I had such an amazing time at Zine Fest! It was so liberating to show off my poetry and my baking skills in public and my table did way better than I expected. Having my partner by my side and being surrounded by my friends really helped because I was anxious as hell leading up […]

a googled bible verse
I’m really over WordPress not letting me insert TABS, y’all. So we doin’ PNGs until further notice. Poem follows:
Reboot
Hey. So I haven’t made a blog post in a hot minute. It’s been about six months now and this break was originally only supposed to be a month, two tops. I was doing a sprint or whatever to finish my novel. And I did it. I finished it. I’m still editing but I finished the first draft and I was pumped about that— still am. I’m very happy with it and where it’s going. Continue reading “Reboot”
My Thoughts
Hi. So I’ve been mostly silent for a lot of reasons. I’ve found it very difficult to write much of anything creatively in the past few weeks for obvious reasons. If it wasn’t COVID-19 anxiety, it was sending myself spiraling into a hypochondriacal coma or, ya know, racial injustice. As a black man, a gay […]
How the Coronavirus Saved My Relationship With My Mother
If your daily droll resembles mine in the slightest, I’m sure it’s sixty percent coronavirus discussion, thirty percent anxiety, and ten percent trying to go on living your normal life before all this. Now, if the above percentage wasn’t indication enough, I’m absolutely certain you don’t want to hear me spout on about how everything […]
Recuperated
After the busyness of the holiday season, I can finally say that I’m back to focusing on writing. I also just started a new relationship (which, by the way, is absolutely magical) and let’s just say that I’ve been… distracted. Plus, I haven’t been dreaming much. They’ve mostly either incoherent or nightmarish. Or incoherent nightmares. […]
I Disappeared Again
Things have gotten quiet again, but this time it was totally unintentional. I had the good fortune to be found by this lovely writing coach by the name of Lauren Sapala. And it’s totally changed the way I approach writing. I always felt like I wrote in an unconventional way but she helped confirm that […]
Looking Ahead
I’m making plans to participate in NaNoWriMo next month! I’ve already been making extensive notes on Stargazer but I still haven’t officially started writing it. It’s more than likely going to be more than 50k words but I can’t honestly say for certain. I think I can make it happen either way as long as […]
Where I’m Going
Over the past month or so, I’ve been making a lot of progress on my next project, Stargazer, and I’m being a lot more cautious. This time, I’m trying to outline the entire thing before I even get started writing it. Which probably sounds like a no-brainer but I had a much different approach with […]
Where I’ve Been
I disappeared for a while. Here’s why. [TL;DR I found genuine happiness and suddenly nothing else mattered. Then I finally discovered that that wasn’t enough so here I am again. I’ll be posting here regularly again but not as frequently as I have up until now.] So I realized something the other day. This is […]
