Hullo, world! It’s October, meaning all the leaves light up like illuminations, then promptly fall within a week. Alas, such is autumn in Canada. Today, I’m back for my monthly installation of Author Health. So far we’ve looked at the importance of family and authors, and discussed a little about my rather chaotic life as… Continue reading Author Health: 5 Self Care I Like to Do
Hullo, world! I must convey to you how happy I am to be writing this post. In the month I took a rest from blogging, I realised just how much I missed it.

Hullo, world! I am still under the weather, but I am out of bed, which is what counts! Despite the grey and oppressive sky we are under, there are still things to be thankful for.

Hullo, world! Only three more days until my blogiversary...I am counting down the days. We had a few days of sunshine, and now it’s back to the thick grey clouds and dripping rain. Oh, well.

(Good old PCR machine...I really wanted to see a medical size one!) Thankfully, I did not have COVID 19. It was just a flu.… Continue reading 7 Japanese Authors I Love

Good afternoon! (Or, late afternoon.) Welcome to S. J.’s monthly tea party! Today, we have a theme for our tea party: Movies! We’ll sit down in a sitting room, and we’ll have desserts and herbal tea as we chat about movies, both the good ones and the bad ones!

Hullo, World! Today I’ll be writing to conclude the mini series, Love, Author. With everything shut down (even the library!), I didn’t have to go anywhere in a rush or have to balance school work with my millions of activities (research, karate, music school, etc.).
