Finding the time to write
Finding the time to write is tough, but here's how I do it. #indieauthor #MasterTheCraft
A few weeks ago I officially disconnected my internet service. There were a number of reasons that went into that decision, but the chief among them was that I was spending extremely too much time playing video games, binging on YouTube and Netflix, and endlessly scrolling through the Facebook timelines.

This week in reviews
So I’m reading a lot for my classes this semester so leisure reading (i.e. reading for this blog) has taken a hit, so I’m thinking that I’m going to be reviewing short stories for a bit as they’re well, short. I have several collections so there will be variety.
This week I’ll be reviewing two short stories from the collection Tomorrowland by Joseph Bates.
I haven’t completely decided which ones I’m going to review yet, but I’m leaning towards Mirrorverse and Guilt City. The first and seventh stories in the book.
The review of both stories will come out on Friday.

That’s all he had to say; I understood him then.

In fact, if I understand the theory right, and take it to its logical conclusion, it means that everyone is everything and everyone else. We all go through every possible permutation of life throughout the Multiverse. There are universes, in other words, where I am a murderer, and others where I am the murdered, others where I’m a famous rock star or can move objects with my mind, and many others where I’m just sitting in a room somewhere wasting my life, like I’m doing right now.
