February is Fantasy Month! And this year the theme is one of my favorite things of all time…FANDOMS. So today I hope you will indulge me as I release my Ultimate Fangirl Mode! (Not that you’ve never seen that before…) If you’ve never heard of Fantasy Month, allow me to direct you to its creator, the beautiful, amazing, storytelling genius herself Jenelle Schmidt. All the way back in 2016, in order to knock back the February blues, Jenelle created “February is Fantasy Month” in which we can explode the blogosphere and social media with one of the greatest genres of…

Ah, villains. You love to hate them or maybe even genuinely love them or some confusing mix of the two. But either way, stories would be terribly boring without these nefarious foes. Since it is indeed October and we’ve entered “spoopy” season, I really couldn’t help but do a whole post about one of my favorite topics: VILLAINS. Because yes, yes, I do love me a good ol’ villain (erm, fictional villain I should clarify). Can’t live with ‘em (‘cause they’d probably kill you), can’t live without them (‘cause then there’d be no story). Villains truly make the fictional world…

It’s certainly no secret that the majority of us are stuck at home right now, trying to adjust to a new normal and, possibly, trying to find some form of entertainment to keep the family occupied before we all, you know, lose our minds. I’ve been wanting to do a post like this for months, and I figured now was the perfect time! It comes at no surprise to anyone that I’m a huge Disney nerd. I’ve been watching pretty much everything Disney produces since I was a toddler—from the classic princess movies, to pretty much all the theatrical releases,…

So I saw Endgame. Yep. *ETERNAL SHRIEKING* Annnd that’s basically the extent of my thoughts. Juuuust kidding. I have thoughts. SO. MANY. THOUGHTS. I wasn’t originally planning to even do a review. Have I ever done a movie review here??? I don’t think I have. I usually stick to book reviews. And everyone and their pet tree has done an Endgame review. Do we really need another one? But. WELL. I’ve been faithfully following the MCU for a decade now. That’s a long time. It didn’t seem right to let this big finale of the MCU as we know it…

Feel free to include the above graphic somewhere in your post (but it’s definitely not necessary). Take the questions and answer them on your blog (or…

My awesome friend Jenelle is hosting “February is Fantasy Month” on her blog and across social media, and it’s just as the name suggests—spending all of February celebrating the greatest genre of all time (not that I’m biased or anything). As a part of the fun, Jenelle has created a TAG. Which is what I shall be doing today! I honestly can’t believe we’re so close to the end of February. Like HOW??? Can I get a refund? I had about a million and twelve plans for this month, and only got to touch like…a fourth of them. I feel…

Valentine’s Day might has passed BUT that doesn’t mean we have to stop the love. And, to be honest, I usually just use Valentine’s Day as an excuse to gush about my favorite fictional couples. I HAVE A PROBLEM OKAY? Luckily, in honor of this month of love, my dear friend and awesome person all around Kiri Liz has created a linkup literally catered toward gushing over fictional ships. Best tag ever? I THINK SO. This tag focusing on all our different OTPs (which is fandom-ese for “One True Pairing”) and compares them to chocolate. Like opening a heart-shaped box…

Valentine’s Day is this week which means a lot of people are scrambling around trying to figure out the perfect dates for their sweethearts. And for a lot of people, it’s pretty simple. A nice coffee shop date, going to the theater, or just grabbing some flowers and a card at Winn-Dixie. But what about if you live in a fantasy world where such conveniences aren’t available? Not every fellow has a Walmart around the corner after all. I mean, sure, you may be adept at swordplay and the lost heir to the entire kingdom, but how is that supposed…

It is never too late for lists, right? Because…like, since I took a break from blogging at the end of the year, I didn’t do all those fun year-end list posts everybody and their pet chinchillas were doing. Soooo I thought I’d just do them NOW. Because LISTS. If I had to sum my life up it’d be: Writing, reading, and watching movies. (Geek, anyone?) Since I talk about my writing probably more than I should here, I thought today I’d switch over to my other two favorite subjects and list my top five favorite reads and movies watched in…
