When I was in 5th grade, one of my required reading books was Catherine Called Birdy, a story about a girl growing up in medieval England and coming to terms with the transition from being a young girl with hardly a care in the world to a young woman with responsibilities, a transition that's not...

Blog: How To Write a Romantic Villian: Mr. Willoughby vs. Mr. Wickham (Spoilers)
I first became aware of Jane Austen's novel Sense and Sensibility when I watched the movie adaptation start Kate Winslet and only recently started reading the book (review coming soon).

Review: Millie Maven and the Bronze Medallion was New Age Trash.

I am just someone who likes psychology and has spent several weeks watching clips of The Office on YouTube and researching it on Dunderpedia (yes, that is a real website), because a friend of mine likes the show and I needed conversation...

Blog: How not to Write Emotionally Damaged Characters: Tris
I am not a fan of the Divergent trilogy. Not only is it essentially soft porn for teenagers, but the main character, Tris (short for Beatrice because she’s just soo edgy), has one of the worst mental health arcs I have ever read. Throughout the series (especially in book 2), she is a whiny, selfish... Continue Reading →
