Just me trying to write a book over here while the world keeps falling apart. God damn it must have been a lot easier to do art before the fucking internet.

Writing a sequel to a book is challenging. Especially when you never planned the story to continue. Yet, here am I, doing it for the second time!

"Not again. Not again. Not again. The thought circled like a prayer, as if denial was enough to move the world."

Past trauma makes for bad decisions. Especially when monsters are involved. See how bad things can go when guilt and revenge are in control in RED WALLS.

The bob is back! Hair regrowth has been a surreal experience. Abject paranoia, relief, excitement all packed up on one emotional torture rollercoaster. Pharmaceuticals and yoga and dumb hope. My collection of hats (and tattoo) aren't going anywhere... just in case.
