Over 300?!
In 2020, I started this website. I remember it quite well. It took me a couple weeks to get the color scheme figured out, and a couple pages uploaded. I typed up a couple posts right away so the site would have some content. I was trying to make it perfect, but keep it simpleContinue reading “Over 300?!”
Inspiration’s a Funny Thing
One of my favorite things about different writers is where they get their inspiration from. I once read in a book that J.K. Rowling got a lot of her inspiration and ideas for Harry Potter from childhood memories. Games she used to play with friends and experiences during school. Her characters were even based offContinue reading “Inspiration’s a Funny Thing”
Message by Train
A couple weeks ago, I was stuck waiting on a train. We’ve all been there. We get to a railroad crossing, the lights light up, the bars go down, and all you can do is wait while a train goes by. Trains are very cool. I like to look them over as they go by.Continue reading “Message by Train”

Flow
Write. Just write. Don’t think what’s on the page. Don’t let the pen stop. Just write. Get it out. Whatever it is. Whatever you’re holding back. What you’re trying to hide. Write it down. Don’t let the pen rest. Don’t think of what you’re saying. Do this for your best. Words on the page, helpContinue reading “Flow”
Alternate You
Describe your life in an alternate universe. In an alternate universe, I’d have given into pressure. In an alternate universe, maybe I have found treasure Whatever the universe, I’d be on a different path Probably the one I’d pick last Maybe in one, I’d be a lot stronger But in another, I’d be no longerContinue reading “Alternate You”
Heated Dawn
Bolts of lightning flash through the thunderhead on the horizon. The early morning is painted a desert blazing hue, but the storm marches forward with thundering blues and heavy grays. A bolt of lightning dispels the colors in pinkish light, yet vanishes a second later. Across half the horizon, the storm lays its claim. AtmosphericContinue reading “Heated Dawn”
Sound of Change
You never know how much a sound affects you until it’s gone. You hear the same thing over and over that when it stops, you look for it. For me, that sound is my cat’s collar. My putty tat of 18 years passed away a couple weeks ago. After she was gone, I wore herContinue reading “Sound of Change”
Blast to the Past
About a week or so ago, I pulled out an old tub that was full of old school stuff. Mostly high school. It was all my notebooks, notes, some homework, old tests, articles, projects. Pretty much everything I ever collected throughout high school with a little bit of jr. high and elementary mixed in. ItContinue reading “Blast to the Past”
