today we are plucking the timeline strings of THE PRESENT to craft THE FUTURE. this is immeasurable power and dang is it exciting, especially if you can manage to tap into this cosmic truth. when you create today trot with this force behind you and craft the timeline that only YOU can make buckaroo

The lit world is having another one of its extinction level events with the loss of funding for so many lit mags and orgs but that's exactly why it's the right time to become a writer! Start screaming with us!

Star Wars Intro Scroll Episode IV It Was All So Stupid Seriously, you would not believe how stupid it was. Every day, unrelentingly, just the dumbest stuff by the absolute worst people. And what made it worse was knowing that we’d brought this on ourselves.

Short stories are pretty hard for me to write. I might have a couple more surfacing in the next year 👀 and these two or three are very likely the ONLY short stories I’ll ever put out, and I’m proud of and excited about all of them. So if you want to read a short piece of mine, jump on em! ❤️‍🔥

Very stoked to announce that I’ve got a short story in #flametreepublishing upcoming FEVER DREAMS anthology with a list of writers I am so proud to get to be a part of. The story is set in Iceland, and is about writers block and the ways in which it could make a writer… insane 🔪🩸

Thank you so much @briankeene.bsky.social @wrathjw.bsky.social you guys are so freakin cool, and this is such an honor ❤️‍🔥

The People’s Champ by Kyle Kouri We called Kofi the People’s Champ because he was the only manager at the Vide Hotel that didn’t care about us drinking on the job and, in fact, would sometimes hit joints with us in the bell closet.
