When you find a truth that surpasses your desire to fit trends and meet approval, you can be certain it’s worth fighting to spread.

Although many things may still need to happen before you identify what your exact work will be, I know that every single person whom you’re meeting and every experience that you’re having is necessary to you discovering your purpose. They are points on a map leading you to the moment where a match will finally be lit and you will be able to see through the darkness.

Review: Second Wave: Acorna's Children by Anne McCaffrey

Second Wave: Acorna’s Children by Anne McCaffrey My rating: 3 of 5 stars With reluctance, I am rating this one only three stars. Sadly, it was because it was whispersynched with a child’s voice that didn’t modulate between characters. And here I had been longing to have the Acorna books audio. This story was fun in this time-traveling, interplanetary plague-ridden space opera. The robots and…

And that’s a wrap of Chapter 8! It was a really fun chapter to draw, despite all the new hairdos to master and instruments with more than the usual amount of details, but the story is finally getting somewhere!  Now I’ll take a week off for the holidays, and be back next year with a new Kendall episode before Chapter 9 kicks off. Happy Holidays, however and whatever you celebrate!

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

Sunlight slanted through stained glass above, Casting mosaics of myth and lost love. A gilded sarcophagus, a knight’s rusted helm, Each artifact whispered, a fragment of a realm.

Review: Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion

Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion My rating: 5 of 5 stars Now, this was a fun book. How is it I never heard about it until recently? I wish I hadn’t finished it so quickly. Luckily, there is a book two, so as soon as Libby has it available, I can go back into M’s world and watch brains form in the once-dead zombie. Go check out the blurb on GoodReads or Amazon. But maybe, like me, you only need a good…
