March 16th, 2021 Preordering for Time is a Solid State is now available! This project ended up being a much larger task than I was anticipating; what I thought would be maybe 300 pages ended up clocking in at 451 paperback pages, with almost 60,000 words (and an average novel will top out at 40k).Continue reading “Time is Coming”

Famous Last Blurbs
March 15th, 2021 This is going to be the last substantial post I make for a while, because this is the last post that’s going to make it in the book. It’s weird because some of you will read these words on a screen and some of you will read them on paper, and thisContinue reading “Famous Last Blurbs”
Needle Reset
March 13th, 2021 This morning when I got to work, “Kyoto” by Phoebe Bridgers was starting on the radio when I shut off my car. I worked from morning until close, and when I got back in my car, “Kyoto” by Phoebe Bridgers was starting up. Like I had never left the car at all,Continue reading “Needle Reset”
Culture Club
March 11th, 2021 I don’t believe in “Cancel Culture.” I’m not saying there aren’t people out there who want things removed or ended because of their subjective views. I’m saying I don’t believe in the phrase “Cancel Culture.” It’s made up. Used by a group of people to further seed divide in a world that,Continue reading “Culture Club”
Found in Space
March 9th, 2021 More and more lately, I find myself in space. I’ve been feeling the everyday plaque of stress and anxiety building up faster and more frequently; I know it’s due to a complex constellation of reasons. Not that understanding it helps. To find myself out, I have to place myself outside. Way outside.Continue reading “Found in Space”
Two Become One
March 5th, 2021 What if you’re not really a person? What if you’re actually just two concepts? Two ideas with frequently oppositional magnetic poles. Imagine two circles. I label one “Your Ideal Self,” and the other “Your Actual Self.” Now imagine that from birth to death, all you do is push and pull these twoContinue reading “Two Become One”
Apples to WAP
March 4th, 2021 A teacher is explaining to her young student how to properly compare things in order to increase understanding. “What is WAP?” she asks the child. “WAP is an explicit hip-hop song whose target demographic is a mature, adult audience who appreciates both the genre and the subject matter,” the young man repilies.Continue reading “Apples to WAP”
new lights
March 4th, 2021 People like to say they appreciate good weather. In my experience, most people only remember to appreciate it when it threatens to change. Late-fall patio guests braving near-freezing temperatures. Grown men wearing short shorts in February. Anything to get just one more day in. When I was driving towards home on theContinue reading “new lights”
Po-Tay-Toh, Po-Tah-Toh
March 2nd, 2021 *Sigh* The best thing we can do is learn something, right? Generally, on the internet, the people I hear complain about something the loudest are the exact same people who say everyone else complains too much and are too easily offended. The Potato Head Scandal is the closest to actual satire ofContinue reading “Po-Tay-Toh, Po-Tah-Toh”
You Never Forget Your First (Unless You Actually Sort-Of Do)
March 1st, 2021 I read a lot of interviews with creative types. I can’t help but compare everything I do to everything everyone else does (and I don’t recommend it, especially when the stuff you make is as weird as mine). My brain is always blown when people can recall the exact issue of theContinue reading “You Never Forget Your First (Unless You Actually Sort-Of Do)”
