The Manifesto of Steven L. Drake

Remember the sacrifice, and the struggle that emancipated the dream. Never forget those ten cold years, or where you came from. Check your ego at the door, so to keep the vision clear. Accept constructive criticism to perfect the craft, but never stop fighting 'til the art is made flesh. Be true to your soul, and no longer deny the whispers of your ghost. Trust in instinct if faith goes dark. Let the voices guide you when the light leaves. Do not allow fear to blind, cripple, or deafen you. Nobody knows you like yourself. What are you waiting for?

Book Club


I recently re-joined my book club, and I am very excited because they are a wonderfully diverse group of people with a lot different styles; thus, without them, I would've probably never read a lot of great books, including Twilight. In this section, I'll post what book we're reading for the month, as well as the books I am reading for the 100 books in a year challenge!
