I wrote this poem for my wife to read at our sons kindergarten graduation: It’s been such a joy My sweet little boy Just seeing you learn and grow The things you will see And the person you’ll be Will be wonderful baby I know #poem #poetry #amwriting #parenting #graduation

Here’s another photo from my Black Bridge photo session. Random junk on the side of the train track. Thought there was some beauty in it. #photography

I did a whole session taking photos on my Nikon Zf on Monday. The best photo ended up being the 0.8MP one I took on my Leica Sofort. 🤷‍♂️ #photography

Call me paranoid but all these people online who ask for a premise or a short description of your book make me feel like they’re gonna plug that into AI to make a bootleg copy of your idea. #writersky #amwriting #writingcommunity #wip #author

Bluesky world! I just typed the last words on the first draft of my novel! 75,313 words, 57 chapters. It is a #thriller/#horror story and a gruesome tale of revenge. This is my 6th book, but the first one I am going to try and get professionally published. #writersky #booksky #writingcommunity #WIP

I think my new marketing strategy as an author is to just post photographs and art and hope people notice in my bio that I write books. More of a soft approach. Trying to push my books on people makes my soul ache. Here are some more pictures from the New England Aquarium. #photography

Visited the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester, NH yesterday with the whole family. We are members. It is an amazing little museum with an impressive collection. Highly recommend if you’re ever in the area. They even have a scavenger hunt for kids! #art #museum

Only believing in things that have been proven by science is a denial of reality. In order to be a scientist you have to believe there is more to prove. #science

First draft is about 80% done! Sometimes on long projects, at this point I just want it to be over, but I am enjoying writing this book so much I don’t want it to end. Can’t wait to share it with people! #writersky #writingcommunity #author #WIP #writing

Been on fire writing lately. Up to 57,559 words on the manuscript. I have zero motivation or bandwidth for posting on social media. Honestly I think this is the way life is meant to be. I’m just going to become a hermit and keep writing in peace. #writersky #writingcommunity #author #writing #WIP

Parents found this old model in their house from when I was in architecture school. The design is a bit insane but it’s a cool memory. #art #architecture

“AR-P0P” some political message about gun violence and children. Or Americans buying guns like candy. I didn’t decide what it meant, it just felt right to make. Choose your own interpretation. #painting #art

I made this cipher almost 5 years ago and it remains unsolved by man or machine. It is powered by Python code that can encrypt and decrypt this. I designed and made the font. The fact that #AI can’t solve it makes me feel like a small artist striking back at the big, evil plagiarism machine. #art

Printmaking can be so unpredictable. I started with 24 of these and all but 6 misprinted on the last color. Those 6 looked great though. This one is for my brother in law. “Ship at Sunset” #printmaking #art #nautical
