I started this story at one of the most challenging times in my life. I finished it when I finally accepted healing and love back into my life. Thank you Penmen Review for being the first home for my writing. #flashfiction penmenreview.com/206-2/


It took my entire life. But here I am. I can finally say, "I love being alive." and mean it.


LitMags on Twitter: “We are looking for evocative work that embodies the sensation of living in a colony of yeast as fermentation turns society into a craft IPA. Also Lit Mags on Twitter: *releases a brilliant issue about that very theme that shatters your world view.*


Two years ago, nearly to the day, I released a massive #dnd5e campaign on #DMsGuild. This was the project that made me realize I could write, like really write. I wouldn't be a writer if it wasn't for this experience.

Learning new words is cool and fun.


I know I have strong (and Marxist) feelings about notifications and technology and how everything is built to steal out money… but this is just obnoxious no matter how you spin it. #mtg

The Southern Reach Trilogy masterfully blends characterization with structure and subverts genre standards. The mystery unfolds in layers and the entire narrative is focused to a tee. The film “Annihilation” subverts movie adaptations by telling the story of 3 books in one film

This time last year I was enduring one of the most traumatic and stressful times in my life. One year later and this my view after a day at a dope job and lots of writing. Lesson learned: it does get better ❤️

There were no simpler times, only different times


One of my short stories finally found a home! I’m proud to say that I will be officially published very soon 🥹


Yeah so that 80,000 word manuscript I had? This week my brain realized it was actually an outline because I’m rewriting the whole thing with a vengeance. And I really like it.


It’s actually okay and good to compliment yourself. That’s not ego it’s self love. Affirmations are healthy.


My favorite part about being invisible on social media is I can sling my funny ass inner monologue on Twitter (sorry… X *cough*) without annoying my family. Then maybe like one person sees something I said and chuckles and so it’s all worth it.


Dear Employers that take forever to make a decision: Do you think I’m just hanging out on my couch waiting for you? I already got a job MONTHS ago. Or is it that someone else got hired months ago too and you took this long to tell me no as a formality 🤔
