My latest strategy to get myself to actually complete my story projects has consisted of self-imposed exile to the library to write until I either finish or the place closes. It has proven to be extremely successful as I was able to type over 2,500 words in a single sitting yesterday.

Just finished reading The Picture of Dorian Gray. Really enjoyed it, lots of great themes to chew on that are still relevant these days. However, my mind has been plagued by the question of what an adaptation of this story for the 2020s would look like.

Happy Pride Month! Here's a short comic I've been chewing on a while, it's about playing a sport while trans in high school.

I have this fun hobby where I take pictures of myself next to radio/transmission towers I see while out and about. The idea is to get as close to the tower's base as I can. I hope to consolidate my work into a webpage or something in the future, but for now it's like an ongoing errand side quest.

I've got a piece floating around that I'm debating just putting up on my website that is, well, pretty apt for the current moment let's say. Problem is it's still stuck in submissions limbo and I'd hate to withdraw it

debating whether or not to just post a very short story I've finished on my website or to keep sending it out to mags and journals until somebody bites...if any of my [checks notes] 32 followers have any thoughts or opinions on that let me know

That's God, Emily
Emily remembered long ago when her parents found her in the backyard as a child, knees in the mud, digging in the dirt with her bare hands. She looked up at them as they loomed over her…

Been messing around with Twine lately, I keep running into a problem I frequently encounter in my minimal coding experience where doing something that sounds complicated is actually pretty easy but doing something that sounds easy is like trying to decode an ancient cursed tablet.

Did a writing sprint yesterday to get an idea out of my head. Pretty impressed w/ myself that I managed over 1300 words in about two hours. However I have NO idea how that compares to the average word count per hour. Solution: start doing it more often and compare to my own previous results.

Two more rejection emails. Guess I'm going for a stupid long bike ride while the weather's still nice.

Theoretically, if I had an extremely specific idea for a horror zine, how would I (theoretically) do a submission call for it

Ever since recorded music attained fidelity on-par with live performances, it could be argued that nobody "needs" to learn to play an instrument. But luckily we decided the world is a better place when we teach each other how to play instruments so we still do it. I feel the same about writing.

Made a lino cut for my story in Frontiers of Fright: A Southwestern Horror Anthology, "Jack Durham's Dead". Check out the anthology if you're into weird west or horror!

Finding any and all excuse to use the 2009 DTV transition as a key piece of plot is the name of my game this year for writing

This story I'm working on is shaping up to be my new longest piece ever, already at 3k words and I'm not even halfway through it.

No Spotify wrapped for me, all the music I listened to this year was either on the MP3 player I bought off ebay or youtube uploads of the Thief soundtrack.

Wondering what the general number of rejections is that you need to accrue on a piece before you have to retire it to live out its golden years on your own website. This story is on rejection #4 for the record

In other news yet another 20 year old video game has me in a chokehold. My problem with Transport Tycoon Deluxe is that I'm always one more train station away from solving public transport
