Somtimes bear climbs you.

I do not believe in the bear. I will not believe in the bear. The bear does not see me.

The bear passes me without notice. I will not believe in the bear…

IMG_7570

I AM the bear.

IMG_7547

Screw bears. The laptop is MY nemesis.

Brain Empty (Reblog)

2015 update: I wrote this day after I finished Broken Blade and it’s hardly worth porting over, but there it is.

I’m done with the first book in the Chronicles of Aral Kingslayer and it’s left me completely wrung and kind of empty feeling. Not my normal pattern with a book. My head feels like there’s been a fire inside that just burned the whole thing hollow.

Friday Cat Blogging—Moar Bear Edition

Sometimes when you look into the bear, the bear looks back into you.

IMG_7510

Nope. Nope. Not a bear. I refuse to believe in it, therefor it doesn’t exist.

IMG_7521

Yeah, that’s not working for me.

IMG_7523

I hate you, soooo much, camera dude.

IMG_7515
