I finally wrote my first novella in less than a week. I am still processing it in my head because even I myself was surprised that I managed to write that much … Continue reading I wrote a Novella in 3 days.
Revisiting The Shining—and Falling Back in Love with Reading.
I reread The Shining recently and had the strangest realization: I barely remembered huge chunks of it! Either childbirth really did rearrange my brain chemistry, or the movie version quietly overwrote my memories over the years. Probably both? But rereading it now? What. An. Experience. This time around, I tried something new: an immersive read—listening … Continue reading Revisiting The Shining—and Falling Back in Love with Reading.
Hi, I’m alive.
Hello there. It’s been a while. A little life update for the last…7 years?? Wow. I literally just got out of a 6-year reading slump then??? I’ll be honest. The things that happened between 2019–pandemic—2024 & 2025 were like a theme park where there weren’t much available rides on the chill as fuck rides but … Continue reading Hi, I’m alive.
