SHORT FICTION

If a short story comes off of submission and has not been picked up by a publication, I’ll post it here! I’ll likely do the same with any short story that is published once the rights revert back to me.

LITERARY ANALYSIS

A fairly new addition to the blog! In addition to what I’m working on personally, I’m going to try and be more vocal in the way I dissect the media I consume, how my writerly brain makes sense of it, and what stands out to me.
