An Unintentional Hiatus

Posted on 26 October, 201810 June, 2019 by Blackwood

It’s been quite the spell, hasn’t it? I never intended to step away from here for so long, but many unexpected things happen in life that derail the mundanity of everything else. To keep a continuously long and convoluted story short, I lost my mother early in 2017 due to Continue Reading

the Big Goal 2015

Posted on 22 April, 201510 June, 2019 by Blackwood

Recently, I’ve worked on focusing my goals and deciding a rudimentary order in which I want to work on things/see them finished and published.
