I am a ghost writer, but I am not dead. I am the spirit who writes stories in your head. Whether in night dreams, or in daydreams, I write stories for thee. When you lift your pencil, I am the shadow you cast; Dark, dramatic, and infinitely vast, the stories you write come from … Continue reading Love letter: to the writer
Come to the Well
Come to the Well, Partake of the water That has flowed for two-thousand years. Wash away your blood and tears; Hear the sounds and be soothed. Watch it turn into wine, Marvel at the beauty of its sparkling surface, its red color, Feel the fire in your heart and belly, Become drunk … Continue reading Come to the Well
Meditation on connections
I suppose that people don't like to be tied down. I get it. But understand - There is a difference between being tied down and being tied to something. I don't think that being tied to something is a bad thing. And understand - Having nothing to connect to Is like … Continue reading Meditation on connections
Meditation on silliness
May I emphasize the absurdity of living In which there are so many people Who don't get common sense Or mix up pride and confidence or Mix up judgement and understanding And think there are walls between science and God as if the cross is not a polygon. I cannot believe that people are inherently … Continue reading Meditation on silliness
ART | Steampunk sketch
Showcasing illustrations and art which tells a story I drew this a few weeks ago, expecting to make something like a poster for an over-the-top action anime because I was listening to a song from an over-the-top steampunk action anime. Clearly that didn't happen. The story idea that first came to me when drawing this … Continue reading ART | Steampunk sketch

I learned a few things at the workshop, and I'm going to write about them while they're still fresh in my head. … Continue reading BLOG | Things Susquehanna Taught Me
BLOG | I am a student of human nature.
Me and my mom were in the kitchen, having breakfast together. She and my dad were talking to me about transferring back to my old brick-and-mortar school, which had a better curriculum than my current school but was filled with people who would not stop swearing and made inappropriate conversation. My mom is pretty convinced … Continue reading BLOG | I am a student of human nature.
The Problem with Over-Editing
I learned something yesterday. Do not edit a story more than two times... Especially if you do not have an extra set of eyes to examine your work. Case in point: "He poured to his heart to her..." "He didn't supposed..." (0 )- o)... Now, the first time I posted Water Phoenix, I was feeling … Continue reading The Problem with Over-Editing
Water Phoenix
It was not long until the boredom got to him again. Slowly he descended from his revere and into his daydreams. He saw a sunlit meadow where not a flake of snow had fallen in a thousand years. He saw dandelions for the first time, picked flowers, like violets, daisies, buttercups. He’d seen pictures in … Continue reading Water Phoenix
News
On the 6th, I was accepted for attendance in the Susquehanna University's Summer Advanced Writing Workshop. Hopefully come June, work will become much more consistent as school is cleared from my schedule. In other news, expect another piece to come on the 13th. It's kind of weird but I like to think that I did … Continue reading News
