like many others, I've struggled to find the motivation to do any work deemed unnecessary while in quarantine. In the beginning, I sort of depended on the work left over from Super Roommates to get myself out of bed and feel productive. When that ran out, I started working on my novel, although that was … Continue reading Staying Motivated in a Pandemic
Writing Fiction in a Pandemic
Writing about characters who aren't social distancing is actually a bit difficult. This is a side effect of the COVID-19 pandemic that I must admit I did not expect. I just wrote about a boy who comes up to stand next to a girl and I hesitated because alarms went off in my brain. It's … Continue reading Writing Fiction in a Pandemic
Production Day 1: Friday the 13th
Super Roommates began filming on Friday the 13th of March. It was amidst a snowstorm, and there was an accident on Deerfoot, so I arrived on set after pretty much all my cast & crew, but our location still wasn't available to us until fifteen minutes after our call time so it wasn't bad.

On Thursday November 28th, Storyhive announced which 40 web series pilots they've decided to fund. Mine was one of them. If you need to catch up, I recommend reading my post, Pitching a Web Series. I'll be honest, I actually found out my pitch had been successful the day before it was announced. I got … Continue reading Producing a Web Series
The Decadal Book
This blog started off has a way to document my daily adventures abroad in university, but it was also very much a place where I wrote about writing. It was such a part of this blog in fact that I didn't even have a category for all the posts about my book and instead I … Continue reading The Decadal Book
Workouts That Work
I've been trying out different ways of working out recently. The gym doesn't work for me. I go there, I watch Netflix on the elliptical for an hour, do a few floor exercises that I do at home anyway, and I leave. It's not fun for me, I don't see any progress, and I'm probably … Continue reading Workouts That Work
Pitching a Web Series
I haven't been posting as much lately as I should have, but that is because for the last month or so, I've been working on a web series. If you follow my reading/writing blog Precarious Reader, you may have read my post Derailed in which I mentioned that I had put aside the novel on … Continue reading Pitching a Web Series
