I'm not a sports journalist, but I am a fan of football.
I don't know where I would post something like this so I did it on the Rooster Teeth forums.
I wanted to share my opinion on the current coaching carousel in the NFL. 🔗🔽

I know politics is important, but is that all this app is now? I open it and it's just a huge pit of political turmoil shoved at me.
Where are the books, games, and movies?
Where is the art?

My goals for 2026 are already in full swing.
I want to finish writing Project Sunrise by June. I'm off to a great start as I'm roughly halfway through the first part.
I want to get Project Valentine ready to be published in July. 🧵

2025 had its highs and lows, just like every other year, but I'd say it was a good one overall. It was filled with personal growth, writing accomplishments, and setting plans in motion for what I want to accomplish in the year to come. 🧵

To say that the final month of 2025 was productive would be an understatement. It ended up taking the crown from last month to become the most productive month I've ever had as far as word count goes. 🧵

To some, Christmas is a time of family and love. But not Scrooge. After the tragic loss of his wife, Christmas became a beacon to grief, and a life long since lost.
Tonight she will return, but will Ebenezer have the strength to confront a painful past in order to save a once promising future?

I should share this while it's still 2025. Listened to a lot of music this year. Spotify was one off from my age and I apparently rebel through music...which is entirely accurate.

I wrote 1,155 words this morning as my WIP crosses 45k.
I also fell into a deep research rabbit hole. A fun fact I learned, the kraken originated in Norse mythology, not Greek. #amwriting
