Pokemon Master

When I was a ten year old - maybe even a five year old - I wanted to be a Pokémon master. I'm twenty-eight now, and, to be honest, I still want to be one. Pokémon has been around for 25 years, which is nothing short of incredible, and it's still going strong. I no … Continue reading Pokemon Master →

Letting Go

I have mentioned it before, but I was a pretty big "weeb" back in the day. And honestly, I still am - but it was a much greater obsession in my teens. I collected manga for a long time, and managed to complete many series, mostly of the shoujo genre - which are manga aimed … Continue reading Letting Go →

For me, it's mostly music/songs that I listened to so frequently I will never forget the lyrics, no matter how much time passes. For example, I … Continue reading Never Forget →

One of the greatest Christmas presents I've ever received is the Pikachu-themed Gameboy Color with Pokemon Yellow Version. With the recent release of Pokemon Sun and Moon, I've been reflecting on my history with Pokemon quite a bit, from winning … Continue reading Pokemon World →

Favorite Anime Openings

Music is imperative when I'm working on a writing project. I'm one of those obnoxious people who crafts specific playlists for each story I'm writing, and I listen to them when working on said projects. But sometimes, my well of inspiration runs a bit dry, and I need a different kind of musical inspiration to get the … Continue reading Favorite Anime Openings →
