Writing Plans and Progress!

     "It's time, Ani."      I lazily look up from my blank computer screen to see Renegade with her sabre on her side. "Time for-?" Before I can finish my question, I answer it. "Oh! You're story re-write! I-"     "I know you have been planning it." Renegade pats my head like a mother does to a child. "I've leafed through your journals."     I sigh and collapse back into a relaxed state at my desk. All I had was a world that was beginning to shift and change. Things in the spiritual section of the world feel more real now, and so does the basic understanding of the Void beyond. I look back up to Renegade. "I'm just glad I get to write now."      "Just remember to put it in chapters at this point." Renegade huffs in amusement. "You got a lot of flack for that last time."     "I know, I know." I laugh as turn to my journal to start writing down the plot line and chapter notes. ~     ...

Sights from the Bus

   Hola everyone! Sorry for the delay on this post. This last weekend proved to be busy with some household problems and conflicting schedules in the immediate family plans. Hopefully, I can make it up for it with some photos I was going to share on Saturday, 22 January.   For those of you who don't know, I work on a school bus but don't drive the actual bus. That's all I'll say for the blog's sake. While I was out doing my morning route on 21 January, I took some really nice pictures that I wanted to share. Some are on Instagram, but I will post a few more here that I still enjoyed but didn't think to share there.   Enjoy the pictures, and I will see you on the 29th!

Thoughts about the Concept of Privilege

  I know. What a thing to think about at the beginning of a year.    It's been something that has been on my mind ever since my social media was littered with the discussion back in 2020. Ah, 2020... such a chaotic year. At the time, I basically ignored it and was indifferent to it. I understand that it was a great issue to those who were dealing with what going on in terms of the discussion about privilege, but there was nothing really being done to truly take that conversation and turn it into action. Many surface level tributes and petitions were made, but nothing was truly changed on either a legal or societal level. Just a lot of noise with nothing substantial, as far as I was concerned.   Fast forward to 2021. Nothing much has really changed other than the intensity of the situation. A lot of what bothered people in 2020 began to die down. Much like every bit of controversy ever, it eventually dies to the wheels of time and entropy. Sure, there are still people...

Journal Fun!

  So, I didn't know if I was ever going to show some of the stuff I was doing with my journal, but I decided that I want to. For fun, of course! That, and I think it could inspire some of my peeps to get interested in the sort of journaling I do to help me keep track of what I want to do.    Here are the pictures of my journal for 2022: First, the outer covers! I like putting random stickers on them. This is all I have for now, but I can't wait to put more on!  The first page is devoted to a giant calendar of the whole year. Just so I can quick reference dates when I am planning something way in advance. This next spread has a lot. This spread of two pages has: a key for bullet journal notation, a chore list, a daily routine reminder, a wish list to avoid impulses, and a book list to write down the names and authors of books I want to read this year. The following spread has two major things on it. One is a writing schedule for the year, focusing on my main four nove...

Regaining My Senses

 Hola everyone! How are things?   My apologies for not really being around last month. I just... I just wasn't. I have no real explanation why, other than the usual one I was spouting at the end of 2021 (aka "I have an allergy to online life"/social paralysis).    But now it is 2022. And I'm not sure what I want to do with my online life. Some spaces are a little touchy for me and I'm still learning to navigate them. One being Discord and the other being Twitch, for reasons I really don't think I can fully explain without feeling a bit over-exposed. So we'll just leave it there.   With that in mind, I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things for 2022. I have been spending most of the night working on my new journal which I hope to share at the end of the year. Yes, this year, my journal will be for the whole year. I can explain why that is significant to those who are interested at a later date. But because I am doing that, I am debating and conte...
