Review: A Primer for Philosophy & Education

Prompt Post #3
So, I haven’t posted a prompt post in a while, so I thought I’d at least post one that I did yesterday. Despite the prompt asking for a story, it’s more of an intro for a short story than a self contained story, but oh well. If you like what I wrote below comment and […]

The Formulaic Approach
Something that I’ve noticed of writers, specifically the ones that shovel out a few books every couple years and already have a dozen published; appear to have a formulaic approach to the novel form.

Personally my tastes run the spectrum, I’ll jam out to anything from Justin Beiber’s Baby to the hardcore screamo of Blessthefall to the soothing melodies of Sigur Ros. (You would even throw in some Macklemore for […]

A Supreme Juggling Act
There is this thing called time that I always feel like I’m losing a battle too. We consistently try and schedule and try and make time for things, yet there always comes the darkness of night and soon our body lets us know that it’s time to sleep and pass into the next day. It’s […]
