Even if it’s dark. Even if it’s messy. Even if it’s still in pieces.
Your story is still worth telling.
Sometimes writing is survival. Sometimes it’s healing.
And sometimes, it’s both.

The Chronicles of Bob: The Chronic Suicidal: A Novella (Tragedy in Four Acts)
Meet Bob Barnem. He's not your average guy. In fact, he's a chronic suicidalist-and he's here to share his unconventional journey through the darkest corners of his mind.
Have you ever felt an itch you can't scratch? No, not the kind you treat with ointment. Imagine driving down the highway and suddenly having the urge to jump out of the car-or even flirt with danger in ways that walk the line between thrill and oblivion. Bob does. And he's not afraid to tell you how he gets through it.
This is his story-a tale of suicidal urges, a bizarre knife, phantom creatures, and accidental heroism. Sometimes, survival means embracing the chaos.
Some itches just need to be scratched.
Get ready for a wild ride.

Writing dialogue is like eavesdropping on imaginary people who won’t shut up, and I love it.
One of my favorite lines this week: “If you’re going to monologue, at least buy me dinner first.”
(Cue the sarcasm and violence.)
