I am a history enthusiast. I think that’s what drew me to the Assassin’s Creed franchise in the beginning. Of their many talents, Ubisoft ( the creators) are brilliant at depicting historical locations and periods with next-level authenticity. I have played nearly every Assassin’s Creed game in the franchise, so when I discovered that thereContinue reading “Book Review: Assassin’s Creed Renaissance by Oliver Bowden”

Autumn is just around the corner, and I couldn’t be happier. Summer was hectic, and I didn’t get as much writing done as I had hoped.

Oh Hey! It’s been a minute…
April was a heavy month for me. Why? I wish I knew. In the past month and a half, I have only managed to write one chapter, with exceptional difficulty.

Book Review: Equanimity by John Elliott-White
I was recently sent a copy of this book by the author and asked to give a review. I have read multiple books in the self-help/self-improvement genre and the premise of this book, to combine what we know of neuropsychology and the wisdom of the Ancients was very intriguing to me. I love philosophy. IContinue reading “Book Review: Equanimity by John Elliott-White”

Who is right, who is wrong, does it matter?If the vulnerable still suffer the same,Who will say,Continue reading “New Poem”
Writer’s Block: When Your Imaginary Friends Refuse to Talk to You (Author Unknown)
The quote I’ve used in the title always makes me laugh, but lately, it has been painfully true. I don’t know why but I can’t seem to find my creative spark for the last couple weeks. I am almost finished the first draft of Chapter 6 in my untitled Fantasy/Sci-Fi novel, but I can’t seemContinue reading “Writer’s Block: When Your Imaginary Friends Refuse to Talk to You (Author Unknown)”
