Writing can be such an elusive high. There's the thrill of being in progress of course, and the cosmic release of actually putting something out into the world, but if you're not careful, you can crash. I'm prone to it -- in 2022 I spent a lot of time feverishly hammering away on something I … Continue reading Being Excited About Writing Again

Taking a breather (and getting back to it)
Somewhere along the way -- maybe amidst some very heartfelt responses to stories like The Fish of the Desert and Cat Fisher -- I found my standards being raised. There are a few stories on this site that maybe don't live up to what I want to do but for the most part everything I … Continue reading Taking a breather (and getting back to it)
Long time no see – an update
I had such huge ambitions going into this year. My early releases on Amazon were successful beyond my expectations and they motivated me to keep working. I managed to get The Princess Awakening written in an impressively short time, and had hopes that I could repeat the trick several times throughout the year. Well, the … Continue reading Long time no see – an update
The Problems with Cloning
I thought I was being so smart. I didn't really think it through, and things went bad really quick. Back in Fall of 2021, just after I published Kristi's Mom, I participated in a scientific experiment in creating fully functional human duplicates -- a clone, which would have all of my memories and identity. I … Continue reading The Problems with Cloning
Gumming up the Works
Hey gang. While I am hard at work on my next downloadable fic, there's a bit of business I would like to address. A year ago when I entered the world of paid downloads, a friend recommended Gumroad as a platform. It seemed very much on the up-and-up, offered favorable rates, and was easy to … Continue reading Gumming up the Works
The Next Day
At the begnning of last month (September) I uploaded the finalized version of the novel I had been working on since the launch of this site in spring 2020. There was a kind of funny symmetry to the timing. I could officially round up and say that I had been working toward it for a … Continue reading The Next Day
Recent Happenings: The Art of Liam
Something I've done lately is launch a Deviant Art account. I don't think I'm a stupendous artist by any means - I enjoy putting pencil to paper and find it soothing to create something that matches, or exceeds, the image in my head, but I am stupendously limited (seriously not looking for compliments or reassurance … Continue reading Recent Happenings: The Art of Liam
Changes Afoot… and other parts?
If you only look at my site here, you haven't heard from me in a while. I surprised myself by getting the story "Statues" uploaded just before Halloween (it's not really much of a "Halloween story" but it would have been cool to do one) and that was it. I didn't even make good on … Continue reading Changes Afoot… and other parts?
Pause: An Update
Over the past few months I have been a bust little bee, working as diligently as I can on my big project while also living my life. As a consequence, postw on this blog have slowed to almost nil, so I thought I would talk a bit today about what's been gooing on and what … Continue reading Pause: An Update
Some Words
Well well well! After all this time, I have returned with a new short story. But before I get into that, I thought I might, you know, blog a little bit. 2020 has been a tough year for all of us. It feels like it is constantly inventing new ways to step on our collective … Continue reading Some Words
