Summer is coming up and it’s time for what may be the biggest monthly agenda in a long while.

A lot of good news to share this time around. First off, another chapter for Rise of the Adept has been finished. This was a chapter really holding me back from continuing the story, so now that it’s done, I can edit what I had written ahead to reflect the changes made and get back on track this month. Editing is almost done and I hope to get through this next chapter as soon as possible.

Next, my backlog of movies for Gettin’ Real with the Reels has been caught up with. I recorded six episodes over a single day and had them uploaded online for everyone over the course of a week. I’m very pleased to see how that turned out and am going to try to find out what to watch next to keep the progress flowing.

That’s all I’ve got to report on for this month.

Until next time.

May is here so it’s time for another monthly agenda.

Progress on the current chapter for Rise of the Adept continues at a steady pace. I’m confident that if I can get in a day or two of writing where I’m completely focused on that chapter, I’ll be able to finish the chapter and get back to where I was before. Finding that time is difficult with how busy my schedule tends to be but I hope that I can find that time with this month, and if not then, the next month.

But for good news, Gettin’ Real with the Reels has started its next “season” and is stronger than ever before. I have a few more episodes on my backlog to record and hope to get those out to everyone soon so be on the lookout for that.

A shorter update for this month but that’s all I have to say.

Until next time.

No April Fool’s jokes here, just another monthly agenda.

Starting off with baddish news, but there’s been a delay for Rise of the Adept. While writing the new chapter, I realized that some of the content would be best be used earlier in the story rather than be glossed over where it was now. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a good place to slide the new content into a written chapter, meaning that I had to write a new chapter altogether. Although this does count as a delay, it helps to make the story better in my opinion.

Gettin’ Real with the Reels is going to make its return this month. The delay was because the Best Picture winner wasn’t a movie that I saw during the Best Picture showcase I went to, meaning I had to find time to watch it at home. That’s been taken care of and I hope to have a couple of episodes out this month.

Looking forward to what comes next.

Until next time.

March is here, meaning it’s time for a new monthly agenda.

I’m pleased to report that the changes to my new writing schedule are a huge success. The next chapter of Rise of the Adept is almost finished. Had February had a few extra days in it, I likely would have been able to finish that chapter. I’m expecting to finish it early this month and to be able to move onto the next chapter as soon as possible.

Gettin’ Real With the Reels will resume this month. I have one more episode planned before the Academy Awards and have already bought my ticket for the Best Picture showcase to prepare to review some of the Best Picture candidates. I’m very excited for what’s to come with Gettin’ Real with the Reels.

That’s all there is to report on for this month.

Until next time.

February is here and it’s time for another monthly agenda.

Let’s start off with some good news. I’ve recently made some changes to my schedule, giving me more time to focus on Rise of the Adept. Thanks to these changes, I’m pleased to announce that another chapter for Rise of the Adept has been finished. Time will tell if these changes will really help me make more progress on my story but I have a good feeling about it as of now.

Due to the changes in schedule, I hadn’t been able to find a good time to catch up on Gettin’ Real with the Reels but and hoping to get on that later this month. Additionally, I’m currently planning when to review the Best Picture nominees for 2026, which has also impacted the release schedule for Gettin’ Real with the Reels. More details on that will be coming with upcoming episodes.

Until next time.

It’s time to welcome the new year in with another monthly agenda.

Progress on Rise of the Adept continues as planned. Still taking longer than I expected with the current chapter but am still doing what I can to get it written. I’m hoping to make significant progress this month.

Gettin’ Real with the Reels continues on as normal. I’m looking forward to finding time to get more recordings done to upload online.

I’m expecting to start a new semester of classes sometime soon, so please be patient with me as that will likely disrupt progress made on my various projects.

Looking forward to making 2026 a great year!

Until next time.

The year is almost over, and to wrap things up, it’s time for another monthly agenda.

So, like before, I hadn’t considered how busy I would be between wrapping up classes and celebrating Thanksgiving with the family. As such, I wasn’t able to meet a lot of my expected goals. I won’t say I’ll be able to make them this month given, again, classes and the holidays, but I’m going to try.

Progress on Rise of the Adept continues at a consistent pace. I’m still working on the current chapter but have high hopes to see where it goes.

The technical difficulties I encountered regarding Gettin’ Real with the Reels has been resolved. I’m hoping to find time to get more recordings out soon enough.

Looking forward to 2026.

Until next time.

We’re reaching the end of the year and it’s time for another monthly agenda.

Significant progress is being made for Rise of the Adept. While the current chapter I’m working on isn’t finished yet, I’m almost done writing it. To give myself some time to work with it, I’d say it’ll be finished before the end of the year but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if I finished it before the end of the month.

Regarding Gettin’ Real with the Reels, I have ran into an unexpected problem regarding the production side of things. I will need to address this issue before recording can continuing so progress on new episodes may stall. I hope to have this issue solved before the end of the month.

That’s all there is to report on for this time.

Until next time.

There’s only a couple of months left as we enter October, meaning it’s time for another monthly agenda.

Progress on Rise of the Adept has slowed down a little bit. September was more busy than I imagined but I hope to have free time in the coming weeks to really focus on the current chapter. I’m very excited to see how it turns out and I really want to get it written to find out.

Gettin’ Real with the Reels continues at its typical pace. I’m hoping with more free time, I’ll be able to catch more movies while they’re in theaters, meaning that I can record more episode. Only time will tell if this works out as well as I hope it does.

That’s all there is for this time.

Until next time.

It’s September and that means it’s time for a new monthly agenda.

So, when I made last month’s agenda, I didn’t consider that the fall semester for classes was starting. Schoolwork is my priority, and while I tried my best to keep up with my other projects, some things may have fallen behind. Fortunately, I continue to adjust to my schedule and should get back into the habit of writing and recording epsiodes.

Rise of the Adept continues at a slow pace. I’m very excited for this chapter, and I hope once I get through the first few pages, I’ll be able to hit my writing stride and get through this chapter before too much time passes.

It took me longer than I would have wanted but Gettin’ with the Reals is back. I was delayed in recording the newest episode due to allergies but have since adjusted to that. It’s just a matter of continuing to find free time to record podcasts. Looking forward to catching up with the movies I fell behind on.

That’s all there is to this month’s agenda.

Until next time.
