"Hades" And Finding Your Boons As A Writer
via Wikipedia Outside of writing, I spend a lot of my free time gaming. Most recently, I finished Hades. Or, at least, I thought I had finished it. Turns out there's an epilogue sequence I haven't gotten yet and romanceable characters, according to a friend who's actually finished the game in full. In any case, towards the end of the main story, there was something about it that I thought was worthy of a blog post, so here we are. Hades is a roguelike RPG. You play as Zagreus

The For-Funsies WIP | Why I Started Writing A New Book In A Different Subgenre
At the start of 2026, I told myself that I would only be focusing on A Tided Love, my second-chance Regency Era romance project that's been on and off (though admittedly mostly off lately) since I started it during NaNoWriMo 2023. It's a story I feel so deeply for and connected to in a way that I haven't felt with any of my other ongoing Regency stories. In a way, it feels like the one. Despite my passion for A Tided Love, I've been feeling pretty stuck lately. I don't think

For many people, summer is a time for rest and relaxation or embarking on new adventures. For me, on the other hand, it's a bit of a different story. I work at an escape room in a casino mall, situated in a property where those people looking for rest and relaxation or embarking on new adventures during the summer go. Needless to say, it gets hectic! Summer means extended hours of operation. 2026 is my third summer working there, so I roughly know what to expect when it comes
