Writing Analysis – Small Saga

Welcome! One of things that I love to do is think about and overanalyze various media. So sit back, relax and prepare to read my hopefully coherent thoughts. Todays subject is Small Saga.

Small Saga is an RPG developed and published by Darya Noghani, and is one of those indie gems. Before I get too into it, I do need to address a couple points. First, I’m not really going to discuss any gameplay or presentation elements. My thoughts on those are more expressed in my review of Small Saga on Gaming Furever. Feel free to go read that before hopping onto this. Secondly, there will be some spoilers as I am looking at the writing and story of Small Saga. I won’t spoil any endgame stuff or go into too much detail on some things but spoilers can’t be helped. Oh and if you’re wondering why I’m talking about a game I reviewed somewhere else, the simple answer is because I don’t discuss the story much in that somewhere else. I’ll peel back the curtain a bit and tell y’all that when I(or any other staff member) of GF review a game, we don’t put much emphasis on the story. Because of how subjective and hugely veritable a story in a video game can be, we typically try not to focus on it too much in terms of what we cover and how it gets scored. Make no mistake, story is important to Small Saga as we’ll see soon. But I did want to clarify that. All that said, let’s get into it.

Small Saga is, at its heart, a story about a journey of acceptance and learning to cope with grief. The main protagonist is Verm, a mouse who at the start of the game, goes to steal some seeds from a gods treasury(grocery store). This doesn’t go well and Vern loses both his tail and his brother in the process. Afterwards, Verm takes up a switchblade and dedicates himself to trying to find the yellow god and get revenge. To do so, he starts by trying to find out more information on it. This takes Verm to Cranbaile, an underground mole city that’s seen better days. Before I get too much further, I need to bring up the setting. Small Saga takes place beneath the streets of modern day London. Rodent society is not as sophisticated as humans, so they tend to come across as more renaissance style if you will. Cranbaile is located outside a residential home that has a felidae, in other words, a cat. When Verm arrives, he’s actually swatted by the cat and is taken inside the mole city by Slobhan. Verm doesn’t find any useful information there and continues on his way after dealing with the cat. Verm is standoffish and at a couple of points, refuses to get involved with others business. Of course whenever he tries to leave them, he gets a headache that reminds him what the right thing to do is. Verm is good mouse but one who has to deal with his grief. Much of his journey is learning to do just that, and with the help of his friends, he does eventually cope and accept how stupid his quest really is. Those friends also come with their own arcs and quirks.

One of those friends is the aforementioned Slobhan. Slobhan is a mole who loves to read and hides away godly items like the Little Mermaid. After meeting Verm, she decides she has to do something about the cat plaguing Cranbaile and arms herself with a lighter. This serves both to introduce the concept of effective damage types as well as establish Slobhans arc. It’s after this final battle with the cat that Slobhan is banished from Cranbaile and decides to accompany Verm as a result. Slobhan is the brains of the party, being the one who makes useful insights and also able to figure out godly instruments. Slobhans arc is one about finding her own way in life. Her mother strictly follows the “old way” which forbids interaction with the godly world above entirely. Verms mission to take down the yellow god is in direct conflict with that. Slobhan slowly gains confidence and goes from being a follower, to someone fully capable of taking care of herself. She both learns from and helps Verm by being constantly in his corner. She’s forced to leave home but ultimately what home can truly be. She’s one of the more in-depth characters since we spend as much with her as we do Verm.

The next party member to talk about is Bruce, Bruce is a Scottish red squirrel that the party encounters outside the city of Murida. Bruce is initially pretty sketchy. He’s a bard who wears a mask and doesn’t talk much about himself. He gets Verm and Slobhans help to enter the city and doesn’t tell them about the octopus in the way. Bruce is a weird character at first. Being the bard of the party means he focuses on giving buffs. He also doesn’t care for violence to the extent to where he doesn’t even have an actual offensive attack for the first half of the game. Bruces shifty nature stems from the fact that he is a red squirrel, which is a rare sight in Rodentia. Bruces initial goal is the reach the city of Sky Garden and claim a family heirloom from the grey squirrels that reside there. The greys and reds don’t get along and necessitate Bruce hiding who he is. This is a real life thing too. The grey squirrels we see everywhere in America are an invasive species in Britain which drove the red squirrel population into decline. Eventually Bruce gets found out and thrown into prison where he meets Gwen(more on her in a bit). With Gwens help, he escapes and meets back up with Verm and Slobhan. The party later return to Sky Garden to depose its dictator with Bruce later forming a council to govern it. Bruce accepts who he is and this gets represented in game when he ditches the harlequin outfit and mask that he’d been wearing up to that point. Bruce also has a partner who’s very supportive of him and he does everything he can to keep them safe. Especially after the Sky Garden performance goes sourly. He’s one of the best and earliest examples of acceptance and perseverance we seen.

The final party member is Gwen, a rat who wields a scalpel like a glaive. Gwen is initially referred to as a “dragon” and is kept in the Sky Garden dungeon until meeting Bruce. The two later escape and Gwen joins the party in defeating the grey squirrels in charge. There’s not as much to say about Gwen as her backstory is mostly late game stuff. The big point with Gwen was that she grew up in a contained community in a lab. Later on, Gwen left seeking to live her own life in her own way. It’s an interesting contrast with Slobhan who was forced to leave home. Gwen does get a chance for some closure later. Even though there isn’t as much to Gwen, the theme of acceptance is very prevalent, as Gwen accepts herself even though her former community did not.

I said before that Small Saga is about acceptance and learning to cope with grief. Verm comes to accept how foolish his quest is and how angry he’s been as he copes with the loss of his brother. Slobhan accepts that she has to walk her own path and find something new after being driven out by the very people she tried to help. She copes with losing one home by gaining another. Bruce learns to accept who he is and that sometimes violence is necessary for change. He embraces his heritage and reclaims the home he never knew in honor of a people that lost it long ago. Gwen accepts who she is and eventually comes to face to face with the very being who’s responsible for the grief Gwen was put through in her former community. It’s pretty well done and these characters really grew on me despite how short the game is. It really is a gem and I do recommend checking it out for yourselves as there is a lot I didn’t mention, like Verms encounter with his childhood hero. Small Saga can be found on Nintendo Switch and Steam for $19.99.

Thank you to everyone who read this and made it this far. This is an attempt to do more with this blog and I’ve been wanting to do essay type posts for a while. Be sure to let me know y’alls thoughts and what I can work on in the comments. Special thanks to Gaming Furever co-owner Joshua Wyld for trusting me with the Switch copy of Small Saga which I used for my review on GF and referenced again for this. Be sure to follow GF on your favorite social media platform. If you like what you read here, I have more plans for this space so keep on my own socials. Thank you so much and I’ll catch y’all next time.

Summer Vibes – The Blog is Still Here

Howdy! Feels like its been a while hasn’t it? Yeah I don’t write on here nearly enough. But hello! Welcome! Time for the quarterly blog post heh.

Firstly, life has been busy. On top of preparing for a future move, I’ve also been involved in my local Church. In fact we have our Vacation Bible School next week and it’s going to be a good time, both for us volunteers and hopefully the kids. Beyond that, what else is there to talk about? Not much…life continues to surprise me in some new ways and I continue to move forward. So let’s talk about some different things.

Let’s start with Gaming Furever. Yes, I am still writing for them and in fact have a very ambitious project in the works for the site currently. Excited to share more about that when the time comes. Other than that, on my end it’s mostly finding relevant news and other relevant topics to write about. As time progresses, I get further behind and less able to play the latest games. Fortunately my wonderful colleagues are more than up to it, so I just have to find other ways to contribute. Speaking of Gaming Furever, the site also recently got an overhaul. Thanks to Daxel, it’s now running on a WordPress client! Yes, it’s running on the same client you’re reading this blog post on. And frankly, I think it looks so much better. There are still a few things to clean up behind the scenes, but the new Gaming Furever website looks a lot more professional. I recommend checking it out and letting us know your thoughts over there!

Next, Dragon Storm. Into The Stormlands is still ongoing and in fact, I had a new BTS post go live over there. So where are we at in that story? Well, recently, I started posting parts from Chapter 11. Currently the party is in the city of Sintella where a LOT happened. Trying to keep everything concise is the real challenge as I review my notes and continue typing. But where we are currently is in a granary, where the party is getting ready to have quite the encounter, so stay tuned. For those wanting to catch up, or wanting to see the entirety of what’s currently published, you can find that on Wattpad or my personal website. I already shared that on the Facebook page itself but I figured I might as well bring it up here as well. There’s still a lot more story to tell too and we’re a ways off from being done in Sintella. I thank each and every one of you who’s taken the time to read even a little of it. It means a lot.

That’s the two biggest things. At this time, I don’t have too much more to share. I’m still getting by and still have a lot to do. But life hasn’t been bad. Thank you all for reading this and I hope y’all have had a lovely summer so far! I’ll see y’all around.

Cozy Winter Writing Vibes and updates

Hello everyone!

How are you all doing? Staying safe and warm in whichever part of the world you happen to live in I hope. As for me, well, I’m endeavoring to keep busy. There’s been a lot on my mind lately and a lot of things going on in life. I don’t want to go into any details right now, just a lot of personal stuff as I navigate newly renewed faith in Christ and consider the future. Speaking of the future! I’ve been thinking on and considering what sorts of things I want to work on and do this year. That list keeps getting bigger but I’m hoping to check some things off. Which includes doing more with this space.

Incidentally, I should to do a quick introduction as its a new year and there might be new people here. If you are new here, welcome! I’m Brandon Billingsley, a 30 year old who does woodworking, game reviews and fiction writing. I’m also a Christian who enjoys playing games, listening to music, helping people and watching Tokusatsu(If you’re unfamiliar, think Power Rangers type shows). If you’re at all interested in seeing the type of work I’ve done, I’ve got a website where you can find examples and links to everything else. At the very least, I thank you for dropping by!

Which brings me to said work. First Gaming Furever, where my reviews get published. I did very recently finish up a review for the Paper Mario like Escape From Ever After and I’ll have another review done soon. But the main point is there might be a slight shift in that work going forward. Obviously being confined to a simple laptop and a Nintendo Switch 1 limits what games I can actually review these days. After discussing it with my colleagues a bit, I’m going to focus more on the news type articles(trailers, kickstarters, Directs etc) as they do need more of that. Speaking of video games, I’m also on a site called Backloggd, where you can see all the games I’ve played and reviewed(both on GF and off). Check it out if you want.

Finally, the fiction writing portion. I’ll keep this short. Into the Storm continues to proceed apace. New posts go up every Monday/Wednesday/Friday with the odd skip here and there. There are presently 8 complete chapters and a 9th one in the works. You can keep up with all of that and a little Behind the Scenes on the Facebook page. Check it out if you like fantasy. There’s a full version on my website with the first 7 chapters. I plan to update that and the Wattpad page in the coming weeks. In addition, I’ve also begun work on a completely original story that’s being frame as a pirate themed murder mystery. I’m very excited for that so stay on the lookout for more details in the future.

So let’s see, I covered all the writing stuff and reintroduced myself…I think that about covers it. There isn’t much to talk about in regards to the Woodworking(yet) but expect updates regarding that in the future as well. Again, thanks for dropping by and I appreciate every read I get. I’ll post further updates and more behind the scenes stuff as things progress along. For now though, peace and God bless! I’ll see y’all next time.

Giving Thanks🙏🦃

Howdy! It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? Don’t worry, I won’t take up too much of y’all’s time. I just wanted to do a quick update post. Firstly, my creative endeavors. Into the Stormlands is still going strong. I regularly update the Facebook page with bios, trivia and story pieces. If you want to read the full thing(at least as much of it is actually complete) you can find the finished first 7 chapters on my website. I might actually share a bit more about it in a later post as things have changed a bit. But for now, it’s not going anywhere. The Wattpad still exists but I need to update it with the newest material(coming soon).

Speaking of writing, I still do reviews and help cover the latest gaming news at Gaming Furever. My latest work was coverage on Pokémon Legends Z-A, so check over there for my review as well as look at the upcoming DLC. I actually plan to dive deeper into my Gaming Furever work in a later series of posts so keep an eye out for that.

All that, to bring me to the biggest point of this post: Giving Thanks. I’ve had a lot to think about and reflect on in recent times. From truly finding and embracing my faith to encounters and interactions with all sorts of people. A couple of weeks ago, I was at a convention called Meeple-A-Thon and it was a wonderful time. I got to see some pretty cool board games and meet some awesome people. I’ll remember it fondly for the rest of my days. And it’s also made me think about other conventions I’ve been to, other memories and people that I’m very grateful for. Being grateful for family, friends and other blessings in your life is really what this time of year should be about. Most of 2025 is behind us now and as we move forward into final days before 2026, there’s a lot to look back on.

All that to say: Thank you. To anyone who actually takes the time to read this or my work on GF or the Stormlands fb page or whatever, thank you. I know I’m terrible at keeping things updated but I truly appreciate the readership or if we’ve met in person, any time we’ve shared. As I prepare for a family filled Thanksgiving, I hope y’all take the time to reflect on things you’re grateful for. Happy Thanksgiving if you celebrate and I’ll catch you next time.

September is here!

It feels like Summer just breezed right on by didn’t it? So much has happened and so much still to come. At any rate, I figure it’s time to stop and smell the flowers while they’re still in bloom. The Farmer’s Market season has come to an end for me which means I now have more time to dedicate to things that I need to do. It won’t be the last time I’m a vendor at an event though, as I signed up for one happening in October. More details to come soon over on the Facebook page and speaking of, I’ll also be at Meeple A-Thon 2025 in November so exciting things still happening!

But what about everything else? Well, I did recently update my personal website a bit. The first 5 chapters of the DragonStorm story are over there with chapter 6 on the way and being slowly published on Facebook. I’ve also been doing more work for GF and watching the site grow bigger has been fun and cool to see. My most recent reviews are Dragon Detective: A Friend From the Shadows(An Ace Attorney like visual novel) and Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar. Both on Switch and both were review copies specifically given for that purpose. I’ll talk more about them when I get around to the Behind the Scenes posts but it’s been really cool that lately I’ve been able to get review copies and experience these games. It’s good way to for me to share something that I legitimately enjoy and I definitely have more in the works on that front.

As for the personal side of things…my detective story remains at the back of my mind and I hope to be able to dedicate more time to it soon. I’m excited to share my own take on the genre. As for life, well, that goes on right? I’m pretty sure I’ve figured out what I want to do. I’ve found some joy in working with kids recently through church programs and the more I think about it, the more I realize I want to try to make a difference in kids lives. I would love to become a teacher but that, I’m discovering, is a long and hard path to walk. Still it’s one I plan to figure out. Who knows? Maybe I’ll be good at it. We’ll find out when we get there. This year has seen me take a lot of chances and I suspect I’ll be taking more. In the meantime, there’s a lot of work to be done.

That’s all I had for today. Just a bit of updating. Stay tuned for more to come and thanks for reading 🙂

Behind The Scenes: Raidou Review

Welcome to a new series where I look back at some of my past work. Quick note: Unlike my formal reviews, I won’t be as restrictive on spoilers here. Todays subject: My recent review of Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army on Gaming Furever. If you haven’t heard of GF, that’s fine. We’re a small gaming site with a particular focus on games with animal elements(Think Donkey Kong and the like). Which brings me to an interesting point: Why Raidou?

One of the most common questions that goes around the GF virtual office is “Is game X furry?” and it’s a fair question to ask. Especially as the definition can get a bit blurry. And for some games, its more obvious than others. In case of Raidou Remastered, while I was leery, it passes because at it’s heart, it’s a creature tamer game. And in this case, the creatures definitely include some that are more animal inspired like Inugami and Neko Shogun. Another fact that helps it out is Gouto, the mysterious black cat who accompanies Raidou and offers advice. There’s enough to justify it’s inclusion.

As I prefaced the beginning of my review with, I’ve never played an Atlus game before. I’ve been well aware of the Persona series but I never got around to getting a copy of one. And I knew that Atlus games are usually well regarded in terms of story and characters. I think what drew me to Raidou the most however, was the fact that he was a detective(Or at least worked as one). I’ve been very into detective stories lately as we’ll see in some later posts in this particular series. And the idea of uncovering a supernatural conspiracy in a fictionized version of Japan was pretty appealing. Suffice to say, I was thoroughly intrigued since seeing it showcased as part of one of Nintendo’s directs.

I’ll admit that going into it, I wasn’t expecting the gameplay to be action oriented, I had actually expected something more turn based but the action gameplay worked in Raidou’s favor and kept me thoroughly engaged. Between that and the story which handled its premise pretty well, I found Raidou to be very enjoyable. Speaking of the story, the intrigue surrounding characters like Rasputin and the Daidōji family kept me wondering what was going on. Granted the game is pretty straightforward in giving out the answers rather than asking players to piece things together, but I thought that was fine. Having previously enjoyed visual novels like Ace Attorney, I didn’t that story approach as much as some.

In fact, Raidou is kind of like an interactive book now that I think about it. In between capturing demons and exploring the Dark Realm, we’re treated to a story revolving around supernatural occurrences in a fictional Japan. The setting incidentally, was another plus for me. I love Japanese folklore and getting to visit even a fictional version of the country is a treat for me. Plus I enjoyed researching the real world lore behind some of the games “demons”. Did you know that Inugami(an early game demon) is based on actual superstition involving possession by a dog spirit? I’m not going to go into the details but there’s some fascinating stuff behind the creatures in Raidou Remastered. Quick note: A lot of it isn’t kid friendly so be warned if you research it yourself.

Anyway, I enjoyed my time with Raidou and I’m glad I got it. For my first ever Atlus game, it was a fun time and makes me a bit more curious about the Shin Megami Tensei franchise as a whole. Anyways, thanks for reading and if you want to read my review of Raidou Remastered for Switch, you can find it here. Have a good one! See ya next time 🙂

July Updates🎆

Happy July y’all! Hope you’ve been having a good summer so far!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything on here, so I figure it’s time to update and talk about what’s been going on in my life. It’s been hectic, having to balance all the hats I wear. Between selling stuff, my ongoing efforts at writing and my recent decision to start attending church and learn more about the faith. All good things though, and yes, I still do woodworking. In fact I’m still regular at our local Farmer’s Market every Wednesday morning and I’m still lining more events to do while trying to get things made. Needless to say, I’ve been busy.

Ah, speaking of the writing. I’ve got 3 ongoing projects in that regard. The Dragon Storm story is still ongoing and you can still find regular updates on Facebook. Just look up “Into the Stormlands” or look around this blog for links. The first 4 parts of that story are now also up on Wattpad for your reading pleasure if you prefer that. I’ll add to it over there as well as I get more of it written up. If you did look around the blog, you may have noticed the Neon Heroes story that I posted about a while ago. Unfortunately, I haven’t been working on that one as much. With everything else going on, it’s been put on the back burner. A part 2 will happen though and I will hopefully have more to say about that soon. Finally, I started work on a new story that I’m very excited to talk more about in the future. It’s a pirate themed murder mystery, with the victim being killed at port after meeting one of the main characters. That’s all I say on the plot for now. I have to keep a lot of this under wraps but expect to hear more about it soon 🙂

Oh Gaming Furever? Yes I’m still writing for them on the side as well. Like I said, busy. But I’ll save that for a future post as things are happening over there. In the meantime, that’s about everything I think. There isn’t too much I want to discuss at this time but I’m excited to be thinking about the future. There’s good things happening for me, good things happening for my friends. That’s really all I can ask.

Thank you for reading and be sure to follow me on my various socials for the occasional updates. I know I don’t post much outside of sharing various things but I do want to get better about that. There’s a lot of work to be done and I will see y’all next time 😉

Into the Stormlands – Introduction

Howdy! So what’s new? Well, if you recall my last post, I gave a teaser of one of the projects I’ve been working on. Now’s the time to talk about it in more detail. Into the Stormlands is the title of an ongoing story based on campaign my dad is running using the tabletop card/role-playing hybrid game Dragon Storm. Which you’ve probably never heard of and that’s totally fine! So what is Dragon Storm exactly?

Dragon Storm is card based role-playing game that was released in the late 90’s. Set in a medieval fantasy world of magic and monsters, players take on the role of shapeshifters. There are gargoyles, werewolves, dragons, unicorns and more as options. The character I picked and whom the story follows is Hendriks Silverclaw, a human werewolf who has yet to discover his lycanthropic powers. His mission is to locate a shaman who is said to live in the city of Sintella far to the south. But journeying through the Stormlands is a dangerous ordeal so naturally he needs help. This is where my party members will come in. Of course, we haven’t met them yet.

So a bit about Hendriks: His dad was in the military prior to retirement and settling with a woman in a small northern village. Hendriks grew up learning how to hunt and fish but decided he didn’t want to follow in dads footsteps and became a mage. So he sought tutorage under the village witch, Ms Winterfell, who taught him the basics of witchcraft and a little wizardry. His mentor sadly passed but not before asking him to journey south in search of the Sintella Shaman. He was given a special runed staff, some basic rations and payment for adventurers that he could find to help him. And so our story begins.

Interested? You can follow along with the story as I release pieces of it on this Facebook page. Eventually, full chapters and hopefully the completed story will also be released. Join along if you like! I plan on posting new bits every Monday/Wednesday/Friday. In fact, that teaser is already posted and up. Hope y’all enjoy and I’ll see ya around. There’s more still to come 😉

Halloween is upon us. Updates and more

Ah I love the smell of fresh pumpkin. If there’s one thing I like the most about Fall time, its the return of Pumpkin Spice coffee. Anyways, I know. Been a while since I posted anything here but hey the site still exists and I do actually have things to share! So lets talk about them.

I’ll keep the woodworking talk to a minimum but yes, still going on albeit a bit more slowly. Since last time I wrote on here, I have since gotten a space set up and most of the way ready for work and I do actually have upcoming events I’ll be vending at. Its good to keep busy. Be sure to check my socials for updates on that stuff as well as the website https://bbswoodshop.weebly.com/ which I’ll update with new dates.

Now on to other things, I have been doing more writing for GamingFurever! Yes, I actually have been enjoying doing this sort of freelance gaming journalism and its been really cool to write about different things on there and read what my colleagues are up to. As of now, the most recent thing I’ve done for them is a write up on a Kickstarter for an upcoming digital version of a TCG. But I will continue to do more work for them when I can and will share on my socials when something is published.

Speaking of publishing, this brings me to my final bit of news: I have something exciting to share. First a little background: Back in 2020 when things were shutting down, me and some friends online decided engage in a sort of role-playing story. It involved our own characters and super hero stuff, it was pretty cool. These days, we don’t do as much of that and in fact we’ve all become pretty busy. However! I decided in my free time to revisit that and adapt it into a more story-like format. My friends all loved it and I’m very excited to share the first chapter of that until now unseen story we created so long ago. Presenting Chapter 1 of the Neon Heroes storyline – Big Trouble in Little Neon! It was a bit of a challenge to do since its the very beginning and we didn’t know what we were doing but I enjoyed it and stay tuned for more, its only the beginning 😉

Finally, I do have other projects I’m trying to work on as well. Cool stuff not related to Neon or anything else I’ve done. One of which will be upcoming serial on a new campaign I’ve started for a card game called Dragon Storm! This also features friends and my own dad has been acting as the GM for it. Its been a lot of fun and I look forward to sharing that story sometime too. For now, I leave you with a teaser and thank you so much for reading. Cheers!

Dust swirled as the winds swept the land. A storm was coming…soon it would be upon all and none would be safe. A lone traveler departs in search of a solution to his village’s problem at behest of his teacher. The son of a prestigious general, he chose instead to study the arts of magic. Taught the basis of Witchcraft and wizardry by his mentor Ms Winterfell, she unfortunately perished before he could finish his training. And so, he has been tasked with finding a shaman who can help his village in the troubles to come. This shaman is said to be in distant Sintella far to the south, so the traveler visits Zantica along the way seeking help….

Into Summer We Go!

Happy June! Its been a hot minute since I posted on here huh? Seems to be the case a lot. Alright, time for updates! Firstly, I moved! Yay. That process was…a process. Frankly its not even over yet but the worst of it has long past and I’m settled into the new place. During that process however, I did start working on some better habits and doing the things that I want to do and that I enjoy. Which means a lot more writing, yes I’ve actually been doing a fair bit although on different projects.

One of which being my gaming reviews and other work I’ve been doing for a furry gaming site called GamingFurever! I mentioned it in a previous post as I had a review of the latest Pokemon games on there. Now I’m part of the staff and actively doing volunteer work as they strive to grow their community. For my part, I mainly do reviews and reports on whats currently on sale with a few misc things here and there. You can find my work and that of the other talented writers here

Its been very fulfilling and I’ve enjoyed getting to do this. And I hope do more as time goes on! Now what about the creative stuff? Thats happening too. In fact, the first part of a three part short story I’ve been working on on the side is up on Wattpad now

If it asks you make an account, you can skip that. You do not need one to read my work on there(I tested it first). Parts 2 and 3 coming soon. After that? Well, we’ll cross that dusty bridge when we get there. Finally as my woodworking side hustle, its slowed down a bit but its starting to pick back up again as summer rolls around and I have some events lined up with more coming! You can check that out here. Bottom line? I’ve been busy as usual. All of this is on top of doing renovations in the new home and keeping up with my normal day-to-day life stuff. Its been a lot but I’m managing. Heres to a good and productive summer!
