"If you wanted to excel at information gathering the way Viper did, you needed to be able to put on a charming facade and lie through your teeth as easily as you would breathe."

Making that final push to finish the first draft of my second book, and I'm constantly having to remind myself that the first draft is always going to be a hot mess, and that's okay.

It's much easier to edit a messy draft than a blank one.

Also me: *Stays up until 3 AM playing video games/working on book writing.

About halfway through the first draft of my second book project.

This piece is quite a bit shorter than my last novel, Specters, but it is shaping up quite nicely.

Me telling my friend about my next novel:

"Oh yeah, this project won't be as dark and depressing as my last one... It'll be darker!" 😀

It's a dark fantasy coming-of-age story, loosely modeled after the five stages of grief, that follows someone who can see ghosts made of human despair after a near-death experience as a child.
Thank you! I designed it myself.
I worked on some poetry to work through some of these chaotic thoughts as of late, and I thought I would share what I wrote, as is my First Amendment right.
