If I have a to-do list, there is no way in hell I am sitting still. Even if I am sitting down, either my mouth or my mind are running. It drives my poor girlfriend crazy, especially when she wants “quiet time.” It is physically impossible for me when I am in that mode. You’d…

Much like anyone else, I like to be in control. Peering into the unknown drives my anxiety meter off the cliff and into the dark abyss of ruminating. My entire week consisted of such situations. Ones where I had no control. On at least four occasions I found myself saying, “There is nothing I can…

A year full of trials and tribulations. I am so damn happy that this year is over. 2026 couldn’t come fast enough. In what has become an annual tradition, it is time for my annual reflection. Let’s look back at what I set out to do this year, see how I did, and outline my…

I’m going to do something on here that I haven’t in a long time. I am just going to free write. If you aren’t familiar with the idea of free writing, it is literally just to put down what comes to your mind. I have been slacking a bit on my blog posts (I’m one…

Yeah, I know. It’s been a while. Or sporadic at best. And to think, at one time, I disdained writing. I abhorred the thought of putting my fingers to a keyboard. That was way back when teachers and professors dictated the topic. Since its inception in 2017, this blog turned into a pillar of my…

For those of you who don’t know, it is national novel writing month a.k.a. NaNoWriMo. Now, I do not plan on writing a novel per se, but I have always wanted to try writing every day during the month of NaNoWriMo as an exercise. I honestly didn’t even realize that it started yesterday until after…
