My hopes for this year

 Hello Readers!


      In lieu of today being national sci-fi day, I would like to share some of my hopes for this year. As you all should know by now, I'm a writer and I've started this blog to help me get better with it. While blogging may not be my money maker right now, I do have a few projects in the works for me to turn into a couple of book series. One of which I'm hyper-fixated on, is a Young Adult sci-fi series focused on teenagers in the distant future similar to Star Trek but has themes of sex, death and LGBT+ characters. Age range for that would be 16-18+ given the sexual themes. Two other projects are fantasy oriented and won't contain sexual themes as of right now and will also be geared towards Young Adults. I'm really excited to get these books done and would love everyone's feedback on my writing in general. 


      Now let me tell you about my favorite sci-fi show, which is Star Trek. I'm not a really big fan of the Original Series, but I do have a few favorite episodes from that series. One of which being the episode where this blob like figure is being scrutinized because the men running the mining work on the planet is using the eggs of the blob as fuel. This one episode really shows the pain of the blob mother through the mind melding techniques Spock uses as a vulcan and my favorite line from the episode is McCoy's famous "I'm a doctor, not a brick layer". The Next Generation is one of the two Star Trek series that got me hooked on the show as I watched the movie First Contact on TV and random episodes of Voyager. TNG was great because it showed a more developed Federation and it gave a little bit more light to the inner workings of a space ship. Deep Space Nine was my all time favorite Star Trek show as it merged religion with space diplomacy in a more personable way than Star Wars ever could. DS9 commonly deals with war, grief and revolves around a single father who would rather be somewhere else than on a space station that was used by an enemy who shows themselves throughout the run of the show. Voyager is good, but I haven't finished watching it because we can't afford any streaming services at the moment. As for Star Trek: Enterprise and all of the following star trek shows that followed over the years, I can't wait to watch those when I get the chance.


      Next post might be about some of my favorite books, so be on the look out for that. I would like for all of my followers to become active in responding to these posts so I can write better and know that my work isn't futile. As for now, I will sign off and I look forward to posting again . Love you all.

Let the Sky Fall and Burn

 Hi Readers and Happy New Year. Here's a trigger warning for sensitive topics below, but I hope you enjoy this post! There’s this old saying “Home is where the heart is”, but I have always struggled with belonging and figuring out where “home” is for me. Last Sunday, I tried getting back into a schedule for posting and pulling cards, generally just trying to get back to making everything I started over the past few years a thing. With that, I pulled an oracle card for the energy I needed to have to follow through with, and it was Full Moon in Aries which calls for honesty and a return to the fire I had. Hestia, the goddess guiding me this month, also asks this much of me and to do it gently. Writing is one way that I can return to myself and to reconnect with the fire that burns inside. Especially when memories and the trauma that resides in those memories fights to overwhelm me. On my facebook page, I announced that along with growing up with undiagnosed autism, I grew up with und...

Releasing the Light

 Hello Readers, I am not sure how deep I am going to go with this post but I am allowing myself to be seen regardless of where this goes. I have hidden myself for so long that I don’t fully know what it means to be seen. It seemed that every time I outgrew my shell, and ventured out to be social-able, that I didn’t truly know what was going on. It felt like I was stuck in the past or a time loop, like I was always blindsided, but I won’t allow that to happen again.  I’ve lived for the happiness of others for so long, and it got me nowhere, so I am here to tell you that doing what I am doing, becoming who I am meant to be, is what makes me happy. I care about people and want to spread hope, shine the light within me and be myself, because doing that means the world would be a better place.  It also reminds me that for me to gain something new through the new moon phase, I must let go of something equally important. So, I chose to release sheltering myself, letting go of my...

Awakening to the Call: Finding My Voice Where Others Refuse to Listen

  Hello Readers,   Living in a time where everyone seems content with what they’re doing or even sure of what they want to do is really daunting when there’s a lot of options. There is also the lengthy process of weighing the pros and cons of choosing what to do that proves just as difficult. For me, it’s these two combined with knowing that whatever I wanted to do needed to fit me and my whole personality while giving me the confidence to keep doing it.   Finding my calling and my purpose has been difficult because I never genuinely believed in myself. This is partially due to Imposter Syndrome and me believing that everyone is better than me. While it is worth noting that there are people better than me at writing, it does not negate the fact that my voice is worth hearing. Sometimes I feel silenced by others who talk over me and other times I silence my own self because the people I aim to talk to are imposing as heck. It finally took me realizing that if I wan...
