Bio
I'm a creative writer in the way that I write. I hold the pen in this unique and creative way you've never seen. The content which I write... well, it's still to be determined if that's any good.

Fuchsia Fire And The Purple Lake
This story was originally published in Short Shorts on Medium. ************** A dry wind raises dusky dirt off the barren land and flings it about. I squint. Dirt specks pierce my corneas… but I keep my eyes open… for I see it.

That Bounty Commercial
Have you seen that Bounty Commercial? The one where retired football player Rob Gronkowski, and now… what is he, an analyst slash fun personality?... sneaks up behind people who are eating wings and wipes the sauce off their faces for them. It’s a funny commercial. And a great idea, having a mouth wiper for all your sauces. Um.

Conference Margaritas
The conference was the same as every year, not necessarily boring, but predictable. Informative. A good enough time. People got to stay in a nice hotel for free, a week away in a different city. Simon scanned the faces in the crowd, many of the same ones he briefly saw last year too. Until his eyes landed on a new face. No, he’d never seen her before.

Stay Long Enough
A hot dry breeze rolled lazily past carrying the scents of the diverse meals of the street vendors. The clanging of their tongs on grills mingled with the boisterous laughter of the booze-soaked bar flies that had stumbled into the streets.

2025 Writing Goals
I wanted to try something a little different. I always have my writing goals for the day, for the week, for the month. They change from time to time, but I use them to try to finish stories and scripts by certain times. Some projects have deadlines, and some don't, so setting some goals helps me to keep up with a good pace.

Hot and Humid
This story was originally published on Medium. ************** The heat is all encompassing, the humidity is so thick that a being must possess a strong backstroke in order to navigate it, but the smell is heavenly. Hillary takes a deep breath; the humidity fills her lungs with a drinkable liquid. It’s steamy, earthy, almost a hint of something fruity. It’s lovely.

November Rejections
I’ve gone through so many droughts of success when it comes to my writing career, it’s a parched business trying to get published. I’ve gotten turned down so many times in a row, whether it be attempts at getting a story published or having entered a script in a contest, and then I’d get good news! Getting published or moving on in a contest! And that’s the way it always goes. Dozens of rejections, one success. And it’s all worth it. And it would feel tough through all those rejections, but then I’d get that one success and I’d gain perspective. I kept fighting through and finally achieved something that I wanted to.
