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 […]

Aust Tales
Aust pulled a piece of parchment from his desk and uncurled it. Before settling in, he rose to toss another log onto the fire. He had wanted to pen this letter all day and he wasn’t going to allow the cold to drive him to bed early. It had been a rather long day, filled […]
Austette is born! (6 months ago…)
2023-11-21 – Today marks the birth of my daughter! Yep that’s what I wrote six months ago before being distracted by something and immediately forgetting about this post. Looks like the last thing I wrote was Minecraft Memories almost a year ago. Whoops. I didn’t forget about the blog, it’s just been hard to find […]
Sparkle
I wrote this in 2010. It’s the rough, untrained product of an angsty 21 year old. Her mind is tired Beauty tossed aside Heart uninspired Pain she cannot hide She does not see her soul As any piece of gold. And the sparkle of her eyes She tosses away as lies. My soul for her […]
