I sit on the couch, attempting to meet my quota for my daily writing. I open the document for my current project, but the thoughts refuse to flow freely. I’m at a tense and pivotal part of the chapter, and it must be handled adeptly. But today, I don’t have the mental capacity to make […]

Dragon Quest III HD-2D First Impressions – Proquest #015
Dragon Quest III was never my favorite entry in the franchise (that honor goes to DQ V), but it’s a game that’s grown on me over the years since I first played the mobile port. In fact, when the HD-2D remake was announced, I found myself unexpectedly hyped. Now that I’ve finally got my hands […]
Fatebound Journey Part 3 – Clash on the Crags
Authors Note: This will be the last chapter of Act I. Act II will mostly be an episodic, town-of-the-week format, introducing new companions to fill out the party. Intro: This is part of a serialized fantasy story I’m writing. It’s shamelessly inspired by Dragon Quest. Let me know know your thoughts, positive or negative. Please […]
Personal Narrative Assignment #1 – Embracing My Roots
I recently took a writing class—one with a focus on personal narrative for the purpose of writing a memoir. Since I put a lot of work into the assignments, I’ve decided to post (most of) them here. This is the first such essay. Our prompt was to tell the story of our name. This is […]

Distracted From Writing – Proquest #014
I don’t know when it started, but my earliest memory of wanting to be a writer was in third grade. My teacher gave us a project where we had to write a story to match some printed out drawings and form our own book from it. She knew it would be something I was interested […]
Experiencing Everything – Proquest #013
When I was a kid, around thirteen or fourteen, I liked to pretend I was immortal. I was going through that phase where children begin turning their imaginations toward things other than make-believe play and I was starting to mourn the loss of schoolyard fantasies. Pretending to be Dragonball Z characters at recess was no […]
Thoughts on The Book of The New Sun – Proquest #012
It feels like every half-decade or so a new book rises up and takes the number one spot in my list of favorite works. In high school if you’d asked me, I would say it was Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe. Twelve years ago it was Orson Scott Card’s sequel to Ender’s Game, Speaker For The […]
Learning Linux (I use arch btw) – Proquest #011
Not my usual type of blogpost, but this topic is not out of character for me. I’ve lately fallen into downward spiral of playing around with different linux distros and desktop environments (hereafter referred to as DEs). It started a few weeks ago with the news of the Windows 11 recall feature. I’ve not been […]
