This is the last writing project I want to complete before focusing all of my attention on self-publishing novels. It's the only one that I haven't thought 100% through, and I don't know how I'm going to execute certain parts of it. Basically, it's a work in progress.

I published this novel though a vanity press in February 2009. It has since gone out of print. I plan to rewrite it after I finish the rough draft of "These Scars Will Fade".

This is a future writing project that I plan to start after I've finished the rough draft of Gentle Comes the Night.

I wrote this short story (6,170) for a creative writing class in uni back in 2006. Initially, I titled it "State of Misery". At the moment, I don't know what I should do with it.

I finished the rough draft of this novellete/novella (19,361) in December of 2024. I was inspired to write it after seeing Noahfinnce play live at the Bottom Lounge in Chicago on 12 April 2024. At the moment, I'm not sure what I should do with it.

This is a previous writing project. I finished the rough draft (132,500 words) in March 2023. I have plans to self-publish it but that will take some time. First, I want to finish all of my other writing projects and get Secrets Within back into print.

This is my current writing project. In uni, it started out as a short story titled "Serenity within Chaos" and has since evolved into a full-length novel. I'm approximately ten weeks away from finishing the rough draft. Yeah! 🤪

Started off the new year with a cold and laryngitis. Luckily, I felt a bit better today, so I took full advantage of it.

First day of winter, a sunny albeit chilly day.

I don't know guys... I may have a slight obsession with Noahfinnce. 😐

On today's walk, I saw some interesting clouds and several reflections in puddles.

We had a warm day that melted all of the snow, so I decided to go for a walk along Lake Michigan.

Autumn barely started before we got hit with a snow storm. The trees haven't even shed all of their leaves yet. Well, that's Wisconsin for you.

Had a dusting of snow, and that provided me with an excuse to put out my Christmas tree. Also, here's my helper. 🙃
