What she doesn't know before arriving is that emperor needs her help - his empire is seething with resentments from the wars he has fought and the nobles plot against him.

Review: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (movie)
I saw Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them over the Christmas holiday and I had some very interesting thoughts. Again, I don't want to hash out "yet another review" of whether it was good or not. I'll leave that to the professionals. I will also assume anyone reading this has already seen the movie, because although… Continue reading Review: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (movie)
Review: Rogue One (Spoilers!)
Spoiler-ish review. Read only if/when you have watched!
Review: Chappie (movie)
I have been something of a fan of Neil Blomkamp since District 9. I don't normally like graphic, violent movies but I make exception for Blomkamp films. I finally saw Chappie, his third film, this weekend (I know, I'm only like 18 months behind the times...) Part of the reason I am a Blomkamp fan… Continue reading Review: Chappie (movie)
Writing: Pros & Cons of Prologues
I love when writers talk about prologues. There are good prologues and bad prologues. I've always kind of loved the prologue to The Hobbit. I think it really helped inform me, the reader, to the pace and the style of the story. I know a lot of writers who hate it because it is dull, descriptive… Continue reading Writing: Pros & Cons of Prologues
Review: Planet Explorers (video game)
I started this game in early access. And Re-started when it was released. So I haven't finished it. I'll argue that I don't have to hit 100% to write up a in-play review of the game! Especially because this has been a fun game from the start. Oh, it isn't perfect, but for anyone who… Continue reading Review: Planet Explorers (video game)
Review: Dark Horse/Lightning’s Daughter
So during December, I am going to do some "throwback" reviews. Books that have been in my library as long as I've had it. With my recent house purchase I have been unpacking my books. I lost some books. So with renewed access to my full library, I want to go back to some of… Continue reading Review: Dark Horse/Lightning’s Daughter
Musings: My Superpower
It's actually a good thing I don't have super powers, I'm not sure I could be a super hero. I mean, I would totally try to do good things, but let's face it - "good" is subjective. I would want to stand up to bullies, and if I had superpowers I could do it without considering… Continue reading Musings: My Superpower
Writing: Story Ideas
I haven't been doing NaNoWriMo this year. It's upsetting on some levels, but I just couldn't balance Moving-Into-House Nov 1st (which was really like the whole first week, let's be honest), Election-Grief (and yes, I've got all stages of grief for my country still), Georgia burning down (seriously: click here to see pictures of the smoke… Continue reading Writing: Story Ideas
