The book being referenced here is A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking, by T. Kingfisher. One of the best books I read last year – highly recommend. And yes, there is a semi-sentient sourdough starter named Bob who acts as the main character Mona’s familiar. And yes, he is the best character, alongside the animated… Continue reading Fan Club Woes

Thawing Out
…oh. Hi there. It’s been a while. You know, I came into 2025 thinking, “Oh yeah, I’m gonna totally make up for 2024 and just draw everyday! I’m just gonna produce so much ART.” And, well. That very clearly didn’t happen, judging from the ONE COMIC I drew in January. One. And I’m really not… Continue reading Thawing Out

Open World
I like to call this, Drew Plays an Open World Game for the First Time. It has mostly been me wandering around, wondering where the hell am I and getting subsequently overwhelmed by everything.
Back to Business

Fanfiction Aficionado

Whoops. I’ve always enjoyed fanfiction to a degree, but for some reason these past couple of weeks, it’s been… Continue reading Fanfiction Aficionado
Archiving
Well. Time to get started. I’ll be trawling through the depths of the Wayback Machine and seeing what I can find/save. Just from a cursory run-through, it seems incredibly promising. Especially with the stuff from 2015/2016. The goal is to save as much writing as I can. It’s going to be saved in multiple places,… Continue reading Archiving
