We’re taking a holiday hiatus, see you in 2026.
Love you so very much, thank you for being here <3

Reading over 6,000 short stories taught me this: many writers are trying to impress editors. The best ones are trying to entertain readers. Huge difference.

Currently reading this (taking my sweet time savoring) and I may have to get a physical copy for my shelf. The weird mystery is superb.

My "dream life" is writing a bunch of short stories that I could work into making into either video games or a short comic book run (to both help get folks getting into those spaces in and to get into those fields myself).
