Why I Don’t Hate Valentine’s Day
What is Valentine's Day? Waste of Time? Sign of Corporate Greed? Pagan Festival rebranded by the Romans? Valentines is one of those days people either seem to love or hate.

Last Week: A Friday Feeling
So, I’ve been a bit lax on the blog this week, my motivation has pretty much dried up, and I fully blame the caffeine (or lack, thereof). Work has also been super busy, with my manager away I’ve had to step onto the plate, and it’s left me tired, drained, and a little bit moody. …

Century: Writespiration #4
He blinked. “How long have I been asleep?” he asked, his voice croaking and previously unused. “Exactly one century” answered a voice with practiced calm.
