March 15th, 2023 Any ride you survive was worth taking; eventually you’ll take one you don’t. If you’re a normal human who does regular person things (jealous!), you probably don’t read everything I post (and if you’re a weirdo who does, okay, I see you, too). So if you missed it: back at the beginningContinue reading “Because It Kills You”

Raising Them
March 8th, 2023 Ugh. I’m going to take a break from a week in which I finally got back my stolen car, nearly two months after the incident, only for it to try to kill me and have to be returned for further repair, to keep talking about my debut novella, Them. In what placeContinue reading “Raising Them”
Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing Review
February 20th, 2023 I finished Matthew Perry’s book this afternoon, and I have a lot of feelings about it. If I were the kind of person to share my feelings, I would do that here, but I’m just not that guy. jk. Let’s get to it. I want to start by saying it is notContinue reading “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing Review”
The Lines I Can Clear
February 18th, 2023 One of my first addictions was a cartridge called Tetris. If you’ve never played the game — okay, you’re lying, but I’ll bite. In Tetris, tetrominoes (geometric shapes made of four connected squares) drop from the sky and it’s up to you to move, rotate, and place them on the way down.Continue reading “The Lines I Can Clear”
String Theory
February 15th, 2023 I often have to repeat to myself that the world isn’t more tragic; we are just made more aware of all the tragedies. And tragedy becomes a kind of string we wear around our finger. I have extended family who are going through a personal tragedy right now, losing their father, myContinue reading “String Theory”
How Time Got Solid
February 9th, 2023 There is no point to writing on the internet. What does it really matter? What does it accomplish? Does anybody actually need it? Because I love doing things that nobody asked me to do, I write on the internet. I started taking it seriously in 2017, or as serious as I canContinue reading “How Time Got Solid”
Caption This
In my first post about Online Writing, I addressed why I do the things I do. (Tldr: I’m an idiot.) Now I want to talk about when and how. I was once a regular internet user, just like you. I would quote cringey song lyrics, use cringey language, say cringey things about my cringey feelings,Continue reading “Caption This”
SKP 2023: Online Writing & Unproduced Work
February 1st, 2023 Welcome to February. It’s just as damn cold as yesterday. It is also a brand new monthly topic on my Sleeping Kitty Productions 2023 calendar: Internet Writing & Unproduced Work. And I’m going to start with a big question: Why the hell do I do this? By that, I mean: what isContinue reading “SKP 2023: Online Writing & Unproduced Work”
All the Wrong and Dark Things
January 31st, 2023 Today is the last day of Origins month, and I sincerely want to thank anybody who’s been reading. A better explanation of why I’m doing this (and why I do anything on the internet at all) is coming tomorrow, the first day of a new month, and a new topic. Going throughContinue reading “All the Wrong and Dark Things”
Panic at the Distrust
January 23rd, 2023 I’ve had some real revelations this week on my issues with trust. Growing up, I was generally untrusting. I struggled to articulate why. I had clear reasons: bad things happened to me. Bad things happened to people I loved. People talked about bad things other people did to them or, still, otherContinue reading “Panic at the Distrust”
