This post has been sitting more or less finished for almost a full year. Why it was never posted…your guess is as good as mine. I’m coming at this one without looking up any information to refresh my haggard memory. Let’s see how it goes. 851 words…   Sometime during my senior year of high school, I started writing a story about a high school student who ended up as the understudy of Christine in…

This ended up way more cryptic than I intended, but maybe I’m not quite ready to fully confess all my innocuous crazy in this purported safe space. 1,315 words…   I have contradictory feelings about fanfiction. On one hand, if I find something good written about a fandom I’m really invested in, I will read the shit out of it. And even if it’s not the greatest quality writing, I will still have fun with…

Twenty-some years ago, I wrote a story called Home For Christmas. (Started, beat to death, never finished.) 502 words…   I’m coming at this without actually looking up any Word documents. It’s old enough that it’s not just in the stalled folder, it’s levels deep in the archives. Without doing some digging, I don’t remember most of the character names, or how much I actually wrote for it, or what actually happened over the course…

1,769 words…   When I was digging around, trying to find origin details of Friends of Ledger, I found a document in the Fifth Sector files titled The Letter. When I read it, I remembered writing it, but I don’t have a clear memory of what it was supposed to be for. I didn’t use any names, so I can’t say for sure, but I have it in my head that it was supposed to…

It got long. 3,353 words…   Here’s some confessions. Sometime over a decade ago, when blogging was still a thing that people were doing on the regular, some that I followed started talking about a book series they were all really into. I got curious because some of them were people who didn’t regularly read much, so if it got non-readers to read…maybe it was worth checking out? So I got my hands on the…
