You may have noticed that the quantity — and, arguably, the quality — of my entries has decreased in recent months. If you haven't, well, I have, and I've looking inward to seek a solution to that for quite some time. For now, I am putting Daydreams on hiatus in order to refocus and reorient … Continue reading An Announcement

Self-Doubt
Sometimes, I get things right on the first try. More often than not, I do not. I don't know whether most people are this way, or whether people other than myself tend to succeed at things the first time. I guess I don't know for sure whether I've actually failed, sometimes, when I feel like … Continue reading Self-Doubt
Migraine
I had a migraine yesterday. I don't know if you're experienced with migraines, but they're quite unpleasant. I suppose that's both obvious and an understatement, but it's worth saying nonetheless. Before a migraine hits me, I get something called a migraine aura. In manifests in different ways for different people, but for me, it comes … Continue reading Migraine
The Snot Mother
A small, moderately true story, to make up for the lack of a post this morning: As with all people, I am occasionally ill. I feel like I become ill rarely, but that it tends to linger for quite some time. Once, I had a cold which began in my throat as a creeping, thirsting … Continue reading The Snot Mother
GenCon
This weekend, I attended GenCon for the first time. For those who don't know, GenCon is a gaming convention, where games are previewed, taught, playtested, and played. The majority of the content is tabletop games, although there are also digital games present. Artists and authors participate as well. A sizable portion of the vendor's hall … Continue reading GenCon
Author’s Reflection
Every once in a while, on days like today when I either can't think of something to write, or I know what I want to write but it's not coming out easily or the way I want to see it happen, I take some time to look back over things I've already written. I'm usually … Continue reading Author’s Reflection
Barrier-Fog
Sometimes, there is a barrier-fog in my brain. It frustrates me, because it lets me see what I want to work on. Everything is blurred and refracted, but I still know it’s there; I have a concept of what my goal is, even though the barrier-fog makes it hard to see clearly. Sometimes the goal … Continue reading Barrier-Fog
Opera
Tonight, I will be performing on stage in a show for the first time. I have performed on stage before. I've been doing it since, oh, elementary school, I suppose, or perhaps the seventh grade — whenever it was that I had my first band concert. I began learning to play the flute in the … Continue reading Opera
Glass
When water fills a glass, and it fills that glass perfectly, with no air inside and the water is clear and still and the light is hitting the glass just right — is it not hard to see the water, and the fullness? It looks, from certain angles, as though the glass is empty: not … Continue reading Glass
Favorite Days
My favorite days are not those which are filled with golden light, where the sun streams unhindered down from above through the lens of a sky the blue of a baby’s eye; where the grass seems to glow a vibrant green, and a faint breeze carries the scent of summer flowers in full bloom, and … Continue reading Favorite Days
