No matter what you write about–a memory, a person, a fact–setting is always important. It defines the character, activates their emotions, and can be depicted in a way that enhances or detracts from the story. Setting has power, and someone who masterfully wields setting can make their story shine. I’ve always had a difficult time […]
It’s been so long since I’ve made one of these–September, I believe–and I think it’s time to start this back up! Over the past couple of months, I’ve been consuming a lot more media that I have been in the last few months as a whole. I’m finding and reading anime and manga that interest […]
After her mother dies in an accident, sixteen-year-old Bree Matthews wants nothing to do with her family memories or childhood home.

A flying demon feeding on human energies. A […]
In the last couple of weeks, I’ve been reading a few books (mostly romantic in nature). I made the decision to set a Goodreads reading goal for this year, so I’ve been working toward that. Let’s get into what I’ve read and how I’ve felt! *All books were read through Amazon Kindle, and all covers […]
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! In lieu of this holiday of love, I’ve found some beautiful romance books that you can find on both Wattpad and Radish Fiction.

So when it comes to writing, you’re either one of two things: a plotter or a pantser. And there are two types of stories: character-driven and plot-driven. The focus in this article is character-driven. I’m a pantser that’s slowly turning into a plotter. When I started writing Not That Bad, I had no idea what […]
Hello, and welcome to 2021! The greeting is a couple of days late, but the sentiment is the same. How has everyone been doing? Have you all had good holidays? Have you all been safe and practicing social distancing? (Please remember that we’re still in a pandemic and please stay safe, wash hands, and wear […]
When I started writing my novella three years ago (as of now it’s been one year since I completed it), I didn’t know what I was doing. I didn’t have a plot except for one thing: Kaya would fall in love in the story. When I finished writing, I looked over it because I wanted […]
Another month, another entertainment log! September was such a busy month and flew by so fast! I had a hard time keeping track of my current favorites, but here they are.

Princess. Tribute. Sacrifice. Is she the one prophesied to unite two warring Fae courts? Or the one bound to destroy them?
Over a year ago I completed the first, full-length piece of work I’ve done in a long time. It took me two years to write, and it helped me grow. When I first wrote the novella, I was in a place of anger and depression, and when I finished I was was in a place […]
Here’s an edited version of the infamous Kanye West exclamation: “I don’t know about y’all, but Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of the greatest shows of all time!” Now that that’s out of the way and now that Kanye is canceled, let’s continue. One of my favorite shows is Avatar: The Last Airbender (ATLA). […]
Hello, everyone! So, if you haven’t noticed, my website has changed. It’s become an official thing, soon to be laden with all of my writing, book opinions, and media opinions. It will all be under the name Kanna Ree. Now, this probably should have been done earlier in the year (*cough* back in May when […]
Hello everyone! So, this update is a bit earlier than I would like it to be, but there have been some new developments in my personal life that require me to start my planned holiday break almost a month earlier than I wanted (for today’s scheduled post I was going to announce the planned break.).
