I typed most of this in May of 2019 — where does the time go? *shakes head* I’m having more than a little bit of anxiety — okay, nearly panic at times — because of something Grace told me she’d … Continue reading
“Finder” can no longer be found here… but I’ll still talk about it. A LOT.
(I did mention that I don’t do April Fools’ Day, right? Yeah. So everything in this post is as real as anything in a post on any other day. There will be sarcasm and such, but I won’t lie to … Continue reading
Sometimes, a WIP ties his brain in knots.
[I wrote this months ago, while I was still struggling with expanding the fragment that eventually became the short story “Solitude.” I think the story turned out okay, but I don’t know what readers think of it, because I can’t … Continue reading
