Up to 20k words now. I know my writing is getting serious when I set up my spreadsheet and start tracking my daily word count. I work the best when I write every day and set myself a deadline.

While My Guitar Djently Weeps should be finished by no later than March.

We saw Linkin Park last night. We showed up a little after doors opened and still managed to get on the rail. The whole event was just a blast of nostalgia for me. I felt like I was fourteen again.

One of the best shows I’ve been to. And I’ve been to a lot.

My signed copy of @sgj.bsky.social The Buffalo Hunter Hunter came in!! It’s so pretty I almost don’t want to read it.

How am I supposed to pick between reading the new @chuckwendig.bsky.social or the new @toddkeisling.com first?

Another story acceptance!

Stoked to have "Wasted on the Young" (inspired by the song Sliver) appearing in this Nirvana themed anthology!

A beta reader finished reading through my novel today, and this is the first thing they say. It also brought them to tears. They gave me so much great feedback that will get this book to the next level.

And then.

Hopefully.

I’ll get it in print.

New ink! As we were cleaning out my grandma’s house, we came across some old poetry she’d written. My tattoo artist and I used some of the imagery in one of those poems to create this memorial piece for her.

Stoked to have received a set of @sgj.bsky.social The Only Good Indians from the Screams for Teens program! So excited to teach this book to my students this year.

Picked up tickets to see Queens of the Stone Age with money I made from writing. So that’s pretty cool.
