Where is “The End”
I'm at this point in my life where I am constantly looking back. Back at old videos, back at old photos, back at old posts, etc. So here I am, back at this post. This was the first post I ever wrote and published on my blog. How ironic is it that the beginning was … Continue reading Where is “The End”
Writing Mediums
Hello everyone! This is technically a repost, but the old content was so useless (in my opinion), that there was no point in editing it or using it in any capacity. Instead, I want to pose a question, and maybe explore how some of the different tools we use to write change the way we … Continue reading Writing Mediums
The Big Question: “Why?”

Open Endings
I've noticed a trend with my work. Since I'm in the editing process of An Austrian March I have little time and energy to work on another full-fledged novel or novella, and until it's done and published, I won't be doing very much novel writing. However, as I mentioned before, I have a very intense need for writing … Continue reading Open Endings
