I write, I stitch, I draw (sometimes). I overthink the minutiae and take mediocre photos of cats and stars. I write social media bios that go on for way too long. Live long and prosper, friends.

So much zhooshing! A wonderful read.
My new piece, “Downstream Benefits,” is up at www.pangyrus.com/fiction/down....
I should say it contains themes of depression and attempted suicide. But it also contains business jargon, ice-skating penguins, and several references to zhooshing.

You ever spend weeks perfecting a piece only to realize it has no message beyond the fetishization of rural American neighborhoods?
On the plus side, this could double as elevation views for a pretty sweet Minecraft build.
Cross stitch on Aida. My grandmother's materials, my own design.

Read this amazing, hot-off-the-presses short story. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll never look at the guy behind the pizza counter the same way again.
Can't say how delighted I am that my story "Visions and Revisions" makes an appearance in this issue. Thank you, @midlvlmag.bsky.social. Well done!

One of my clocks has been struggling to tick from the 42nd to the 43rd second mark for the past 24 hours. In case anybody out there needed a writing prompt.

Thoughtful essay that gives me hope (and energy) for my WIP.
REBOOT is officially out today. Here’s an essay for Lit Hub about all the times I failed to write it.
The Pilgrim’s (Lack of) Progress, Or, Sorry I Took So Long to Finish My Novel, Or, On the Value of Restarting
My new book, Reboot, is a fundamentally unserious novel that takes a few things far too seriously. Depending how you reckon, writing it either took me nine years or it took me a month. I started it…
