Writer hack: If you stand completely still when someone asks "how's that book you're writing coming along?" they can still see you, but they'll be so put off, they'll leave you alone.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

I think I’m finally getting in a groove with this juggling act I’ve found myself in. Biting off more than I can chew? I will simply chew harder.

Rediscovering my love for writing short form. Wrote a short film a month ago and am now addicted to the punctuality of it all. Get me in. Get me outtttt

I love time loops. I’d love to write a story that utilizes them but I fear I wouldn’t add anything new to the sub genre. It’s just too perfect for themes involving grief and that’s my bread and butter.

Love a good grief.
