Hey gang. I usually write a poem for these dreams but this one was so vivid and I was just so alert when I woke up that… I dunno, it felt better staying in prose than verse. This is a little longer than my typical flash fiction but let’s just call it that? But it’s […]

Sidewalk Voyager
The boy couldn’t hold the umbrella upright. Or wouldn’t. The nuances in the plops of raindrops against the canopy as it spun about was enough to keep the boy’s attention. It was quite the spectacle to his parents. It would twist and wobble sideways, frontways, backways, and upways. His parents giggled on as he flung […]
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 […]
Neil Gaiman
I say that you’re my favorite
as if I read so much.
Truth is: I’d rather watch
your works come to life,

Pieces in Time
For his birthday, he got a telescope. And in an instant, it transported him to other worlds. To cities filled to the brim. To cities decimated and dim. He’d seen these scenes before. Recognized them. Places he’d been and placed he wanted to see. Those he’d read about in school. And those with nothing but […]
It Lies Up Above
“Belief is a telescope that nobody taught you how to hold.” This is a line from a song I found pretty recently. Music has just always been a very important and predominant part of my life so I’m happy to continually be influenced by it. When I heard this line, it hit pretty hard for […]
Normal to Want More
He had heard of a trick. Push a pencil though your hand, get control of your dream. He’d never had control before. So when he realized he was in a dream, he gave it a go. But the dream started controlling him. He froze up. And he shook with fear. Before long, he forced himself […]
Whatever it Takes
Stumbled upon a gem this morning entitled The Reality of Writing for a Living Today by Laura Drake on the Writers in the Storm blog. Good read. Little bit of an eye opener. If you’re like me and have aspirations of publication, I’d say it’s well worth your time to peruse this article, as well […]
Stargazer
So I’ve officially decided I’m gonna put Wayfinder up on the shelf and work on Stargazer for a little while. I just need to back away from it, I think. I’ve been so close to it that I’m having trouble pinpointing what’s not working. And even if I could, I’d almost certainly be too stubborn […]
The Path Splits Up Ahead
A fork in the road. Choose love or peace. An impossible decision. The world’s sorely overdue for some peace, right? On the other hand… What’s life without love? Of course it’s love you chose. You chose to love people and things. To love a life where there are no wrong decisions. Not that you know […]
