Writer & Artist

This place is a collection of my thoughts, ideas, and fiction. Some of this isn’t polished, and some of it seemed like a good idea at the time. Creativity is a process—something that is ongoing—and always changing. You might stumble upon brilliance, madness, or just plain crap here. I can’t be sure.

Love it or hate it, my hope is that you find something.
