You read that right, WE’RE IN HAMILTEN AGAIN! I am so excited to bring a shortened version of The End of July, a play I spent all of last year working on with the Feminista playwrighting unit which I’m apart. It started out as a play I wrote in 24 Hours for a contest for my …

“Because that’s what the story’s really about: getting out of paying your debts. That’s not how they tell it, but I knew. My father was a moneylender, you see,” (Novik 3). I adore fairy tales and especially their retellings. I’ve heard of Naomi Novik’s hit Uprooted and plan on reading it at some point, but …
Well it’s November and that means a couple of things. First it means we’re back to our regularly scheduled blog posts, which means one personal post every Monday with a possible book review thrown in later to mix it up. While the hybrid Inktober thing was a pretty fun exercise I’m not sure if I’d …
Today’s prompt is apparition which is a fancy word for ghost, so let’s talk about them! I’m afraid of ghosts. I am also afraid of saying I’m afraid of ghosts in case it makes the ghosts mad and begin to haunt me. But I am also afraid that if I say I’m not afraid of …
I try to pull a tarot card everyday, today would have been my mom’s birthday. Things collided and were written about. I’ve written before about my tarot cards, the connection I feel from them and the guidance I get. I know it might not really be a spiritual connection, even though it’s what I like …
Kelley Armstrong is one of my favourite Canadian authors. I’m constantly amazed at her range of work as well as how many books and genres she has written across in her career. I especially love how with the Rockton series she sets it in the Yukon because the Territories are so beautiful and often forgotten …
(Written late on my phone, will fix all spelling and grammar errors later!) I’ve been feeling worn out and unmotivated for a while now. Part of this is because I had a bad cold that for some reason knocked all the energy out of me a week ago (which rarely happens when I get sick). …
Normally if I was writing one of my usual “I have nothing to write” posts I’d tell you about my week, as I’ve done twice now. But my weeks aren’t as exciting as they used to be, not since I’ve been laid off. At least then I was guaranteed to be busy for eight hours …
Surprisingly, I’ve seen a lot of the Oscar-nominated movies this year. Usually I’m lucky if I can even recognize one of the titles, let alone watching it. Unless it’s that year’s Disney nominated animated feature, I probably haven’t seen it. But for some reason I have and the one theme I’ve noticed from the movies …
I used to hate Valentine’s Day, and I still don’t particularly enjoy it. It’s just such an incredibly commercialized holiday that people put so much emphasis on. ,But maybe I just feel this way because I’ve never actually celebrated it with someone, or because I’ve never been in a relationship.
