January 29th, 2021 People love to say a person “passed before their time.” What few like to admit is that every person dies exactly when they were going to. Everybody gets the same amount: exactly one life. Time is a solid state. From the beginning of time to the end, you can pick it upContinue reading “Solid State”

The Lighthouse
January 25th, 2021 There once was a dude on a ship. He didn’t remember how he got there. But he was in the middle of the sea, in the center of a storm that had been raging as far back as his memory could recall. The wind cut his cheeks and the rain soaked intoContinue reading “The Lighthouse”
Any & Everything
January 19th, 2021 Anything can be saved. Everything can be destroyed. These were two phrases I repeated in my head when I was still “in it.” I repeated them because I knew I wanted them in my first comic book, and because these words were keeping me alive. I spent a lot of time thinkingContinue reading “Any & Everything”
Come On (Up or) Down
January 7th, 2021 I’m about to get that kind of honest where it’s hard to look a person in the eyes after.

Intentions.
December 23rd, 2020 People complain about social media all the time, and I often wonder what those same people bring to it. A few days ago, someone let me know they talked to their mom because they read a post I made. A few weeks ago, a person I know celebrated a year of sobriety,Continue reading “Intentions.”
Fiction Hats
December 14th, 2020 Let’s talk about The Flying Squirrel. To start, I want to give my friend Natalie a super-special shout-out for weaving this wonderful knitted cap. I asked if she could make one with “squirrel ears like my comic book hero’s” and she didn’t trip a beat; it turned out better than I couldContinue reading “Fiction Hats”
I Managed To Celebrate Three Years of Sobriety in 2020
December 9th, 2020 Over the past three years, I feel like I’ve done okay. I wrote stuff. (Books, comics, songs, and over 60,000 words of blog material, to name some of it.) I did stuff (like go to conventions and concerts, on adventures and meetings). I thought stuff and I felt stuff. Like, really thoughtContinue reading “I Managed To Celebrate Three Years of Sobriety in 2020”
