  • Quick Gratitude

    Quick Gratitude

    Man, have I had quite the good last couple of years, and that’s maybe something I have a lot of privilege to say. Considering the last couple of years, anyways. I don’t have a lot to write about today, and I’m pretty spent. But hey, you know what? I made it here, and for that…

    Saturday Book Club BB

    This is my first time blogging on a Saturday. Go me. This day has consistently been my streak breaker, so baby steps all the way through the front door. Welcome to the Battle Blog Book Brigade BB. Just kidding, but on Saturdays, I’ll talk about what I’ve been reading, or books I just really want…

  • A Magic System?

    Keeping it short tonight, but I’m dipping back into writing fantasy, and oh man do I love it. I suppose the problem is that I get lost in the potential of things, what different pathways and choices could possibly lead to. I was thinking of things to write about for this, and I just want…

  • My Window and the Willow

    I have one month left at the window, where I have procrastinated away the last three years of my life. From my vantage, there is a hill overlooking a parking lot and a fenced in space for dumpsters. Beyond that, there is a marshy field, the chaotic willow, and a prison for children. Despite the…

  • Maintaining Habits

    I’m a person who lives a pretty irregular lifestyle, switching jobs and moving often, teaching or bartending or doing whatever else to support my family and creative endeavors. My days are inconsistent in their orientation, which is something I’ve actively sought in my adulthood, but that can make routines hard to solidify. Luckily, I practice…

  • Beginner’s D&D

    This is going to be a quick one today because it is late and I’m really missing my tabletop games right now. With a lot of big things shaking up in my life, I’ve put my own games on hold, but playing D20 based tabletop RPGs is something that has drastically improved my life. Not…

  • Trying Contentment

    Whew. This is a late one, but I wanted to get a couple thoughts down. I’ve been trying to foster contentment in my life lately as a form of mindfulness. I think a lot of people mistake fostering contentment with giving up and a general disassociation with achievement, an outlook fraught with fallacies about the…

  • Friday Fiction

    I missed yesterday, but that’s okay. I’ve been on a pretty good streak otherwise, though I’m bummed the streak is broken. I’m trying to live a whole and happy life while not strictly adhering to schedules, which is difficult and seemingly antithetical. I like schedules enough, but I have a strange anxiety that my world…

  • Wordy Wednesday

    This has nothing to do with the smash-hit phone game known as Wordle. For my Wednesday posts, I’m going to write poems, or talk about poetry and/or the power of language. It’s something that gets written off by the laymen, but how we communicate gives insight into how we think. When we write poetry, we…

  • Table-talk Tuesday

    So, it’s Tuesday, the day I’ve designated to talk about TTRPGs. But that name is tough and has a lot of connotations. I’ll use lots of different names, but I will often refer to tabletop gaming using Dungeons and Dragons. I’m sorry, but it is sort of the google or Kleenex of the tabletop world,…
