Review: Introverts Web Series

First and foremost, I'm  beyond excited about the "Introverts Web Series," By Rachel Tucker. On August 21, 2014, the Introverts Web Series was completely funded for a season 2, which gives us six more episodes. So far, I've  fallen in love with all four episodes: The Party The Meet Cute The Pizza The Extrovert For a moment, I thought someone had stolen my entire identity and plastered it on the web. The Pizza episode has my name written all over it. Indecisive. My favorite part was the backup plan for the pizza toppings. I relate all too well. A typical night with a friend always leaves that one big question: Where on earth should we eat? Me: “I'm starting to feel the hunger creep on.” Friend: “I was just thinking the same thing.” Me: “Want to eat Chinese?” Friend: “Sure. Oooh, those burritos smell good.” Me: “My stomach just turned to Ivar’s. Nothing like seafood.” Friend: “O-M-G, let’s eat Chipotle.” Me: “If that’s what you want, ...

Historical Fiction, Science Fiction & Poetry: A look into my world of literature

Before I fell in love with Paranormal Romance, I had a previous list of genres that I’m still particularly fond of. When I first started reading, I couldn't get enough of Historical Fiction. Books like “The Great Gatsby,” “Pride and Prejudice,” “Little Women,” “Jane Eyre” and “The First Man in Rome,” took me from the present and positioned me in the past willingly. Historical Fiction entails a deep connection with the past. Furthermore, I'm also deeply drawn to: Fantasy Humor Mythology Poetry Science Fiction Historical Fiction Historical Romance Short Stories Washington Irving , one of my favorite authors, wrote Science Fiction and Fantasy Books. He was featured in “Future Perfect: American Science Fiction of the Nineteenth Century.” Irving’s most profound writings are “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” and “Rip Van Winkle.” Before I continue further into other authors, A History of New York , by Washington Irving, is a profound piece of literature. With...

INFJ – Personality Type

“The INFJ personality type is very rare, making up less than one percent of the population, but they nonetheless leave their mark on the world. As Diplomats (NF), they have an inborn sense of idealism and morality, but what sets them apart is the accompanying Judging (J) trait – INFJs are not idle dreamers, but people capable of taking concrete steps to realize their goals and make a lasting positive impact,” according to 16 personalities. Dominant: Introverted Intuition (Ni) Auxiliary: Extraverted Feeling (Fe) Tertiary:  Introverted Thinking (Ti) Inferior:  Extraverted Sensing (Se) I – Introversion  preferred to extraversion: INFJs tend to be quiet and reserved. They generally prefer interacting with a few close friends rather than a wide circle of acquaintances, and they  expend  energy in social situations (whereas extraverts gain energy). N – Intuition  preferred to sensing: INFJs tend to be more abstract than concrete. They focus on ...

Acheron - Sherrilyn Kenyon, Book Review

“Acheron” is one of my favorite books from the Dark-Hunter Series. Acheron ‘Apostolos’ Parthenopaeus, God of Final Fate, is the son of Archon and Apollymi the Destroyer. Being cursed from the moment he was born, Acheron was cursed by his half-sisters the Fates. “Apostolos, the cursed son of Apollymi, will be the one who destroys all Atlantean Gods,” Sherrilyn Kenyon, Acheron.  Apollymi, a concerned and caring mother, was terrified that the man she loved would kill her son while in her womb. In order to escape Archon, she fled to her birth home Kalosis, where she would be safe. With her niece Basi and her Charonte demons to protect her, Apollymi cut Apostolos out of her stomach. In doing so, she extracted his godhood and placed him into the womb of a pregnant queen to protect Apostolos identity. Unfortunately, Archon being the savage man that he is, trapped Apollymi in Kalosis. There were only two options for Apollymi to escape Kalosis: tell Archon her son’s ...

Paranormal Romance

Paranormal romance is a sub-genre that consist of science-fictional love. I was first introduced to paranormal romance in 2008. I slowly began to explore various authors, such as Sherrilyn Kenyon, in 2010. Simultaneously, I instantly fell in love with Sherrilyn Kenyon’s “Bad Moon Rising,” which consisted of handsome werewolf’s like Fang. I needed and desired inspiration for my very own book. My creative-fiction professor once said, “If you want to be a great writer, read, read and read. That is the only way you can grow and expand your imagination.” For years, I struggled with finding an author I could connect with. A good book is hard to find, especially if it lacks creativity and imagination. I’ve always had an obsession with science, the supernatural world, fantasy and fiction, but I would have never guessed by picking up “Bad Moon Rising,” I would be introduced to a series of Dark-Hunter Novels. Needless to say, I had no idea ‘A Dark-Hunter Novel’ had an entire series. I picked up ...
