About
Welcome! Feel free to explore. I hope to use this site to track my progress with creative writing.
Site Map:
Vibes Dump - a place for me to collect images / quotes / lyrics that feel like the life I try to live and the work I hope to create.
Current Project - my current extended writing piece. This will change periodically, and I’ll retire finished or in-progress works to my archive as I switch my focus.
40 Mins - my short creative writing exercises. I find prompts online (reddit / chatgpt / creative writing blogs), sit with the prompt for 7 minutes, and then write for 33. I try to challenge myself with different genres. I love when a prompt clicks for me and makes sense, but if I find a prompt that I can’t imagine a story around, I force myself to go with it and see what happens. Those aren’t usually my favorite but they’re good practice, and they’re entertaining at least lol.
Lit Analysis - good writers grow through analysis of other work. This is where I’ll post my analysis of poetry / short stories / longer texts that I read. I also like to see how the work I analyze finds its way into my own writing without my conscious awareness.
Archive - Where I’ll keep works in progress that are in hiatus, projects I’ve completed, and concepts that will be something someday.
Lore - All about my influences! Music / literature / video games. Enjoy, I had a lot of fun writing that section.
“Oh let me transcend.. I want to be ash in the atmosphere.
Please set me on fire.
Can you strike a match, make me disappear?”
