Here’s 5 Eco-Friendly Channels I’ve Subscribed To
2022 has become the year I will change the way I spend and save. I have a low income, so writing and charity grants have been extremely helpful during these testing times. 2021 became the year I made the pledge not to eat meat anymore. In previous posts I have made the pledge to have a more plant-based diet. Like all of us, I want to increase my earnings, and I also want to reduce my spending too.

It All Starts With Me
It’s been nearly sixty years since Martin Luther King Jr. declared that he dreamed a dream. No more segregation or discrimination. He was assasinated in 1968, but his words and legacy still lives on. With all the social movements going around, his speech had never been so relevant.

Thank you, Pikachu
Dear Pikachu, Whilst many feel that they were born in the wrong time, I feel fortunate to be a 90’s child. Everything seemed new and exciting, but everything also felt more creative. Spice Girls brought the rise of girl power. Some of the best TV shows and music were made in the 90s. Many of the great bands that I listened to either started in the 90s or made their best records in the 90s.

The Hootie Bootie Rescue
Yuzuko Shikumi didn’t like being so far away from her girlfriend and son, but it had to be done. She cycled from Kyoto to Paris as foreign birds stared with disapproval. She parked her iBroom on the rooftop of a silver penthouse. She was the only person both sober and fully clothed. The catcalls came the moment people noticed her.

50,000+ Reads on Vocal
I always wondered when it would happen. Then casually going over my stats, I felt my wrists shake in excitement. It finally happened! It's a milestone that I have always wanted to reach because it's hard for many content creators to get views. 50,000 is a significant number for me. It's the word count goal for most Nanowrimo projects and since then, it's become my target word count for most of my novels. I don't always reach this word count with the final product. In fact, I've published more short stories than novellas than longer works but I don't think readers care much about word count. They care more about what words we use and how we use them to express our ideas.

Why I No Longer Pay For Streaming Services
I used to love Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music and every place where you stream music. I thought it was a great way to access your favourite artists and also discover new acts. Whilst paying £9.99 a month to stream as much music as you want is cheaper than buying a ton of music albums, there are several reasons why I have chosen to cancel Apple Music and Spotify Premium.

I Didn't Know Who My Main Character Was Until After I Published My Novel
Yuzuko Shikumi has always been a mysterious character to me. Her name written in Japanese is 仕組み 柚子 (ユズコ). 仕組み (Shikumi) translates to structure. 柚子 (Yuzuko) can be seen as a translation of citrus child. I picked the name Yuzuko after reading the Citrus manga about two stepsisters who engage in a romantic relationship. The main character of that show is confidently called Yuzu.

Tell it to the Bees by Fiona Shaw
I’ve been reading a lot of books over the past week. Sadly, I tested positive for Covid-19, and have to stay in for ten days. To keep me busy I have been doing a readathon. I’ve been focusing on sapphic romances and books I had on my reading list. I must say out of all the books I have read lately, I would say this one is my favourite. I found myself enjoying sapphic fiction because I feel I can relate to both people in the relationship. Many of the books I read lately shared a theme of romance between two women in a times where it was publically frowned upon. To this day, there’s still a lot places where open sexuality is frowned upon. Sure, it’s a lot more acceptable now, than in the book’s setting, but when there are other countries where being gay is still punishable by death, it makes you wonder how much humanity has really progressed in 70 years.
