I am firmly in the camp of not participating in National Novel Writing Month this year. Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me summarize.
No Nano For Me This Year | 11/8/2023
Writing Wednesdays | Turkey Buzzards at the Beach | 10/25/2023
Free verse poem about what it says in the title. 🦅
Writing Wednesdays | Characters at the Gym | 10/18/2023
Just some journalistic observations of interesting people at the gym.
Writing Wednesdays | Bloody, Sweaty, Teary Excerpt #4 | 10/11/2023
Old, old snippet from 2021 that you can tell is old because the characters still have their original concept names. Context is that Gordon (who later became Kryoloth aka Kry) is an estranged lava magic user from an ice magic using family.
Pseudo-Journal Entry #5: Cats and Meditation | Writing Wednesdays | 10/4/2023
My attempt at meditating for the first time in a while last night was, uh, mixed.
WIP Wednesday | Bird Curse Excerpt 2 | 9/26/2023
Snippet from a short story below that I posted another bit from way back in March.
Writing Wednesdays | Pseudo-Journal Entry #4 | 6/28/2023
Breaking my hairbrush in half at the handle when I took a mental health day felt like a metaphor for something.
Writing Wednesdays | Science Fantasy Sun Wukong Lightly Lampooned | 8/16/2023
I was originally going to title this something like "Thinly-Veiled Fanfic Poem" but that would imply that there is any sort of veil at all, which there is not.
Writing Wednesdays | Thirst Aid Kit | 8/9/2023
Weird, contemplative thing I wrote a few weeks ago to try and ground myself while having a very rough day/week.
Writing Wednesdays | Dinner Date Cut Concept | 8/2/2023
There was a hot second where I was considering trying to expand Dinner Date beyond the self-contained, complete novelette form that it's currently in.
Writing Wednesdays | Autobiographical Musings About Heat and Cold | 7/26/2023
It is, quite literally, hotter than it's ever been right now.
Writing Wednesdays | Tech Villanelle | 7/5/2023
May be a little "durr hburr technology is bad fire is scary and thomas edison was a witch" but I'm just in a Mood lately and this poem I wrote last year speaks to it.
Writing Wednesdays | Pseudo-Journal Entry #3 | 6/28/2023
Just some reflections I've had for a long, long time related to my technology addiction.
Writing Wednesdays | Surrealist Stream of Consciousness Breakup | 6/14/2023
Weird little thing.
Writing Wednesdays | Spaced Out | 6/7/2023
I've been watching too much Dragon Ball Z; it keeps influencing me to write content with touches of sci-fi.
Writing Wednesdays | Puppetry Prose Poem | 5/31/2023
Ah, alliteration in that title. I read this prose poem at Fabled's open mic night a while back.
Writing Wednesdays | Pseudo-Journal Entry #2 | 5/3/2023
I'll be real, this is a little bit "stream of consciousness 2 AM purple prose gobbledygook.”
Writing Wednesdays | Cartoon Blood Poem | 4/12/2023
I'm going to do a poetry reading at an open mic night tomorrow and wanted to post one of the poems in advance of when I can hopefully post a recording of my pieces on YouTube.
WIP Wednesday | Bird Curse Excerpt | 3/29/2023
Working title, haha. Near-midnight posting, but here’s an excerpt for this week! This is two parts of a series of vignettes about​ a princess, birds, her suitors, and something being a little off about it all.
Writing Wednesdays | Howling at the Sun | 3/15/2023
This is, no exaggeration, my favorite short piece I've written thus far in 2023. I'm very excited to share it.
Writing Wednesdays | Pseudo-Journal Entry at the Airport | 2/8/2023
I apologize for not posting last week, I was going through a lot mentally, as alluded to in this “story.”
