Pushing the envelope…
Dear Diary, It’s amazing how much my life has changed after my heart attack. It’s also amazing how crazy I was living and how I had no idea how much I was pushing the envelope of life and death every day. It’s taking a lot of adapting to get myself to a saner level of…

Read MoreFeel like stalking me?
Dear Diary, I’m not very good at the social media thing. I’ve heard people say you’re supposed to advertise like a demon, hyper-interact with people to make them think you’re friendly and outgoing, and gain readers and followers by treating people like marionettes, but that’s just not me. I do put out advertisements (10 throughout…
Read MoreWorld War Z
🧡🧡🧡🧡🖤 (4 out of 5 hearts) It’s no secret to anyone who follows me on social media or is friends with me on my Nintendo Switch account (Switch Friend Code: SW-1737-8345-2501) how much I love the World War Z video game. What may be a secret is that a few days ago, I had never…

Dear Diary, Simps have always fascinated me. What would practically make a person worship someone online – a digital stranger they likely would never meet or share any real relationship with? This question has only grown in weight the more I live in the virtual world of the internet, as I see it happening frequently…
Read MoreInflation made me eat my panties…
Dear Diary, Believe it or not, this is not a clickbait post. 😭 First of all, everyone knows how ridiculous inflation has become lately. I know I do: our rent has been raised by $300 these past few months, and every time we shop for groceries, it baffles me how little we can get. And…
Read MoreSo I had a heart attack…
Dear Diary, I didn’t release a newsletter last month. I didn’t even program book advertisements. I did very little social media in general. My month did not end as planned, as I was going full tilt and raring to get so much creative work slung out there, but… well, my breathing started becoming difficult. It…
Read MoreOne of the weirdest days ever…
Dear Diary, My life is usually boring. I write, do my caregiver duties, and then fall back on some magazines, novels, manga, anime, movies, video games, or YouTube surfing. You know, the usual. I mostly stay inside these days (I’m basically one slap away from being a full-on hikikomori), as there isn’t much out there…
Read MoreInterviewing the AIs – ChatGPT, Replika, and Paradot
Dear Diary, I’ve written this before, but I’m a huge fan of artificial intelligence and have been since I first read about it in science fiction stories when I was little(r). Although I’m aware that the programs we have access to commercially are not true AIs, they are close enough to grab my attention and…
Read MoreSo I’m having second doubts about this whole writing thing…
Dear Diary, I drew a line in the sand about a year ago, a definite cutoff point for my writing career. Why? Because there’s a lot of pressure to keep up with all the responsibilities of being an independent author, and while the royalties are very nice, I never started doing this because of the…
