Hoje, 25 de julho, é o Dia Nacional do Escritor. O meu primeiro com o famigerado título de AUTOR PUBLICADO™ e, por conta disso, decidi contar um pouco sobre a minha história com a escrita. Compartilhar com vocês a minha jornada até aqui, e tudo que deu errado até as coisas começarem a dar certo....

Paper Banderbear.

You’ve all heard me rave about Unblemished on more than one occasion, as well as squeal about the coming of this epic beauty. And now it’s here!!!! This is the FIRST book I’ve ever pre-ordered, and I’m SOOOOO glad!!!!

To be honest, I enjoyed Unraveling a lot more than Unblemished. I was a lot...

i failed a student for their midterm grade, and they just sent me an email that just says “bruh.”

can we appreciate the respectfully tho?

This essay was recently recorded for a podcast that I host at Crumble Cult. If you want to hear the audio, you can access it here, here or here. You can even have a listen while reading the comic strip I initially based it on. Whatever you decide, I hope you enjoy reading the original text. Word...

A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.

Oh, I have SO been looking forward to doing this one! I think everyone knows I’m a huge heavy metal fan and I used to write my reviews about metal back in the day so to do a tag on the subject of music is kind of a bit exciting!

A huge thanks to Liz @ Cover to Cover for the tag, sorry for the del...

Tocmai a apărut noul meu articol pe site-ul săptămânalului Bihoreanul: ”De ce se tem cel mai mult tinerii din România?”. Zilele trecute am publicat un text nou și pe Psihoradea: ”Jamovi: O nouă alternativă SPSS”. 

I have the privilege of contributing to He Reads Truth, a website of whose purpose is “To help men become who we were made to be, by doing what we were made to do, by the power and provision that God has given us to do it, for the glory of Jesus Christ.” They do this by providing scripture readin...

Hay monstruos ahí fuera. Y aquí dentro.

A veces lees libros que te llegan en el momento correcto, o que tocan una parte de ti que habías escondido hace tiempo, y cuando los terminas sabes que no eres la misma persona que lo empezó. No del todo. 

Si hay algo que siempre sale a flote en mis momentos...

Days like these are why they invented chocolate.

It’s release day for His Command – and while I’m thrilled for everyone to catch up with Genies and the world of WFY, I’m also quietly terrified.

I wrote Her Wish in three weeks. Yep, three weeks. It flew out of my fingers like *ha* magi...

I‘m going to start doing these blog post series as a way to record my memories somewhere. I always live a little in fear that time will erase my first 13 years; I rely a lot on what’s inside my head and the thought of someday losing it all is a little distressing.

I think I got my first computer w...

My dad is a good man, and one I am immensely grateful to have as a father. He recently hit his sixth decade of life, is going strong, and should have many more ahead of him (if my 98-year-old grandmother on his side is any indication). I’m lucky enough to…

When you get asked to stay late in the office to complete another overdue project or your annual leave request is declined because somebody else has already booked time off, you begin to ask yourself, what is the point? You are busy working towards somebody else’s deadline and lining somebody els...

Do you remember DRILLED?

Okay, the title of this blog post is a lie–there’s no such thing as too much tea. (#amiright)

But what, in the end, do we get from poems and songs? “Aesthetic life is a sphere of self-directed activity whose external ramifications, despite periodic utopian exuberances, are minimal at best,” Robbins concludes (somewhat contradicting his “community” theory). I...

People who want to improve a relationship often talk about talking. That is, they bring up what happened, what went wrong in their experience, and come up with solutions. Here are some examples:

Despite some opinions of those I live with, talking really isn’t my thing. When I do talk I want to talk about the meaning of life and happiness, what makes someone’s heart beat a bit faster and the like – big talk, as mentioned in a previous post. Otherwise, I want to write.

Writing is just somet...

I’m not exactly sure when it started.

But it seemed to come out of a long conversation that my husband and I had along with another couple who are close friends of ours.

They’d long felt an underlying tension in their marriage and asked us if we could possibly help.

We said we’d be glad to try.

Afte...

Flying Monkeys is an expression that most people in narcissistic abuse communities know about.

It’s used to describe the people who the narcissist convinces to do their bidding.

Abuse by proxy (using other people to abuse us) is a such a common occurrence with narcissistic abuse, and in this episo...

It’s been a little over two months since I took ownership of Waldgang. I’d like to thank the guys who keep buying books and merchandise from Brutal Company, because I sure haven’t done much in the way of writing or promotion since May 12. If you follow my Instagram, you’ve seen what we’ve been up...

Teasers! Is it that time already…? Oh. Then I guess I’d better share a snippet of what I’ve been working on this week – The Velvet Caress. I’ve finally reached the 10,000 mark, so things are up and running – hoorah!!

The Velvet Caress

Taking a deep breath I picked up Jennifer’s lifeless h...

Okay, so, remember in the last post how I said, “if everything goes as planned”?

Yeah. Not so much. Day-job has some issues with personal space.

I was going to hurry and try to upload tonight, but this episode just isn’t ready yet. I’m shooting for very, very late Thursday night or Friday afternoon...

It suddenly occurs to me that I haven’t said anything about, well, writing for a while. Not that I talk about it much anyway but I understand people like to be told about shit. The thing about writing and publishing is that everything happens on quite a long timescale so what how it normally goes...

Before we begin, here is a link to subscribe to my journalism and here is a link to find out ways to support my writing.

Generally, I am happy with my copy of Thunderbird portable that’s backed up in the cloud but I do understand the need to bring back things like Outlook Express and Windows Mail...
