I didn't realize the trade war was a bit more nuanced. Also, if Goliath was alive today, he would have a disability card.

I was interviewed by the local radio about Judo. This is a great write up on my sport, and club!

My most recent story. It is early and short because I am still a bit under the weather coming back from holidays, and this weekend I'm swamped volunteering at a Canadian National-A tournament.

Morning walks are easier without 2ft of snow on the ground. I'm so ready for Christmas in Germany.

Hey, #writingcommunity, do you ever run the readability stats on your work? I always find it interesting, especially the way it can vary depending on genre. Here's the stats for the last story I sold, a flash fiction horror piece. Obvs, my prose tends to be pretty straightforward. lol

A screenshot of Flesch-Kincaid readability scores.
Reading Ease - 86.8
Grade Level - 4.1
Passive sentences - 1.4%

This is an older story that transitions through different phases. It was a fun one to write, so I thought I would share it with you. Try to guess the transitions.
