Have you Ever Read Stephen King?

He’s one of the most successful and well-known authors alive, but have you read any of his books? Maybe you have seen a movie adapted from something he wrote. He didn’t just write horror, he wrote the stories behind Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, and Stand by Me.

Quick Thoughts: Twitch Streaming

I made my first attempt at streaming on Twitch back on Sunday afternoon. It was something I had considered for a long time, because, frankly, Twitch is built around streaming, so its streaming tools are far more sophisticated than Facebook’s. My stream was a “Nate Reads the Classics,” wherein I started The Time Machine byContinue reading “Quick Thoughts: Twitch Streaming”

What was your Favorite Book you Read in School?

It may surprise you to know, but I hated reading in school. That is, I did, until I decided to read the Harry Potter books before the release of The Deathly Hallows. After that, I became a reader. There are a couple of exceptions, but most required reading was boring or felt pointless. It makesContinue reading “What was your Favorite Book you Read in School?”

The Publishing World just Changed

After a major announcement from Brandon Sanderson yesterday (which I’m still trying to process), famous booktuber and author Daniel Greene made a response video. If you care about the world of publishing at all, you need to see this video.

What was the First Book you Bought?

Think back as far as you have to go… what was the first book you bought? It could be with your own money or the first book you wanted for a birthday or Christmas. You could comment either one or both on the social media post that lead you here, or in the comments sectionContinue reading “What was the First Book you Bought?”

Video Collection: Live Reading Withered Kingdom

I’m putting more work into my YouTube channel. While my videos are almost totally just the raw livestreams converted to video-on-demand, I am adding thumbnails and collecting them so people can see them easier. I will do my best to update this blog as I do more livestreams.

This Day in Literary History

It is no longer 2’s day, and the day after is already almost over, but I wanted to make a post about some things. I found this site called onthisday.com and am enjoying learning little tidbits about famous births, deaths, and events in history related to the present date. There’s one really big event inContinue reading “This Day in Literary History”

Happy 2’s Day!

This’ll be a short post, but here goes! Happy 2’s day! It’s February 2nd, 2022, which has to be the most 2’s in the date in my or all of our lifetimes. It’s also George Washington’s birthday. He would be… really old if he was still alive.

Music for Writing and Reading

Like a few other people, I depend on having something to listen to in order to write. Listening while reading is less of a big deal for me, but it’s a nice way to feel more enveloped by the experience. I decided I would put together a list of songs, soundtracks, and albums that workContinue reading “Music for Writing and Reading”

Video: From Withered Kingdom Reading Livestream

Another quick update to the blog, here’s the video from me reading out of my book. I had read 2 times before, so this is part 3. I will eventually go back into Facebook, grab the videos of the livestreams, and uploading them to YouTube like I did this one. Without any further ado, hereContinue reading “Video: From Withered Kingdom Reading Livestream”
