  • Seattle: Downtown

    Aside from the constant cloud cover, Seattle holds an atmosphere of constant movement; the rumble of cars in the distance and pedestrians walking, each eager to reach their destinations, perpetuates in all directions.  Buses are a constant and often necessary form of travel in the city, with many a biker taking advantage of the bike…

  • Travel and Thoughts about Computers

    Writing while traveling is a challenge; writing by hand requires bringing notebooks and other materials.  Typing instead requires me to bring a computer of sorts, which of course means my laptop. However, this has lead me on a random side tangent.  What are the main differences between the two computers?  Here they are:

  • Snow White and Cinderella

    One of the reasons I found myself diving into the reinvention of fairy tales is simply because the modern takes on them are too stale. They don’t dig into a lot of the more disturbing thematic elements of the original fairy tales. Now, my purpose isn’t to dig into the more violent aspects that riddle…

  • Our Stories Matter

    I wrote this poem a few weeks back and put it up in the poetry forum of Legendfire for some critiques. It helped me polish it up a bit and trim some unneeded lines and stanzas. I wrote it because of a day, where a former friend left me feeling like I didn’t matter. That…

  • Before I die, I want to…..

    In June, my town held an Art Festival, where artists from all over the Midwest came to show their wares.  A friend of mine convinced me to join her and a mutual friend for a walk around the festival to see all the various mediums of art.  Over by the food vendors, and slightly offset…

  • National Novel Writing Month: Begins Tomorrow at Midnight

    Pens ready to go fellow writers? One would hope for tomorrow at midnight, NaNoWriMo begins.  I’ll be attending the regional kick-off to see if that helps inspire me to tackle as many words as possible for the first few hours of November.  I tend to write in sprints rather than daily word counts, but to…

  • NaNoWriMo Notes: Characters

    Characters are the core of the story. Without them, you really don’t have much of a story or really anything to write. It’s why I take a lot of care in my character building. I want to understand the character the best I can before I start the story itself. Once I know my characters,…

  • A Quest

    Planning a quest for me. It starts here, at this desk, where my fingers tap keys. A quest unlike most games, where you seek a person, an item, a theme. No, my quest is myself. First, I’ll dismantle me. Rearrange and step back, to see it all — good or bad, murky or clear. Those…

  • Paper Mache Project Completed

    Here is the final pictures of the paper mache project: I apologize for the fuzzy aspect to the pictures. They were taken with my phone camera. Also, I tilted the globe so you can see the north and south poles more clearly:   I am looking down at the globe toward the northern hemisphere and…

  • “Weep not for Roads Untraveled”

    I haven’t posted here recently due to some heavy and painful moments that happened in the past month. One thing I’ve noticed in regards to myself is that writing and music helps me pass through the pain and emerge stronger on the other side. It’s a bit like being reforged into someone new, but first…
