I said I would do it for Chinese New Year, so I have. What I've published was actually written about 5 years ago, with a little bit of addition and editing from this week. As such, it comes off very different from my modern writing, which is more technically proficient. But I wanted to get something done, so I decided I would just gussy up what I already had and call it a day. I'll update the story throughout the year until it is done (no later than Dec. 31).

Hey everyone! The end of the year was pretty hectic on my end (check this blog for the reasons why), but I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things. Despite the hectic schedule, I was able to write two stories in October and one in December, so there's at least some productivity on my end. There's actually quite a few things I want to get done this January, so I'm going to list them out now:

Hey, all. Sorry for the silence through December, but unfortunately, right after Thanksgiving, my father started suffering from cardiac issues. He tried to hold out for a few days, but eventually my uncle and I convinced him to go to the hospital. Our instincts were right: he had intense tachycardia due to atrial fibrillation (when the atrium of the heart is not beating in rhythm with the rest of the heart). Dad had to spend ten days in the hospital until they gave him a cardiac conversion that

Hey folks! Sorry there was nothing from me most of this month. My father got pneumonia earlier this month and had a lot of difficulty fighting the disease off, so most of my attention was toward that rather than anything on this site. I'll probably be more active in December, particularly in discussing my plans for 2025.

Hey there! I just wanted to let you guys know two things. First, I released a new story, called Mitigating Circumstances for the Cozy Glow Contest that closed today. It focuses on a hearing Luna gave Cozy before banishing her to Tartarus, and it was me playing with Cozy as a character. I'd already

Earlier this week, I posted about the Cozy Glow Contest being hosted by the Cozy Glow Group. I'm trying to get a story in for it, but I've learned that apparently this will be the last year of the contest if ten or less stories have been submitted by Oct. 7. Right now, only three have been submitted to the contest, so

Hey, everyone. It’s been a long time since you’ve seen “Updates and Goals” in the title of this blog, huh? Two and a half years ago, this was a common kind of post, talking about all the things I was aiming to do within the month and beyond (regardless if they ever got done or not). But as anybody who’s followed me since March 2022 knows, my mother passed away from cancer at a (relatively) young age, and it threw both my family and myself into turmoil. Aside from a single contest and that

As folks who saw my post a few weeks ago know, I sold a few copies of my book Winter Dreams, Summer Reminisces, at Everfree Northwest this year. One of the main conceits of the book was to raise money for the Foundation for Women's Cancer, a charity focused on ending cancers in female reproductive organs. My mother died from uterine cancer two years ago, so I wanted to find a way to use my writing

I have just been notified by RBDash47 that the book I sent to Everfree Northwest, Winter Dreams, Summer Reminisces, sold out yesterday! To be fair, I only sent 5 books, as only one of the books sold at Everfree last year and I'd sent 10 to be displayed. But either I've gotten more popular or there were just more curious

Forgot to post this, but my last short story collection, Winter Dreams, Summer Reminisces, will be on sale at Twilight's Book Nook at Everfree Northwest this weekend. The Book Nook will be in the vendor's hall, so head there if you'd like to check out a bunch of fantastic books!
