December 2nd, 2020 I like to dig deep. When I’m dead and gone, you may force yourself to read or listen to something I did to try to understand why people are calling me “a unique talent who was taken too soon.” (I don’t really know what that is or how that doesn’t describe everyContinue reading “L/A/Y/E/R/S”

Let’s Talk
December 1st, 2020 Do you write a blog? Do you articulate articles for a website? Are you a constant content generator? Do you have your own podcast? Because, if so, I have an idea: PLEASE INTERVIEW ME. As we navigate this second lockdown, I find myself with time on my hands and still looking forContinue reading “Let’s Talk”
Bee The Difference
November 24th, 2020 Do you know the difference between a wasp and a bee? It started as something simple but substantial. Basically, wasps are carnivores. A long, long time ago, a wasp woke up and decided to try out a vegetarian diet. It found that plants could not only supply all the nutrients it needed,Continue reading “Bee The Difference”
Introduction Version.2021
November 20th, 2020 This may be your first (or might be your one thousandth) time here, but it’s been a minute since I introduced myself, and I want this greeting to be updated for 2021. So, hi.

Brushfire: Coming 2021
November 14th, 2020 Even though I’m exhausted and anxious and just not having the best year, I am also excited and pleased to announce my next project, my first all-ages graphic novel — Brushfire. This story has been a long, long time coming. It started when I was a kid. I loved a lot ofContinue reading “Brushfire: Coming 2021”
Silver Linings My-Books
November 8th, 2020 2020 has seen a lot of dang clouds, but there are always silver linings to be found.

The Weirdos is a graphic novel about a collection ofContinue reading “Silver Linings My-Books”
O, Nostalgia
November 6th, 2020 Nostalgia is a powerful thing. It can transport you through time and space. It can trap you in pocket dimensions made of moments. It builds worlds from smells and sounds and feelings you had never felt before or since. I’m the kind of person who can feel nostalgia before it happens, whileContinue reading “O, Nostalgia”
HOPE
November 3rd, 2020 2020 has not been a hopeful year, nor one that has particularly cared about our plans or dreams. Despite this, a few people have reached out to me and said that I could probably write something great about hope. You kind idiots. I disagree with that sentiment. I have been holding onContinue reading “HOPE”
Kindness Sticks
October 29th, 2020 I’ve been pretty quiet lately, and I have no interest in adding to the political discussion. I’m also not the kind to give direct advice, but I do have something to say during this last week of the election. What I’ve learned, especially over the last few years, is simple: when yourContinue reading “Kindness Sticks”
No Matter What
October 21st, 2020 During my high school years, at least once a week, my mom asked me if I’m gay. Spoiler alert: I’m not. But she would make sure that I was sure. And when I would reaffirm that I was not gay, despite being an absolute nerd who loved theater and musicals and dressingContinue reading “No Matter What”
