New (old) poem of mine. This I found in an unpublished set of posts that I wrote mid-2017. I like it, hope you do too. The Tear I gave you a piece of fabric that you said was beautiful. It wasn't perfect, but that didn't matter. You aimed to make it your dress.… Continue reading The Tear

Mrs. Garland
I'm working on editing "Pigeon House", which came in at just about 35 pages. In the meantime I've started a new story that's a big change of pace--much more introspective and grounded. No other real announcements this week, so I've taken a stab at a 'horror' poem that also serves as a introduction to one… Continue reading Mrs. Garland
Reboot
Woops. 18 months is a lot longer than I meant to go. Let's not get into the stuff that happens over the course of a year, but suffice it to say it's not been conducive to maintaining my writing, that's for sure (either here or elsewhere). I've made it a point to get back into… Continue reading Reboot

So October is behind us, Halloween is over, and November is starting. That means I now have to wait another year to indulge in almost endless horror movies, and it is high time I get back to reading and writing. It also means it's National Novel Writing Month or "NaNoWriMo" as somebody decided to make… Continue reading Alaska
Bottle of Wine
I am at a bad place in my story. Honestly, for about a month I haven't really written anything. The truth is that I have reached a place where I need to go back and edit. I have a lot of work to do but it's not writing work, it's puzzle solving. It's the slow… Continue reading Bottle of Wine
End of Summer
Happy Fall everybody! I haven't posted a poem in a while so I tried writing something tonight. Didn't really know where it was going but I wanted to work on descriptions and this is what I came up with! Let me know your thoughts. A woman sits crosslegged in the sand her arms… Continue reading End of Summer
Inspiration
If you haven't noticed from the lack of production on this blog, I've had some trouble focusing on writing lately. It's hardly suprising I suppose, last weekend I went home to visit my family and the middle of this week was spent celebrating the Fourth of July! I've also had several personal stresses that have… Continue reading Inspiration
Get to work
It's a little embarassing that my last post was "What makes you not write?" and I proceeded not to write for nearly two weeks. What can I say? For me, it is a constant battle between the short-term wants, and the long-term goals. And I am surely not perfect. I don't have much to say… Continue reading Get to work
What makes you write?
I was supposed to write a blog post last week. Unfortunately I got sick and most of the week was spent on the couch. Fortunately, I did get a chance to watch Independence Day: Resurgence and I started a blog post tangent on sequels and storytelling things I learned watching and reading new things. Unfortunately,… Continue reading What makes you write?
Get busy living, or…
I’ve found myself thinking about aging a lot recently, looking back upon my accomplishments and finding myself wanting. It makes me consider whether or not I am living up to the time I have on this Earth and whether I am pursuing a path that I ultimately want to pursue. The most interesting aspect of… Continue reading Get busy living, or…
