I Got Something Special Recently….

So I know it’s been a while, but I’m finally out of school for the summer and I was waiting for something I ordered (because I didn’t want to say anything until I got it) and it finally came in yesterday. I think some people might be able to guess what I have, but until […]

The Stories in Media

I seriously need a new book, but I don’t have the time these days to read in full sittings like I used to. Thanks, college. So I’m wondering about media forms (surprise, surprise) and why we can get sucked into some while others cannot grab us. That, I know, happens often for a variety of reasons, but I […]

What Draws Us to Media?

It’s funny how time flies, isn’t it? I can’t believe I’m actually nearing the end of my freshman year of college. I’m sitting here listening to the Rick and Morty theme just because.

Anyway, I’m rereading The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz (#2 on Project: Sherlock rankings) and I’m remembering why it was so high on the list and one of my favorite books. The funny thing is, it was all set to win until a last-minute […]

Objectivity versus Subjectivity

I often wonder what makes writing for TV shows and movies different from writing stories or poems. Obviously of course there’s something called a screenplay involved, but I’ll be totally honest and admit I don’t understand what that is exactly. You can often tell how good a show or movie’s writing is depending on the […]

The Fire

The night is calm, but my mind is a racing engine. It is raining fire all around me. You watch me from above, long to take me in your arms and protect me forever, yet the sky is your prison, and you can only watch as I begin this journey. Every step, every footprint feels […]

Watership Down remains my favorite story of all time and I can’t believe that the genius behind it is gone. To […]

Merry Christmas!

Or “happy Chanukah,”if you don’t celebrate Christmas like I do.So, it’s 12 a.m. where I am and I’d promised myself I’d do some sort of Christmas post. I’m on a family trip right now and brought a book in case I have trouble sleeping tonight, and I’ll have an update on that eventually, but this […]
