"It's like... everywhere you go has a little impact on you. I want to have a little impact everywhere I go too." She brushed a few strands of hair from her forehead and straightened up. A green ribbon fluttered where she'd tied it to the bus stop bench. She smiled at it softly, then she... Continue Reading →
Embrace the Sun
Last week was difficult for me. For a while, I would try to start working on something, then feel suddenly sick and stop. I had all of these feeling inhibiting me and nowhere to put them. Until I started writing. (Go figure.) This short fiction is pretty obviously highly allegorical (and also half inspired by... Continue Reading →
“More Than a Blank Page” Short Story

I just never much got into it and I certainly never wrote it. The biggest reason for that, though,... Continue Reading →

The editing process is scary because I know I'm going to have to take crap and make it coherent. Not to mention, it involves much more critical thinking than... Continue Reading →
Coming Out (as an author)
April is over and so is my excuse that I was too busy with other writing projects to blog. Not that I'm stopping all writing projects. In fact, with the onset of summer, I hope to shift this blog from failed attempts at depth to something more practical for an aspiring author. Not that more... Continue Reading →
