    Status Update 2021-01-23

    So, I’m finally posting commissions again, which is a big step up over the last several months. That said, I’ve amassed a bit of a backlog—people who asked me about commissions while I was on hiatus—and I’m trying to work that off. I’ve currently got 5 people left in the queue, so if you’ve talked…

    Status Update 2020-12-13

    Phew, what a whirlwind it’s been since my last post! I had thought that things would slow down once the tiny house got here, but it turns out there was just more work to be done once it did! My dad and I got the electrical hooked up, and I got the water hooked up.…

    Relief and Reflection

    The election has been called for Biden, and for that I’m grateful and relieved. However, the closeness of the election has given me pause. A big pause. I have never liked Trump, and it’s not because I’m anti-conservative. I lean fiscally conservative myself. What I dislike about him is his divisiveness, the rude and disparaging…

    Status Update 2020-10-29

    The last six or so weeks have been, in a word, insane. I paid off the land and then promptly ended up in the hospital for five days with diverticulitis. While that was not “enjoyable”, it did light a fire under my ass to get out of the camper. I was lying there on the…

    0.125

    I wanted to make this a poem, but the words and meter escaped me. So, prose it is. They sit alone, their surroundings intimate. One warm, one cool, they feel each other out. Lips find muzzle, fingers twitch. But be careful: not too fast. Go to savor it. Gently, fingers: mind the 0.125. Their hearts…

    E Pluribus Veritas

    As you guys know, I’ve been struggling with what I perceive to be an awful lot of blind animosity in the US right now. It’s disheartening since I don’t really know what to do about it. I certainly don’t have the solutions to the country’s complex problems—I haven’t even experienced a tenth of the country,…

    Status Update 2020-08-15

    The fire didn’t help my mood today, so I guess it’s time to get everything off my chest. This year has been really hard, and I don’t just mean COVID-19, the utter lack of social life, the months and months of isolation, or the complete clusterfuck that is the government’s response to it. This year…

    A Word from a Frustrated Moderate

    I don’t write many entries like this, but having just watched Hamilton, it seems now is as good a time as any to get this off my chest. To you who hate the right, to you who hate the left; to you who hate the Boomers, to you who hate the Millennials; to you who…

    06 – Getting to Know You: Self-Reflection and Resolution

    I went back and reread this series last night and felt a pang of nostalgia. So, time to continue. Not gonna lie, this is a short one. But, it seemed like an important part to tell. <Previous Chapter> Bulkun is asleep within seconds, his chest lightly pressing against you each time he inhales. Your mind…

    Gosh, I Miss My Keyboard

    Okay, random comment, but also bits of status update (sheesh, I think I’ve posted more in the last two days than all of last year combined…maybe I like even years). Watched a musician / comedian called Victor Borge for a while; he’s dead, but YouTube has captured some very funny moments of his. Then again,…

    Minor Status Update

    Holy crap, I’ve written a lot this weekend; I’m pretty sure I wrote 16K today alone! It’s nice to have a real day off occasionally. But anyway, yeah, there’s a nice, big chunk in the Getting to Know You series. I don’t have anything else planned for the time being, so we’ll see when the next…

    05 – Getting to Know You: Redelhorn

    Just couldn’t stand it, so I started writing right away… As fair warning, there’s a scene that would involve a bit of blood in this chapter. I don’t go into the blood, but without wanting to give anything away for those who want to read it anyway, just be advised that the thing Bulkun promised…

    04 – Getting to Know You: The Voyage (Part 2)

    One of these days, I’ll sleep instead of staying up all hours writing these… Or I’ll spend hours reading about sailing and lose complete track of time. Sea shanties, anyone? So, this took considerably longer than I expected. What was supposed to be another 3K or so words to round out the first part turned…

    03 – Getting to Know You: The Voyage (Part 1)

    As soon as I started trying to go to bed last night, ideas started popping into my head for this installment. So, rather than doing the responsible thing and going to bed early to make up for having had only 4 hours of sleep last night (the meeting with the architect went well, by the…

    02 – Getting to Know You: The Demonstration

    For the record, I never intended for this to go this long; my notes on this are literally only 300 words. But, I’ve been thinking about this story off and on for months now, and I really wanted to add to it. So, here goes. I hope you enjoy! <Previous Chapter> You wake up to…

    Status Update

    Hello, all. I’ve just finished reading Don Quixote, and I have to say, damn, that was a long book. I started reading it after watching some of The Expanse (I’ve since finished watching it), and in the time it has taken me to finish the book, I’ve also started and finished The Witcher. All of these have been entertaining…

    Update (Warning: Lots of Navel-Gazing)

    Edit: To my readers, I appreciate you all, but this post is for me. You can read it if you want, but it really rambles a lot—even by my standards—and is not really a particularly “fun” post. So, if you want to skip this one, feel free; you’re not missing anything. So, life’s been nuts…

    The Púca

    There once was a man. He sat alone in the dark. Terribly lonely. Out of the darkness There appeared emerald eyes, Eyes that watched the man. The man gave a sigh, Wishing for good company. The eyes moved forward. Suddenly gasping, The man turned toward the eyes, But there was nothing. Overcoming fear, The man…

    A New Experiment: Jack’s Blacks

    It has occurred to me that although the proceeds from Amazon sales have been very, very slow, they are steady, and the best thing is that I don’t really have to do anything other than occasionally offer one of the stories for free. It also occurred to me that things might pick up if I had…

    Virtual Reality

    So, first story in a long time. A friend of mine is really into pig transformation, so this is for her. It’s tagged as erotica, but there’s not really any sex, just so y’all are forewarned. Enjoy. The fair grounds bustled with activity: animals being put on display, children running and playing on the midway, and…
