Banes at 12:00AM, July 4, 2024

Hello everyone!

It’s Sunday again and I once again feel like talking about writing, particularly the art of naming things and the wordplay that may be used to do so. Me, I’m an obsessive player of words. When I name a certain element or group or a single ...

I was going to do a Character Deep Dive yesterday, for you to read today. However it wasn't meant to be, because while I was making my analysis, my house alarm went off because some decided to try to break in. So enthusiastically that my shutters were shattered and ...

Banes at 12:00AM, June 6, 2024
