How My Debut Book “Wonderment Within Weirdness” Won a 4-Star Literary Titan Award
There are moments in life that do not fully register at first. Moments where you stare at a screen, reread the same sentence multiple times, and wonder if what you are seeing is actually real. For me, one of those moments came when I found out that my debut book, Wonderment Within Weirdness, had received a 4-star silver award from the Literary Titan. Now, before anyone misunderstands what I am saying, no, the Literary Titan award is not the Pulitzer Prize. It is not one of those century-old […] -
YouTube’s AI Is Destroying Creators: UnderSparked’s Demonetization Story Sounds Familiar
It's May 1, 2026. And I want to talk about something that happened just a few days ago that caught my attention because it hit close to home. A YouTube channel called UnderSparked posted a video about how YouTube demonetized them, how YouTube's automated systems flagged their content as not having value, and how this could seriously impact them financially. You can watch their video here: https://youtu.be/OB_5dzU0W_w?si=t7FNm8mRw6CdD2iK Before I get into UnderSparked's situation and why it […] -
To Every Writer, Author, and Reader Out There — I Want to Tell You About My Book
I want to talk about my debut novel, "Wonderment Within Weirdness." Not in a sales pitch kind of way, not with a rehearsed elevator pitch or a list of reasons you absolutely must buy it right now. I just want to talk about it honestly, the way I would if we were sitting somewhere having a real conversation. I have been thinking a lot lately about how to share this book with more people, particularly with the writing and reading communities that I genuinely respect and engage with, and I […] -
Wonderment Within Weirdness Is Weirdly an Anti-War Novel
Sometimes you write a book and only later realize what it was actually about. That might sound strange, but it happens more often than people think. Stories have a way of revealing their deeper meanings after the fact, sometimes months or even years after they are written. When I first wrote my debut novel, Wonderment Within Weirdness, I was not sitting there thinking, “I am going to write an anti-war novel.” That was not the plan. The goal was much simpler and honestly much more chaotic. […] -

When Rejection Feels Personal
I’ve always believed that if you put your heart into something — really try — eventually, it will be seen. But lately, I’m not so sure. For months, I’ve been trying to get my websites approved for AdSense. Three sites, three different focuses, one consistent effort: to share my work, my voice, my perspective. And every time, I get rejected. Every time, the same message: “Low-quality content.” No explanation. No guidance. No human response. Just those cold words, repeated, […]
