Join this queer speculative fiction writer slash PhD candidate as they put pen to paper and get a glimpse into their current projects, writing process, and general musings.

If you’re here, it’s probably because you already know me. In that case, hello family members, friends, acquaintances, and lurkers. Nice to have you in my little corner of the interwebs!

If you don’t already know me, who are you? How did you get here?

In any case, you’re here, but perhaps you’re not sure why. Well, let me tell you. I’ve been writing for a really long time: first dabbling in poetry in elementary school, surviving adolescence in self-created fantasy worlds, and ultimately losing the war between writing for work and writing for pleasure for most of my adult years.

That is, until I put pen to paper and returned to my passion of fiction writing. And I’m making up for lost time!

To start, I’d like to share bits and bobs of current projects, my writing process, words I find inspiring, and general writing-related content. Who knows? I may throw in a little about reading, too. This is where I plan on housing it all for the foreseeable future. I am new to Substack, so I may hate it and call it quits by the end of the week, but I’d truly like to give it the old college try.

So, if you’ve made it to the end of this post, gold star for you! I hope you can draw something meaningful from my content, if only just entertainment.

Enjoy!
