October is almost over and fall is creeping its head. On the East Coast, I am experiencing days where the mornings are always cold and the rest of the day is a mystery. It might stay cold well into the night just as much as it transforms into a warm, breezy spring day. The changeContinue reading “Where You Write[On Writing]”

Modern Typewriters[On Writing]
I think people underestimate their writing tools. I started writing my stories on Lenovo laptops. I’m not big on laptops as a device class but they are a necessity for college students. I picked the Lenovo series, specifically the ThinkPad series known for their keyboards. They were really nice to type with, soft and bouncy.Continue reading “Modern Typewriters[On Writing]”
Measuring Time vs Words[On Writing]
The practice of a flowstate can be the first great hurdle in a writer’s journey. So it is no wonder that for many people, increasing their word count becomes the first big step into improving one’s skills. It is the obvious metric to measure progress, an objective measure of productivity. Many other writers also seeContinue reading “Measuring Time vs Words[On Writing]”
I Don’t Agree With Dave Chappelle and That (Should Be) OK
As the title says, I think that Dave Chappelle’s ideas regarding transgender issues are archaic. He is no longer the 20 year-old superstar renegade going against the against an unfair system. He’s almost in his 50’s now, a well respected staple in the comedy scene who has seen and experienced a lot of bullshit. HisContinue reading “I Don’t Agree With Dave Chappelle and That (Should Be) OK”
Visual vs Written Stories
It’s funny because despite being an English major, I spent more time watching movies than reading. A part of it was the lack of a proper ADHD diagnosis but I’m also not particular to the traditional English canon. Burnt out from speed reading a bunch of books I didn’t care for, I didn’t have timeContinue reading “Visual vs Written Stories”
The Many Saints of Newark (2021) Review
“Fan movies” run a fine line. No matter the film, studios are concerned with making movies that can appeal to as many people as possible. It is why it is getting harder to make movies based on original stories. Adaptations and franchises have established brands with fanbases to market their movies. Still, they are alwaysContinue reading “The Many Saints of Newark (2021) Review”
Technology Has Ruined Child Innocence and I Can’t Help But Laugh…
Growing up, I missed out on the multiplayer shooter craze in video games. I never really spent too much time on Call of Duty or Counter Strike. My parents were one of those freaks that only let you play for 30 minutes a day. Despite being Korean, my parents viewed video games as little moreContinue reading “Technology Has Ruined Child Innocence and I Can’t Help But Laugh…”
Tim Burton Made My Favorite Gotham
At the time of this writing, Batman (1989) can be streamed on HBO Max. I think Christopher Nolan has made my favorite Batman stories period. I have read many of the quintessential stories like the Dark Knight Returns, Killing Joke, Year One, and Hush and I do enjoy them all. I am looking forward toContinue reading “Tim Burton Made My Favorite Gotham”
What I want to accomplish with this Serial…
This week I released the 7th chapter of “Everyone Thinks I Dream of Chocolate.” I have always wanted to take my experience and the original short story and expand it into a novel. The decision to make it into a project for this website, however, I did on a whim. I don’t expect this versionContinue reading “What I want to accomplish with this Serial…”
Pepe and the Swastika Proves Symbols are Meaningless
The swastika is a story of symbolic corruption. While it is still strongly associated with good meanings in eastern countries and cultures, it is the symbol of ultimate evil in many western cultures. Like a lot of things, the Nazi’s of World War II have done a good job reminding humanity why we can’t haveContinue reading “Pepe and the Swastika Proves Symbols are Meaningless”
