    Being a Media Trash Goblin Is a Full Time Job

    Now don’t let that last post give you any untoward ideas. Horror isn’t all I consume–just 90% of it. The remaining 10% is pretty diverse, but 50% of it is garbage. 70%… OK, 90%.  1. LOVE. Watching TRASH. And I’m not talking subjective trash what you can bluff your way out…

  • A Quiet Companion

    A Quiet Companion

    I grew up an indoor kid. I may have said this before, but stick with me. I wasn’t allowed to join any after-school activities like teams or clubs; I wasn’t allowed to visit the few friends I’d made, despite that first hurdle (with the rare exception of playing warden to…

    It’s Got a Bit of Weight to It

    I want to be vulnerable for a moment. I grew up an indoor kid. There are various reasons why that happened, but the end result was that I spent more time indoors than out, playing video games or curled up with a good book. I loved words, the power they…

    Where the **** Have I Been?! (Plus a very delayed gift)

    Wait! Before you click away, I want to start off by saying I’m sorry. Let me explain. I mean this as sincerely as possible. Life has a way of life-ing and it’s taken me away from what I loved the most. This. Writing, creating worlds, and interacting with new people.…

    To New Beginnings?

    It’s been a long time since I’ve written something here, but I couldn’t let another year begin without marking the occasion. The last two years have been rough. My anxiety was at its peak, pushed on with worry about myself, the people around me, the world. I’ve started so many…

  • I hope this post finds you well

    Now that things feel less dire for the moment, and people struggle to go back to the world we once knew, I finally feel like I can take a breath. I’m just hoping we all feel pretty much the same.

    Things are Scary Out There…

    If you’re like me, the current state of the world has you feeling a little anxious. There’s so much information going around and almost none of it good. You want a little escapism. For the time being, (until this is over) all of my books are just .99. If they…

    Update July 2019

    There’s been a lot going on this month. I clocked in at EDIT: 32000 words on the “Space Bartender” WIP with more left to type up. Still really enjoying it. I’m reaching a point where I want to focus more on world building, but not quite yet. Also, take a look…
