The last few days have not been kind to me. Oh, the weekend was a blast. Any chance I get to see the wonderful friends I’m now close enough to see more than once a year is a good one. I managed to go to a soccer match for the first time in a long… Continue reading Gone Dark

500 Words On Depression
It sucks. Part of me just wants to repeat those two words 250 times and be done with the subject. But, even though this is my personal webspace, a tiny little corner of the vast Internet, I do try to present my work and my thoughts in a more professional manner than that. If this… Continue reading 500 Words On Depression
Batman v Superman v The Audience
I’ll say this right up front: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice could be good. I know there are people on both sides of the fence, be they touting Nolan’s films and Man of Steel as superior superhero stories to anything Marvel makes, or shaking their metaphorical heads in dismay at the overly verbose and… Continue reading Batman v Superman v The Audience

Too Tired To Write? Is That Even A Thing?
If I am asked, I will say that I work for my current dayjob part-time. And yet, I am often one of the few people remaining in the office at the end of the day. That, or I arrive at the office before anybody else shows up. I’m dedicated to the new office, to making… Continue reading Too Tired To Write? Is That Even A Thing?
Flash Fiction: Convocation
As I struggle to return to a regular writing and blogging schedule, a big part of that routine is writing flash fiction every week, usually as part of the Terribleminds challenge. This week, the goal is to tell a story using a photo, or provide a photo for others to use. Upon seeing this photo… Continue reading Flash Fiction: Convocation
500 Words on Triggers
You’ll see warnings about them on blog posts, Tumblr, and other portions of the Internet. In case you didn’t know, the warnings aren’t there just to be trendy. Triggers are rooted in trauma. Be it trauma that affected a single evening or changed the course of an entire life, such things are very real, especially… Continue reading 500 Words on Triggers
