  True crime does not interest me. The history, mystery and psychology behind Jack the Ripper are what intrigue me. That is why I thought I'd read Stalking Jack the Ripper  by Kerri Maniscalco. It is an exception to the rule (don't tell Holmes lol).  Trigger warning for readers : Stalking Jack the Ripper has gory scenes pertaining to blood, surgical procedures and bodily descriptions. This blog post doesn't go too much in-depth about that and the images do not indulge in those themes. --Spoilers-- Summary Audrey Rose Wadsworth is a teenager in 1888 London and the daughter of Lord Wadsworth. Since the death of her mother who did not survive an organ transplant, Audrey has pursued forensic science with a passion, learning all she can from her Uncle against her father's and society's wishes. Her brother, Nathaniel, looks out for her, despite his disgust for her interest.  While in disguise as a boy at the school her uncle teaches at, Audrey encounters Thomas Cresswell...

I've been struggling to focus on my own creative endeavors when I was struck with motivation and inspiration by one of  dannyphantom.exe's TikTok videos on Dark Hawk . I've been following Danny for the last month or so. Watching and listening to all of his content is helping me to shift my perspective about body image, especially my own. It's also helping me with how much I care about other people's opinions regarding trivial things.  After doing my own tarot reading and having recently seeing a video by Location Rebel about freelancer writers producing content on TikTok , I had no qualms about returning to video creation, much to my surprise. (I say "return" because once high school finished, it was good riddance to obligatory video assignments since I pursued writing and other art forms.)

Becoming a writer is a struggle for most, from gaining experience to having the time to write to believing you're a "real" writer. In a past blog post, I shared my experience about how I fell into a fog, believing wholeheartedly that I couldn't write and didn't have a future. I asked some friends of mine, Lia and K.T. Anglehart a while back to share their writing stories. In today's post, I asked a friend and fellow writer, Gen Methot to share her journey of how she got into writing. Below is her guest post. Enjoy! The Lovely Gen Methot Gen's Story I don’t know why I’m embarrassed to admit this, but the thing that made me want to become a writer was the film Little Women. Nope, not the book; the Hollywood movie. Granted, I was probably seven or eight years old and classic novels were probably inaccessible to me, but I still can’t seem to forgive my eight-year-old-self for being so uncultured. How silly of me! I don’t know why Jo March had such a prof...
