One-note characters are a significant gripe that I have with some books, but what exactly are they? Why do I dislike them and, more importantly, how would I suggest improving them? Can these characters be redeemed? I’ll discuss all of this in today’s post: One-Note Characters (and How to Fix Them).

On August 11th, 2021, I released my first video on YouTube. It was an overview of an upcoming Homebrew Campaign Series. From then on, I released all sorts of videos in many categories. I talked about books, movies, shows, games, tabletop roleplaying, life, and a million other things. I didn’t have a niche, and that was very deliberate. I was experimenting and just trying to have fun while I figured out what I wanted to do.It’s a year since I started, and a lot has changed. It’s time to reflect on all of that and discuss what I’m planning for the future. I’m pretty excited to get into it, so let’s go ahead and get started right away!

In today’s post, I’ll be listing out the top five shows I have watched recently so that you can stop scrolling endlessly through your litany of streaming platforms searching for something good to watch. You’ve probably heard of many of these and had people tell you to watch them, but if you haven’t gotten around to them yet, I’m here to tell you to bump them up on your watchlist.

It’s been a while. Well, it’s actually only been a month, but it felt like a long month. My July was absolutely packed; I accomplished more in just a few weeks than I have in several years, so let’s talk about everything I’ve done since we last caught up. From hiking a mountain in Colorado to passing exams here in Kansas City, I feel like a totally different person than I was when I released my last post! Amidst all this, I was reading John Gwynne’s The Hunger of the Gods, so I’ll be giving some of my spoiler-free thoughts on that book in this post, too.

Today is going to be a slower, more chat-style post because I wanted to do something less formal than what I’ve been putting out. I’ll be rearranging my bookshelves for the summer season! If you haven’t noticed—and I can’t blame you if you haven’t—I like to rearrange what’s displayed on my bookshelf based on the current season! For a good while now, I’ve had pinks and greens on display for spring. Now, it’s time to get my shelves ready for summer filming.
