Update on Project: Watership Down

It’s been a while since I shared an update on this ongoing project, so I thought I’d let you all know about this recent development with my Watership Down audiobook. First of all, I’ve decided to dedicate the recording to Adams’ memory, even though I started this project a little over a year before he […]

The Race with Time

I am running in the dark.  Is there light at the end of the tunnel? As Time blurs the notions of this run, I hold my heart in my hands as I gain stride and exert all my energy into this run. I am not running on purpose. Time has forced me to.  I am […]

Review: The Third Man

The Third Man by Graham Greene My rating: 4 of 5 stars “It was not the face that was familiar, for he could not make out so much as the angle of the jaw; nor a movement, for the body was so still that he began to believe that the whole thing was an illusion […]

Review: American Gods

American Gods by Neil Gaiman My rating: 2 of 5 stars “‘Gods die. And when they truly die they are unmourned and unremembered.

How does Music Influence Writing?

It feels so liberating to be out of school and able to read whatever I  want, at least for now. I just reviewed Stardust by Neil Gaiman, and I know I haven’t written anything in a while. I’m not feeling particularly romantic right now, but I am listening to a fan-made version of a long-lost song and […]
