Let’s start 2020 out with a bang, hm? Several original manuscripts have been unearthed, nearly crumbling in pieces that were as much dust as they were writing. All had curious notes, observations, and poems scrawled through the margins. In an effort to figure out what this unknown alchemist was trying Continue Reading

Let Your Creativity Lie Fallow for a Season
I mentioned this in my last post, so I want to expand upon it more. There’s this notion that I see in a lot of aspiring and active writers–including myself–that if you’re not using your free time to write, then you’re wasting your time. I like to use the metaphor Continue Reading
100-Word Rule
Or: How I Learned to Set My Own Achievable Writing Goal Two and a half years ago, I had an event completely upend my life in a not very pleasant way, which is something I’ve mentioned a couple times in this space, I realize. That basically meant that the larger Continue Reading
Spring 2019
The spring is the time of year when new shoots push up from beneath the soil, when buds blossom on trees, and the entire earth seems to just exhale with color after winter’s sleep. With all this new coming forth in the world, my own life reflects that this year. Continue Reading
An Unintentional Hiatus
It’s been quite the spell, hasn’t it? I never intended to step away from here for so long, but many unexpected things happen in life that derail the mundanity of everything else. To keep a continuously long and convoluted story short, I lost my mother early in 2017 due to Continue Reading

An Update no.1
It’s been quite a few busy months for me. My day job changed, and I’ve moved to a position where I’m in charge and running the show, which isn’t anything I hadn’t already done before, but I’m in a new place and there’s been a lot of organizing and getting Continue Reading
Enter 2016
And finally the holidays have settled, as has all the traveling and day job stresses they brought about. Now I can breathe a little again. With the start of January came another of the creative challenges I participated in last fall (initially mentioned in this post), and it’s just in Continue Reading
Ever Forward
September was a busy month for writing, which is the good kind of busy. I participated in a creative challenge hosted online by a friend of a friend, with the goal of coming away with a first draft manuscript for the first Wolf’s Eye short stories. I didn’t want to Continue Reading
An Overview
I have realized I’ve talked a bit about the fact that I write, and that I have a lot of projects going—at some point of the process or another—but not much about the projects themselves. While I admit, I can be something of a project and idea magpie, I also Continue Reading
