Compilation of my best Twitter stories for the month of August: SOUL GAZING Deprive a body of water, it will dry up and die. Deprive a soul of love and it will surely wither and perish all the same, though the body continue healthy and whole.

Twitter Fiction July 2021
I’ve gotten behind on compiling my Twitter fiction. The truth is, I stopped the microfiction writing a few months back; the muse seems to have left me as I’ve been focusing more on other things– both writing- and non-writing-related. But I’ll have a few more of these posts to put up here before the end.Continue reading “Twitter Fiction July 2021”
Toy Soldiers
I wrote this short story a few months ago and submitted to a few places. Since none of them decided to accept the manuscript, now I share it here. This is a piece of speculative, dystpoian fiction, faith-based and visceral. TW: suicide. I take my seat in the stadium, ready for the concert– a state-sponsoredContinue reading “Toy Soldiers”
Back From Vacation
After tackling NaNoWriMo in November I started feeling burnt out on writing for the first time in two years. I decided to give myself grace and take December off from all writing endeavors, and now I’m feeling more ready to jump back into it. It probably still won’t look the same as it did, though.Continue reading “Back From Vacation”
About a Deer, or The Night After Hunting Season
I wrote this poem in 2015 and shared it on Facebook. Every year around this time it pops up in my “Memories,” and this year I decided to share it here. The meter (and some of the phrasing) is based on The Night Before Christmas, and is about a deer that got hit by aContinue reading “About a Deer, or The Night After Hunting Season”

I’ve made no secret of the fact that I am discovery writing my way through the story, and with that in mind it’s bound to become aContinue reading “Reflections on the Web Serial Process: First Act”
Heroes of Berea 1.H
Previous What is This? Next OREILIN It was good to hear her family’s voices. Her day had been very strange, but at least her evening could end on a high, Oreilin thought, as she listened with joy to her little nephew singing her favorite Alturian anthem. All the children were eventually shuffled off to bed,Continue reading “Heroes of Berea 1.H”
Heroes of Berea 1.G
Previous What is This? Next FENRICK There was only so much idleness a self-respecting man could take. So despite Velvina’s admonition that he rest, Fenrick soon set about searching the apartment for a project. He found it: a broken closet in the second bedroom. He found a basic toolkit in the hallway cabinet and setContinue reading “Heroes of Berea 1.G”
Heroes of Berea 1.F
Previous What is This? Next VEL She descended, with dampened hair and clothing, to another basement room not unlike the one she’d taken Oreilin to. Only this one was dust-free. Covertly maintained by the Organization as a “safe room” on campus, Vel had been here several times before. She knocked on the door to announceContinue reading “Heroes of Berea 1.F”
