  • Creativity – Orrr Lack Thereof?

    It really never ceases to amaze me how strong my creativity is connected to my physical (or emotional) well-being. It’s way easier to create when I’m feeling well (or on the days when I gather the gumption to exercise). But throw in an emotional slump, or a gray and cloudy day, or a cold (like…

  • April Poll Results In! – Excerpt from Raenden the Blessed

    Thanks to everyone who voted in April’s poll!

  • Cut Scene – TVB: “In the Rain”

    Update : Added link in footnotes. Updated formatting to current blog standards. Since I’m now working on writing TVB instead of just planning it out, I’ll probably be posting a lot more excerpts over the months to come. As I post this, I’m in the process of reviewing chapters 1 and 2, which I wrote…
