I meant to write a full short story for Halloween in honor of a few friends here. Then I fell very sick this week and haven't felt like doing anything more than staring at a wall. The story won't be nearly as effective coming later in the year, but I still intend to finish it.... Continue Reading →
Informational Interview 1/3: Kitty Burroughs
THE POSTERCHILDREN: ORIGINS by Kitty Burroughs, aka quipquipquip Kitty’s Website Kitty’s Patreon TPC on Gumroad TPC on Storenvy The Posterchildren: Origins, or TPC for short, is one of my personal favorites in my bookshelf collection. Written by Kitty Burroughs, the series features super-powered teens working their way through public hero boarding school. It’s available on... Continue Reading →
Snapshot Stories Pt. 2/?
I can't say how many of these there will be. These three snapshots compose the second post in a series I can't put a number to. The first can be read here. Thankfully, these didn't manage to be as depressing as the first set, with #6 perhaps being the exception. These, more for me maybe... Continue Reading →
“That of the Moon” Short Story
So this has nothing to do with D.C. except in that I wrote it on the plane ride here. It is inspired by and dedicated to my good friend, Nick Koontz. Much love goes to him from up here, and I'll be so glad to see him again in December. While I had said half-jokingly... Continue Reading →
The Wretched Redemption of Writing
Writing has incredible healing properties. And it can tear you apart limb from limb. At least my broken hearts can be put to paper, my tears turned to words. At least chaos can turn inspiration, dreams can spin a story. I am happy with being a writer. I love finding creativity everywhere I look as... Continue Reading →
Of Dragons and Men
At night, my blanket is tucked under my legs, the air on full blast. My weapon is in my hands and I find myself fighting dragons. All of my imaginary friends are dragons. I suppose they represent different things. This sounds so silly if you don't appreciate the metaphor. As a writer, I live in... Continue Reading →
Performance is a Passion
(above: my roommate and I at Into the Woods call backs.) I haven't performed in two years. Well, that's not entirely true. I was in a small singing group that did one concert. I was in the chorus of a musical. I had a decent role in a one-act play, but I was dying of... Continue Reading →
Zutara Week 2013 Compilation
Not everyone on my blog may be interested in reading the fanfics I wrote for Zutara Week 2013. Still, I figured it'd be good if I compiled the links to all of them. Of course, I have no rights or claims to the characters, but it is a cool experience to try and get in... Continue Reading →
Couch Potatoes Anonymous
Oh hey! Did y'all know I have an unhealthy addiction to television shows? Well-written ones, mind you. I'd laugh, but it really is a terrible thing for a college student. I have far too many. I watch them when I fix my meals and sit down to eat. If I can't keep up that way... Continue Reading →
Fan Fiction FTW? (Or WTF?)
Let's be completely honest: most fanfiction is complete and utter crap. I'll be completely honest: I'm not big on the genre. I mean, to each their own. You like fan fiction? Great! All power to you. I just never much got into it and I certainly never wrote it. The biggest reason for that, though,... Continue Reading →
