Good afternoon, squiders! First things first, SkillShare finally got back to me about my class (a MONTH and two tickets after I emailed them that I had fixed it, so not wild about their support) and it is fixed and
Summer Media Thoughts
I’m starting to feel like a broken record (the revision is going well! I’m getting so much great feedback! Some natural disaster came along and tried to kill me!) so let’s talk about something else for a minute. Reading I’m
Passing on the Nerdy Torch
Squiders, if you’ve been with me at all, you know I am (unabashedly) a giant nerd. I went to my first Star Trek convention when I was 12. I cosplayed all through my 20s (and still sometimes). I occasionally hyperfixate
Back to My Roots
I think I’ve told you guys this before, but the very first adult high fantasy book I ever read was Wishsong of Shannara, by Terry Brooks. I was 12 at the time, and I got the book out of my

Let’s Talk About Star Trek Discovery
Okay, Squiders, fair warning: SPOILERS THROUGH EPISODE 3 (which, for those of you who might read this in the future, is all there is as of today.) Though I am going to complain about CBS for a minute, so you
Fun Scifi Tropes: Alternate Universes
Alas, Squiders, today we come to the end of our scifi trope series, and we end with alternate universes, which are a personal favorite of mine (which seems to be a trend). WordPress handily keeps track of blog posts I’ve
Fun Scifi Tropes: Robots
Hey, guys! We’re doing this today rather than Thursday because we’ve got our Winterking discussion then. (Are you guys reading that with me? At first I thought it was better but we seem to be delving back into familiar confusion as we
