I've written a bit about Christian media here. I've talked about how terrible the music is, how bad the movies are, and y'all have read my rants about how bad many of the books are. Finally, after my review of The Orphan's Wish, I figured it was about time that instead of complaining about how... Continue Reading →
Blog/Apologetics: Here’s How Not to Evangelize.
Whelp, it's been some time since I last talked about Bryce Crawford and with all the accusations coming out about Todd White and how he's actually a pathological liar and hypocrite (whoever could've guessed) and the fact that Bryce was recently on an interview with disgraced Hillsong pastor Carl Lentz, I figured that we should...

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). While I've been reading the book, one of the things that most stood out to me (and has ever since I read Pride and Prejudice)... Continue Reading →
Blog: How to Fix Your Narcissistic Character: Orual From Till We Have Faces (Spoilers).
Till We Have Faces is probably one of C.S. Lewis' lesser-known works. When I first saw the book when I was checking off the list of books that I had for my 8th grade year, I had had no idea that it even existed. Then I read the description of the book and became very... Continue Reading →
Blog: How to Never Write a Fight Scene: Rings of Power Snow Troll Scene.

I mean, I’ve written numerous articles meticulously picking it apart as compared to the books, making fun of the showrunners and writers, and in general beating it a ton to make sure it’s extra dead. But today, I’m back to break down... Continue Reading →
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 →
Blog: How to Write a Fight Scene
Let’s be honest, fight scenes are one of those things that can either make or break the believability of a story. If they’re really good, they have the audience rooting for the hero and fearing for their lives, or perhaps feeling as cocky as the hero that he’ll win because he’s the hero. On the...

Blog: Happy Valentine’s Day. Let’s Talk About How to Write a Romance.
As you guys know, I am not the type of person who likes love-triangles or many other lovey-dovey type tropes in books. However, I’m not completely heartless; I still enjoy a good love story now and again in a book when it’s not completely contrived. So let’s talk about how I think a romance should...
