A copycat of conventional wisdom, On the surface below the dimming light, A sage unlike yourself, Growing tall in the sidewalk weeds. Ask a question of right and wrong, A lasting impression of your face, We are like the others, you say, Nothing is unique about us. What rhythms have you found Under the belly…
If you need to remove a leech from your body, remove it from your skin by pushing it sideways. This will cause it to lose its suction and throw it back into the water. If you are in a confrontation, the best thing to do is ignore heated responses and don’t ask questions. Start talking…
I opened the first novel I wrote what seems a long time ago and read a few paragraphs. This was in 2021 and I thought to myself, “not too bad of writing.” Now, I need to start back up on my second novel and hopefully finish it by the end of this year (basically the…
There were spots on the doors I couldn’t see earlier. I had come into this particular room, full of black and white photographs hung on the walls in asymmetrical order. When I first came into this room with black walls facing one direction and white walls facing another direction, I didn’t know at the time…

Stepped up to the podium all adult like, no child leftover, and with orange on her shirt, it shouldn’t have been there, but her mouth had two holes and nothing to fill in the second gap. They all knew what was going to happen, and could not stop it. The pain of knowing the end…
The message was clear. You’re damned if you do. You’re more damned if you don’t. You sit down like the others. The place where thick girls go. The seats give a little extra. They push you in a certain direction. They yell follow me to the end. I ask the end of what? of where?…
I don’t know about you, as a writer, but I love to start new stories about three to four pages in and then it sort of sits there. I’m struggling still with my second novel idea. I quit working on my third novel idea. I got inspiration from a few books I’m sporadically reading and…
