Writing has been a hobby of mine for years, so I'm just thrilled to be here! As for me, I love writing, dogs, and travel (only 1 continent left! Australia-.-)

Tonight
Tonight, I am a failure. Except that’s not true. Tonight, I am an idiot. Except that’s false. Tonight I am a disappointment.

Hello from Away
Did the morning post arrive yet? Did you receive my thoughts? I know that they, like me, are far from your everyday, But still I hope they made it safe.

For Critique: Parasocial
I took a vacation to Korea in May 2023 and it was amazing! I went as part of a TrovaTrip package with a content creator I admire and had one of the greatest travel experiences of my whole life.

For Critique: Crossroads
I first started writing Crossroads a month or two ago, and though I love the idea, I haven't been able to find the prose for it yet.

Ode to Journeys Taken Together
100 miles seems pretty far. But you and I, we don't measure like that. 160 kilometres, perhaps? No, they won't fit our purpose either.

Descent: A Community Story Challenge
Note: the following is based on a continuation of “Community Story” prompt presented by most excellent fellow Canadian Donna Fox. I have picked up the story from where she left off, just before the group enters the mysterious temple. If you’d like to join us in the fun, check out the prompt in the link below :)

Where the Moon Goes
The old upright clock struck nine. Thomas flinched at the sound, knowing perfectly well what came next. Sure enough, with a light step and the smell of something called perfume, she came into the room.

99. Content Warning.
Dearest child, Today I learned about you and I thought my heart might just burst out of my chest. You come to us as a wonderful surprise. Your father and I weren’t expressly trying for you, but we also weren’t taking any precautions. When you read this letter, later in your life, I want you to understand that from the earliest moment we knew about you, you were desperately wanted.

Breathe
Stop. Just for a moment, Take a step back and wait. Wait for the rising of the sun. For the twinkling of the stars. The moment you need to heal.

Yours, Nick. Honorable Mention in You Were Never Really Here Challenge. Top Story - July 2023. Content Warning.
Watching as the unmarked drone flew away, anticipation made Spencer’s fingers tingle. He loved getting mail so much that he was one of the only people he knew who still regularly sent or received letters. Several of his friends happily engaged with him in this hobby, one even going so far as to get them matching fountain pens and traditional letter paper as a Christmas present the previous year.

Saga of Bjorn Halgripson
Dry leaves rustled as the enormity of the dragon slithered over them. Smoke reeked in its nostrils, a smoke that was nothing of its own creation, a smoke birthed from a foreign fire.

Music on the Wind. Content Warning.
Drip… Drip… Drip… Blood fell from the tree. It pooled beneath the swinging legs of a man who was dead. The others did not bleed; their bodies hung dry and desiccated, swaying in the breeze. The ropes that held their necks creaked in time with the limbs of the tree as they swung.
