Inspiration: Abandoned Rebel Base
I might have mentioned that I’m a Star Wars fan. If you know me at all, it won’t take long for to bring up Star Wars and get your take on it. Can we be friends if you don’t like Star Wars? Or if you
Inspiration: Anime Super Heroine
Don’t go nuts and don’t take that title over-literally. At least not if it would compel you to try and burn my house down for calling the images I’m posting here as an “anime super heroine”. When I think of anime, factors like style and
Inspiration: Abandoned Imperial Mining Facility
Watching the first three episodes of Andor has my little mind all lit up with the new places, ships, and aliens I witnessed last night. I’ve enjoyed all 3 previous Disney+ Star Wars-based shows to greater or lesser extents, but Andor might turn out to

Redzone Refocus

It’s Almost NaNoWriMo!
Phew. Well, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? With NaNoWriMo starting tomorrow, I thought I’d check-in and give an update on Redzone. Sort of a proof-of-life kind of thing. First off, I’ve got an updated word count. Word count: 24,729 Second, I’ve got some news.
