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 […]
Meet Me in a Raindrop
Suspended in a raindrop that never fell.
A memory that hasn’t happened
replays on and on
but I won’t tell. Continue reading “Meet Me in a Raindrop”
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 […]
Down to the Wire
Okay. Let’s be honest here for a second. If I don’t finish this thing before Kingdom Hearts 3 comes out I’m pretty much doomed. I think I only lack three chapters from having the bare plot bones on the page so I think it’s doable. I’m just getting sorta anxious that it’s almost over if […]
The End in Sight
So far so good. I’m on track to finish this chapter either tonight or tomorrow. Then I’ll be ready to jump right into the next one. That being said, the chapter I’m working on was already halfway done before I started writing again, so I guess we’ll see how well I fare next week. Earlier […]
Bouncing Back
I’m back in my writing groove! We did it! Yeah! Honestly, the whole experience feels much better. I’ve started off rereading from chapter one. Unsurprisingly, I found a lot of things that could’ve been written a little better, so I wrote them a little better. This is something that happens virtually every single time I […]
Maintaining Hope
Here’s my obligatory political post folks. I know this isn’t typically what you come here to read but it’s something I think needs to be said. TL;DR Don’t be afraid to make your voice heard. Please, please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote. Ya know, getting political has become […]
Sensation
I’m struggling to find something that hasn’t been said already. I know there’s some string of words that wants to be said but it’s all so familiar now. Honestly, I’m having trouble pinpointing my ideas for this post after watching the Sense8 finale this morning, and, just by the way, its brilliance and complexity cannot […]
Back into the Action
It’s been a weird week. Weird doesn’t even begin to describe it actually. I found a new side of myself that I didn’t know existed. In a way, it left me kinda dumbfounded. And I basically surrendered to a new set of ideals for the whole week completely unintentionally. I realize I’m being overly cryptic […]
