Read Chapter 1 of my dark fantasy for free: vpwrites.kit.com/chapter1
I write dark, mythic fantasy that contemplates identity, empathy, & belonging.
- I’ve been MIA. Appointments, writing, health stuff. And now starting grad school. But I finally started meds after numerous tests etc. And I daresay I’m starting to feel slightly better? It’s kinda a process of elimination. I’ve got more appointments lined up but.. is that hope? Reprieve? Maybe?
- We fiction writers and artists are a strange lot. I’m talking super strange. Well. I’m glad.
- Now reading 🗡️ The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne. I’m late to the party, as usual. And not even fashionably so. But let’s go!
- If you want to read a strange creative nonfiction, please, help yourself to my post. It’s not a story. Nor is it a poem. It’s more like a lyrical essay. A lyrical.. list? I don’t know. Maybe somebody wiser knows. Enjoy! Or block me. Both will be understandable.
- Hemingway: The Mask of Masculinity and Revelations in The Snows of Kilimanjaro open.substack.com/pub/annotati...
- A rundown of Hemingway and his public persona. youtu.be/K44kg6jMYj8?...
- I'm doing some read-alongs over on Substack for the first part of the year, if anyone is interested in any of them! Specifically, I'll be noting observations on "identity" within each work. Read more about it: open.substack.com/pub/annotati...
- I’ve felt horrid. Stress seems to make everything worse tenfold, so I’ve been mostly avoiding the internet like the plague. But I’m so thankful for books. I dunno what I’d do without them.

- Oh, I’ve been MIA. But for those who have followed my whining about my health… I did finally see endocrinology. Next week, I have my thyroid checked again since hashimotos is a bitch. But also checking for potential Addison’s. I’m supposed to get a salivary gland biopsy to also check for ⬇️
- Watching Godzilla 2014 for 846th time. There is not a Godzilla movie that I don’t love. Even the 1998 one. Might watch Godzilla Minus One after. Now that one- phew. What a great movie.

- Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2026 is full of FIRE and TOGETHERNESS!
- Finally get to watch Wicked For Good! So excited!!
- My stepson (19) got this for me for Christmas and it’s a perfect gift. :)
- Merry Christmas everyone! It’s belated but was busy. Hope everyone was able to find a form of joy!
- Basically surviving chaos and extreme fatigue via coffee. Hopefully my appointments in Jan give me some answers for my health. 🫠
- It seems there is always something to do. But, before I run myself ragged, I shall watch Frankenstein (Netflix) tonight. Tomorrow, I'm reading Dickens's A Christmas Carol for the very first time. Which is insane considering I've seen 75 million adaptations and read much of his other work!
- Ive been MIA thanks to doc appointments and other responsibilities. But yeah! Thank hades for Friday. Also: www.instagram.com/reel/DSLCdcf...
- Read “Songlight” and then immediately read “Torchfire”, the first two books of The Torch Trilogy. Loved it! It’s labeled as YA, but it doesn’t read like most pop fiction YA so don’t let that deter you. It’s really good!
- Made a video while I feel not completely like death. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTrmKgRWA/
- Been dealing with my autoimmune shit, so unimportant tasks are not only deprioritized but completely forgotten. That includes socializing. But today’s horror chat was great (as always). The thoughtfulness, humor, reminiscing, vulnerability… it was really nice.

- #HorrorWritersChat We know Matt liked to bake. So do I. But the act of sharing a recipe is even more special! A couple years ago, around the holidays, he sent me a sticky gingerbread recipe. Even took the time to list the American ingredient substitutes! thelegendarybrownie.com/2017/02/20/n...
