    World building across the fantasy genre

    Hey guys! So with the new Stephen King book Fairy Tale that was released on September 6, 2022 it got me to thinking about the concept of world building in the fantasy genre. I’m only about halfway through Fairy Tale, but I can tell you that this novel is different than any other novel that…

    Paying homage vs Stealing: The Elvis Presley story

    So, a few days ago I noticed that HBO Max started streaming the new Elvis biopic featuring Austin Butler as Elvis, Tom Hanks as Colonel Tom Parker and directed and produced by Baz Luhrman.

  • Mulan: A New Vision

    Yes, we all love the cartoon version with Mushu and the cricket. I mean who doesn’t love Mushu? But there is something to be said for a refreshing new take on a Disney classic. Of course, we all know that Disney has been on a remake frenzy lately, turning all of their classic cartoon movies…

    PSA Announcement: First book

    I did it! I finally swallowed all of my nerves and did it. Did what, you may ask? I delved into the world of self-publishing. So, I have been sitting on my poetry book for two years because there was a lot going through my mind. At first it was just going to be a…

    Angie Thomas and Urban Fiction

    Angie Thomas made a splash in the YA novel scene with her breakout novel, The Hate U Give, which became a hit movie just one year later and Thomas has sky rocketed to my list of must-read authors in the last couple of years. The Hate U Give centers around Starr, who is a 16-year-old…

  • “Art is magic”

    I was scrolling through Facebook like I normally do and one day I came across this meme on my newsfeed, and I couldn’t agree more with this statement. Art IS magic. That’s why I have this blog, and it’s the reason I love art. I love all types of art…literature, music, dance, visual art. Like…

  • Separating art and life

    So this is something that I’ve always thought about. Can we possibly celebrate an artist’s talent and forget about his crimes? One of the most talented musicians to ever do it is R. Kelly. People may not like him because of the crimes he’s committed or the allegations of him messing with young girls, but…

    ‘Til this day the movie Selena is one of my favorite movies. I remember the very first time I watched it was in my Spanish class in high school, and I fell in love. Not only with the movie but with the kind of person that Selena was. Selena tells the story of the Mexican-American…
