Why Writing Saved Me When Nothing Else Could
There was a time in my life when everything felt like too much. The noise in my head was deafening. The weight in my chest never lifted. The world felt distant, blurry, too fast or too slow—but never right. I couldn’t find the words to explain what I was going through. I couldn’t make sense of what I felt.

Shadow Dancer
I've lived a pretty rough life for a good portion of the time I've been alive. At the time I didn't realize exactly what I was getting into. I've come a long way from who I was 15 years ago. I started out so naive, with no real world knowledge or experience because of how secluded and indoctrinated I was raised. So when my problems started after I moved out of my parents at 18, I really had no idea what I was doing, or that the choices I would make would ultimately destroy my life in many ways. Before I even understood the problem, the first domino had already fallen and started a chain reaction that would slowly turn my life upside down.

Salt in the Wound . Top Story - June 2025.
We don’t know what to do, so we write. That’s what we have to offer the world right now — our words, our stories, our art. And some days, it doesn’t feel like enough. Not when people are dying. Not when the news reads like a horror script on loop. But it does feel like something. A thread. A resistance. A way to stay human.

The Case for Killing “Directionless Verbs” in Your Writing: Enhance Clarity, Impact, and Readability
Introduction Clear and punchy language is key to making your writing stand out. When words fail to deliver specifics, readers can tune out fast. Have you ever read a sentence that felt vague, like it was missing punch? That’s often due to what I call “directionless verbs”—weak verbs that don’t tell you much. These common words sneak into many pieces of writing, clouding the message and dulling the impact. Removing or replacing them can boost your writing's clarity, make it more engaging, and make you sound more professional.

How To Save Money in 2025
1. Set Clear Financial Goals Before you can save effectively, you need to know what you're saving for. Break your goals into short-term (emergency fund, vacation), mid-term (car, home down payment), and long-term (retirement, children’s education) categories. This clarity will help you decide how much to save and where to allocate funds.

13 – a chapbook of poetry.
I wasn’t expecting a message from the past. Not one wrapped in a plain cardboard mailer with my name on the return label. Not one that would arrive on June 13 — the very number I once named a book after.
