I’m not sure if y’all know this but I’m way into gaming. I’m not hardcore or anything, but I like to dabble. I’m a dabbling gamer, lol! Anyways, tomorrow is when Pokémon Sword and Shield comes out. I’ve been a fan since the Gold and Silver days (got the games for Christmas along with aContinue reading “Game on tomorrow!!”

It’s supposed to be late Fall, but it seems more like a combination of Winter and (strange enough) Spring where I am. It’s been cold, don’t get me wrong, but it’s also been warm at times. Take today for instance (shout out to Veteran’s Day. Also, if we REALLY valued our soldiers, we wouldn’t beContinue reading “Strange weather we’re having…”

I’m worried that things are gonna get worse, with no “better days” inContinue reading “The specter of current events”

However, if you would like, I can at least share some of my drawings of original characters along with the lore behind them. IContinue reading “I also have a DeviantArt page!”

Is it folly to hope? Is it strange to want more? From life’s forbidding slopes To the tender breeze on the shore. Is it weird that we dream? That we are born wanting more? If hope is a folly, I don’t want to know why for. I plan to keep hoping That all storms canContinue reading “Is it folly to hope?”

As I mentioned, I am an amateur writer, which is not to say I am inexperienced at all. I have written stories and poems that I have submitted to contests @ Writers Digest among other publications. I also have worked on a comic book story for Southeast Comics (it’s date of publication is tbd, unfortunately).Continue reading “Update: what I’ve been up to before the Hub was created”
