Reasons why 'Riverdale' should be your next Netflix binge

Image
So, season 2 of Riverdale has just aired its final episode. But don't get your snakes in a twist, season 3 is only a short wait away, expected for release this October 2018. Despite its popularity, I hear there are still people not obsessing over this show, but here are some reasons that should change your mind (without revealing spoilers).   1. What is this show even about?  -What is it not about? It has murder, mysteries, gangs, and meddling teenagers. It's basically scooby-doo but for adults (and there's even a dog! His name is Vegas).  2. Fun fact!  -Riverdale is based on a set of comics called "Archie Comics" which is the same comics that Sabrina the Teenage Witch is written by. Greendale (where Sabrina lives) is referenced a few times on the show, as it is just a town over. A crossover is definitely now possible since Netflix is rebooting our favourite Witch for a rumored 2019 release.  3. If the actors aren't enough...

The pros and cons of self-publishing

If you haven't already, before starting your writing journey, you should accept that it's nearly impossible to make a living off your writing. In traditional publishing, the author will only make a few pennies off each book sold, and even though self-publishing gives a generous 70% of royalties to the author, it means you will have to sacrifice the time to advertise if you want to see those sales.

Since I have just been through the experience of publishing my first book through Amazon, I thought I should talk about it. If you are considering doing the same, here are the pros and cons of self-publishing...

Questions I have after watching 'A Quiet Place'

Image
'A Quiet Place' is the latest horror storming through cinemas. Within five days of being released, it has already gained a 97% Rotten Tomatoes rating and has been widely supported by critics. Featuring stars Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, a real-life married couple, fighting to protect their children against the new top predator. It takes place about three months after this apocalypse began, to set the tone and introduce the rules they follow- to be absolutely quiet. The characters communicate through sign language and have adapted ways to survive this new world. To sum up, this movie is a masterpiece and you absolutely must see it, but be warned- don't bring any noisy snacks. After recently watching this movie and accepting my new obsession, I have some unanswered questions- these include the movie itself and if this situation was ever inflicted upon us in real life. (SPOILERS AHEAD. You have been warned).    1. Where did these creatures come from? Are the...
