Let’s stop writing half-hearted stories. I recently rewatched the Lord of the Rings trilogy and I’m currently rereading the books as well. It struck me towards the end of Return of the King: Why don’t people tell stories like this anymore? Obviously, Tolkien was a genius and poured his life and soul into Middle Earth. … Continue reading The Stories that Matter
The Drabbles of a Dreamer
Introducing my very first fiction book, coming June 30th! Well, it's kinda complicated. It's actually a collection of really short stories rather than a book, but...you get what I mean. Several months ago I realised that I had tons of short stories just sitting around in my Documents folder that I had written over the … Continue reading The Drabbles of a Dreamer
“That’s Life”
Hello again, everyone! I hope you're doing all right out there with all the craziness that's going on in the world today. Sending lots of love, hugs, and prayers to anyone who needs them!

Little Women (2019)
When I was in middle school and high school, I had a surge of interest in the classics of literature. I blazed through Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, the Brontës, and all those other lovely British authors like nobody's business. I never found too much interest in the American classics--until Little Women. To a girl who … Continue reading Little Women (2019)
Where Are the Eggs?
I take up my pen (or rather, keyboard) again to tell another brief tale of my time in the UK last summer. My best friend Hannah and I were staying in Buxton at probably the best Airbnb we had the entire trip. (I say that because it was an entire flat and, most importantly, the … Continue reading Where Are the Eggs?
The Weight of Dreams
Bear with me here. This post might start out sounding like a depressing sob story, but the fact that I've had a dream crushed today (THANKS COVID) has made me think about the burden of dreams. Today, the Broadway production of Frozen announced that they're not going to open back up once the pandemic is … Continue reading The Weight of Dreams
My Favourite Doctor Who Speech
Today there was a worldwide rewatch of one of my favourite Doctor Who stories, The Zygon Invasion/Inversion. Though I wasn't able to participate due to the workload I currently have, it made me think about the first time I watched these episodes when they aired. Up until that point I had really liked the Twelfth … Continue reading My Favourite Doctor Who Speech
Veritas
What is truth? This is the age of truth. Anything is true. Everything is true. If you believe something is true, then it is. All of this begs the question: what is the definition of "truth?" True is defined as "in accordance with fact or reality." Truth, then, is "the quality or state of being … Continue reading Veritas
Quote of the Day
“Pass on what you have learned. Strength, mastery, hmm… but weakness, folly, failure also. Yes: failure, most of all. The greatest teacher, failure is.” —Yoda in The Last Jedi
The Shining Aspects of the Star Wars Prequels
To kick off May the Fourth, I started a Star Wars marathon going in chronological order that will take place over three days! Today's mission? The prequels. Now, if you are here for hate on the prequels, this post is not for you. Yes, there are a lot of issues with the movies. My general … Continue reading The Shining Aspects of the Star Wars Prequels
