edit: Apologies! After listening to the episode again, I realized I never said the title of the Omegaverse webtoon. It's called "Unromantic" by Jeong Seokchan. Again, sorry for the dumb mistake oTL

Just as the title says, it's a new year... and new book recs because BOY have I been binge reading like crazy. I also talk about how and WHY I book binge because... context is key. xD

January 6th, 2021. A day that will go down in history as the day America straight up lost all integrity for itself, its people, and the democracy it claims to stand for and uphold. I had words. Angry words. Y’all get to hear them. What a way to start off the new year! 😑

This is it. Our last episode of the year. And what a year it has been! Tomorrow begins the New Year, so a very Happy New Year to you all!!! 🥂

Happy holidays folks! Just one more week to go, then it’s BUH-BYE 2020! HELLO 2021!

APOLOGIES! Here is last week’s episode! oTL I finally figured out what was wrong with anchor... it was actually a combination of my Internet connection and an outdated app. That’s why it wasn’t syncing properly so I thought the episodes were scheduled when really NOTHING uploaded to the app at all so nothing could post... 😵 Anyway! Hope you enjoy this one a bit late, and look out for this week’s episode on Thursday as usual 👍🏼

I talk about random things, like worldbuilding, and shit.

Happy December ppl... Guess this is how this year’s final month is gonna begin 🤣

I talk NaNoWriMo. Highs, lows, and everything in between. Word count, music recs, weird ass places to write. How to keep yourself motivated and engaged in your writing. What to do when you’re stuck or feel like you can’t go on. Here’s some of the music I’ve been listening to while writing this year’s NaNoWriMo novel, “The Unending Sky” Lo-fi for Witches ONLY: https://youtu.be/4Hg1Kudd_x4 Lo-fi for Grim Reapers ONLY: https://youtu.be/Y7i4CGWFGfA A Father’s Lesson: https://youtu.be/gEzJ-o0gz_E KEIHATSU Japanese  Lo-fi Hip-Hop: https://youtu.be/FDEYHxtimKk The Weirdos Waltz: https://youtu.be/g2-r2muILus

And by “star”... I mean my mom. Ladies, Gentlemen, Third and Non-binary Genders... it’s time to meet THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE... no really folks. It’s just me and my mom bitchin’. This should be fun.

Yeah... such is life.
