Convincing you to read my novel by the first sentence. Share yours if you want (I'm cheating and giving you a paragraph).

he sleep
Two cats - one all black, the other a tuxedo - lay down on a beige couch. The all black cat sleeps on his back, his paws in the air and his mouth partially open. The tuxedo cat moves in the shot, blurring her out. A close up on a black cat's face, his eyes clothes and his mouth partially open.

I saw Sleep Token this weekend. Still recovering.

If you need more incentive to hire me, Nightmare here keeps breaking all the toys we give him, so help me feed my cat's addiction to breaking stuff.

After cleaning up the website a bit, I wanted to say: hi! I'm Alex Puncekar, a game writer based in Madison, WI. I'm looking for work! With over four years working on solo and team environments, I'd make a great addition to your project. You can find my website and portfolio here: alexpuncekar.com

My cat sleeps like she got knocked out in a PS2-era Metal Gear game.

I have cats. They interfere with pretty much everything. I love them.
An all black, four month year old kitten sitting in a sunny window. He stares at the camera. A house is outside the window. A black kitten with a white chin sits on an all black kitten on a beige couch. They lean against a gray pillow. A kitten with a white chin sits on the raised arm of a very disgruntled, very tired white man in a green sweatshirt and a black hat.

*collapses*

First draft of my epic fantasy mecha book is done. Now I can go back to bed.
