October Viewing: A Revisit
Autumn’s officially here. It’s time for well-worn hoodies and knit sweaters. Comforting soups and warm beverages. It’s also time to break out the traditions well suited for longer nights tickled with cold. I have a tradition where I pick movies based on a particular theme to watch throughout the month…

An Uninspired Blog Post
Most of the time I’m writing, I don’t feel inspired. Sometimes I don’t feel like writing in the entire time I’m writing. That’s part of the reason I made this blog. Before, I’d start stories I’d never finish because I didn’t have the inspiration to. Now, knowing that I have…

Build a Vampire
It’s been a while since I have seen a vampire property, movie or book, that caused a visceral reaction to it. To be fair, I haven’t really looked since the early 2000’s was oversaturated with media trying to ride the Twilight wave. As I kid, vampires were one of my…

A college memory
Jumping back into the thick of it. I haven’t posted in a bit, so I figured I’d come back with a personal story. Looking back on my time at college, I sometimes gain a new perspective on certain experiences such as being black at a predominantly white university. Looking…

A Story of Sleep Paralysis
Pretty uneventful week, so here’s a dream story for you all. This a story about one of the most vivid instance of sleep paralysis I have ever experienced and the last. My room is pitch black, yet I see the outline of everything in my room. The funny part is…

I think I found my Genre
A quickie blog post for you all today. I have been working on an outline for my first book, and I realized early on that I didn’t know what particular genre it was. Since I started writing on this blog, I haven’t stuck to any genre with my short stories.…
