Long fiction, short stories, endless world building. I have too many things rolling around in my imagination; perhaps if I get better at sharing, I'll get better at finishing.
Real life stuff & things.
There once was a blacksmith named Tormund. He lived in a modest cottage with a blue roof with his partner, Brienne. Once upon a time, he had been an adventurer, but one day took an arrow to the knee and never quite recovered. He found himself with much free time on his hands, and when … Continue reading Ideas: Medieval Blacksmith (Set #21325)
As I finally emerge from my post-Eurovision Week depression - and a hellish real-world workload - it seemed appropriate to reflect on what has been my second Eurovision. This year seemed to have everything. Loads of songs I liked, tons of artists that endeared me to them even if I didn't care for their song, … Continue reading Eurovision 2022 – The Sound of Beauty
Last year, I discovered the coolest thing. An online convention. And it was called Flights of Foundry (read about it here), put on by an organization called Dream Foundry (you can read about them here). A convention geared towards all the creative outlets; art and illustration, podcasting, comics, all aspects of writing (including editing), games, … Continue reading Flights of Foundry 2022
Last year I discovered a new found obsession of mine: the Eurovision Song Contest. If you haven't picked up on it, I'm American. So how did a little American in the midwest find out about Europe's biggest musical contest? From my B.F.F. that lives in the UK? Good guess, but no. On the coat tails … Continue reading Eurovision 2022: My Front Runner
A few nights ago, my partner re-talked me into a thing I had talked myself out of doing from the moment I learned of its announcement last year. Seeing my new-found favorite band, Ghost, when they came through town with Volbeat in tow. At any other time, I would have bought tickets immediately upon announcement. … Continue reading The Night I Saw Ghost
A handful of years ago, one of my childhood best friends and I started a new Christmas tradition: we found a nerdy gift that we would both love to receive and buy it for each other. We would wrap them up and then exchange them on a day when we would make Christmas cookies for … Continue reading LEGO: My Winter Village 2021

*Update originally posted April 26th, 2021* You’ll notice a bit of an update – a sprucing if you will – of the site. I decided an emergence from the Dark Ages warranted a new look. Apologies for the quietness on my part, 2021 has not been the kindest of years thus far. It kicked off … Continue reading Introducing: The Non-Fiction Section
Ever since I can remember, I have written stories. They have entertained me. They have guided me. They helped me understand complex situations in life. When one of my close friends died suddenly when we were seniors in high school, I wrote about it. In a way, it helped me process, to wrap my head … Continue reading A Book In A Bag, by Jess Lourey – A Review
I have a Labradog. And he is a weirdo. A few years ago, in honor of his birthday, I wrote up a little biography for him. Today, he turns twelve-years-old. We lovingly call him a grumpy old man, and sometimes he is a mean old man. So, while reading this biography, I suggest you place … Continue reading The Biography of Emperor Dexter Benjamin
