Do You Think Star Wars Will Be Everything You Want It To Be?
Posted on December 15, 2015 Leave a Comment
The Star Wars fandom is buzzing with emotions. Lots of emotions. Excitement, trepidation, contempt, apathy–these probably sound familiar, and you may fall into one or more categories. Amongst all the buzz, there is one question I’m tired of hearing, answering, and hearing others answer: Do you think Star Wars will be everything you want it to be? […]
The Emotional States of Not Being at Comic Con
Posted on July 11, 2015 Leave a Comment
I’ve never been to San Diego Comic Con. Not from lack of interest, but from lack of proper planning (and lack of someone to go with who shares enough matching interests). This means that around this time every year, I have to deal with my emotions of not going to SDCC. I’m sure many of […]

Last week, after five and a half years, I finally defended my thesis to get my Masters in creative writing. The road grew so long from a combination of anxiety and red tape, and it seems unreal that it’s finally coming to an end. By the time the process finally finished, it almost felt too […]
