‘Aristotle and Dante Dive Into the Waters of the World’ is pure catharsis
The sequel to one of the most beautiful coming-of-age stories of all time, yay or nay? (Hint: the title may or may not represent my feelings towards this book.) Come and see the book best paired with Friday nights, chocolate, some good music, and a steaming cup of tea.

One final hurdle
Am I a day late? Yes! Will I probably spend the rest of my weekend daydreaming? Probably! Have I been doing THINGS these past three weeks that you definitely want to read about?
I mean, I mention stringers, a nostalgic love of mine. So, yes. Yes, I have.

Finger guns, and archaic words Grammarly can pry from my cold, dead hands
Heyo! My new blog post is up, I’m still depressed and anxious, but Grammarly is incredible (mostly), and my life is elsewise filled will all kinds of ups and downs. Cue the finger guns.

Superstition
I’m back! Just in time for the ultimate writing guide, a glimpse into my writing journey (featuring some good ol’ fashioned King Arthur mythology), and that good ol' self-deprecating humour I know so well.

Myrddin’s Madness
Heyo, lovely people! I’m all but brained out, but I figured I best let you all in on what’s happening with me at present health-ways. As well, I divulge exciting news on what’s to come! Come and see!

Merry Charismas, 2020’s almost over (finally)
We’re back! Just in time for the year’s end after sixteen years, I revisit the good and the bad of my past five months. Also, I make bad jokes (and by bad, I mean hilarious), celebrate major achievements, and make more bad/hilarious jokes.

A work in progress
Heyo lovely people! I’m here with a slightly lighter variant on last week’s post. One that features the matter of equality, keeping on talking, some good ol’ fashioned self-deprecating and nihilistic humour that may or may not be my own, and a snippet on what I’m working on now! Come and see!

The Starry-Eyed Child
A short story born from a late-night drive home, reading Douglas Adams for the first time, and my broskis insisting that my placing milk in before the cereal is something only monsters could do. Come and see!

In place of a review this week, we’re looking at what may just be one of the most fantastically bizarre experiences of my entire life. For those intrigued at what I’m writing about, here’s your very first snippet! What are you waiting for?
