About this Space

Hey there, reader. Pull up a chair. Get comfortable. Maybe grab a cup of coffee or tea—this is where I explore the strange, the surreal, and the stories that live in the spaces between waking and dreaming. This is a place for the curious, the night owls, the dreamers, and anyone who's ever wondered what's lurking just beyond the edge of reality.

What You'll Find Here

TV Critiques & Analysis

You'll find me writing about Abbott Elementary and Haunted Hotel, diving deep into what makes these shows tick and what they say about us as viewers and as people. I love dissecting the layers of storytelling—the character choices that seem small but reveal everything, the plot threads that weave together in unexpected ways, and those moments that make us laugh or gasp or both at once. These critiques are where my analytical side comes out to play, where I get to unpack why certain scenes hit differently, why we connect with specific characters, and what the writers are really saying beneath the surface. Don't worry though—I promise to keep things interesting and never lose sight of the joy that brought us to these shows in the first place.

The Forest of the Forgotten

I'm deep in the world of The Forest of the Forgotten, crafting book one of what I hope will be a series that pulls you in and refuses to let go. It's a universe where the line between lost and found gets delightfully blurry, where things that should stay forgotten have a habit of remembering themselves, and where the forest itself might be more alive than anyone realizes. Writing this book has been a journey into the woods I'm not sure I'll ever fully emerge from—and honestly, I'm not sure I want to. I'm documenting that journey here, sharing pieces of the world I'm building, the characters who've taken up residence in my mind, and the discoveries I make along the way. If you love fantasy that leans into the eerie and the unknown, you'll want to follow along.

3 AM Poetry & Night Thoughts

At 3 AM, when the world goes quiet and the monsters come out to play, I write poetry about them. There's something about that witching hour—when you're not quite sure if you're still awake or already dreaming, when the house settles in strange ways and shadows move differently—that brings out the creatures living in the corners of our minds. I give them words, shape, and sometimes even sympathy. These poems are love letters to insomnia, conversations with the dark, and portraits of the things we only see when everything else falls away. They're raw, they're weird, and they're written in that liminal space where logic takes a backseat and feeling drives.

Short Fiction & Peculiar Tales

I tell short stories about knowledge-eating beanies and other peculiar creatures that probably shouldn't exist but definitely do. Where do these ideas come from? Sometimes I don't even know. A thought will strike at an odd moment—what if a beanie could eat your memories? what if loneliness was a tangible thing you could hold?—and suddenly I'm off writing a story that makes perfect sense in its own twisted way. These stories are bite-sized pieces of weirdness, the kind of tales that make you tilt your head and wonder "what if?" My fiction tends to wander into the unexpected, taking left turns when you expect right ones, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Expect the absurd, the touching, and the uncanny, sometimes all in the same paragraph.

Desert Communities & Night Vale-Inspired Content

If you've ever loved the peculiar charm of Welcome to Night Vale, you'll feel at home here. I explore similar strange desert communities through critiques and fan fiction, where the mundane and the supernatural shake hands and refuse to let go. There's something about those small, isolated towns—places where everyone knows everyone, where the radio station plays a little too long after midnight, where the dog park might not be what it seems—that captures my imagination completely. These are places where anything can happen and usually does, where community bulletins warn about things that shouldn't exist, and where the locals have learned to live alongside the inexplicable with a shrug and a knowing smile. I write about these communities because they represent something true: that weirdness exists everywhere if you know how to look for it, and that sometimes the strangest places are the ones that feel most like home.

Dreams & The Unconscious Mind

I'm fascinated by dreams—where they come from, what they mean, and why our sleeping minds conjure the things they do. What makes us dream of falling, or flying, or showing up to school without pants? Why do certain images haunt us night after night while others fade before we even open our eyes? Why does the logic of dreams make perfect sense until the moment we wake up? You'll find me pondering these mysteries between stories and critiques, trying to understand the strangest theater we all visit every night. I explore dreams not just as random neural firing but as stories our minds tell us, as messages from parts of ourselves we don't often hear from, as doorways to creativity and understanding. Sometimes I'll analyze my own dreams, sometimes I'll write fiction inspired by that dream-logic, and sometimes I'll just marvel at how beautifully bizarre our brains can be when we let them off the leash.

Why I Write

This space exists because I believe in the power of the weird, the value of the strange, and the importance of asking "what if?" I write because the world is full of mysteries worth exploring, and sometimes the best way to understand reality is to step sideways into something that isn't quite real at all.

I write because storytelling—whether it's analyzing someone else's story or crafting my own—is how we make sense of the chaos. It's how we find meaning in the mundane and magic in the everyday. It's how we connect with each other across distances and differences, recognizing pieces of ourselves in characters who've never existed and situations we'll never face.

I write because at 3 AM, when the world is quiet, the truth comes out a little more easily. Because fiction can tell truths that facts can't quite capture. Because there's profound joy in creating something that didn't exist before. Because the monsters under the bed deserve their stories told too.

Who This Space Is For

This space is for anyone who likes their fiction a little weird, their analysis thoughtful, and their late-night thoughts put into words. It's for people who've ever felt more awake at midnight than at noon, who find comfort in the strange, who believe that the best stories are the ones that make you see the world a little differently.

Whether you're here for the critiques, the creative writing, the poetry, the book updates, or just to see what happens when someone writes about knowledge-eating beanies, I'm genuinely glad you're here. I hope you'll stick around, explore, maybe even leave a comment or two. This is a conversation, not a monologue, and I'd love to hear your thoughts, your own weird ideas, your 3 AM musings.

So welcome. Make yourself at home. The coffee's always on, the weird is always welcome, and there's always room for one more reader who appreciates the strange and wonderful.

Let's get strange together.
