Bio
I'm a creative writer in the way that I write. I hold the pen in this unique and creative way you've never seen. The content which I write... well, it's still to be determined if that's any good.

February: One Goal Accomplished. Top Story - February 2025.
Early February: I've completed the first of my 2025 goals! Ooh it feels good. I put together a list of writing goals for the year of 2025. Admittedly, I assume there will wind up being more that pop up throughout the year, but I wanted to put down some things that were most important to me, and then try to get through as many of those as I could. It was 16 different goals I jotted down, and I assumed I wouldn't get through them all. But I wanted to try to get through as many as I could. Give myself constant goals on the horizon to strive for.

Have you seen that Bounty Commercial?

Conference Margaritas
The conference was the same as every year, not necessarily boring, but predictable. Informative. A good enough time. People got to stay in a nice hotel for free, a week away in a different city. Simon scanned the faces in the crowd, many of the same ones he briefly saw last year too. Until his eyes landed on a new face. No, he’d never seen her before.

Stay Long Enough
A hot dry breeze rolled lazily past carrying the scents of the diverse meals of the street vendors. The clanging of their tongs on grills mingled with the boisterous laughter of the booze-soaked bar flies that had stumbled into the streets.

2025 Writing Goals
I wanted to try something a little different. I always have my writing goals for the day, for the week, for the month. They change from time to time, but I use them to try to finish stories and scripts by certain times. Some projects have deadlines, and some don't, so setting some goals helps me to keep up with a good pace.

Hot and Humid
This story was originally published on Medium. ************** The heat is all encompassing, the humidity is so thick that a being must possess a strong backstroke in order to navigate it, but the smell is heavenly. Hillary takes a deep breath; the humidity fills her lungs with a drinkable liquid. It’s steamy, earthy, almost a hint of something fruity. It’s lovely.
