I write with a fountain pen. That means I use fountain pen ink. This means that fountain pen ink gets on my hands and won’t come off. I have a special inkwell for my pen so that I have minimal ink on my hands but still, some gets on there. I have worn disposable gloves... Continue Reading →
Omakesssssssssssss
I have put a modification on future copies of Dreamer and my upcoming debut dark fantasy novel, The Glassman. It's a single page but here is a glimpse of it: That's right! The middle section is now what you will see at the end of all copies, digital and print, of Dreamer and The Glassman.... Continue Reading →
Reveal, To Me: The Inspiration Behind “The Glassman”
I’m writing this because The Glassman is coming out – a work I am super excited for. Like Dreamer and other works, The Glassman has been boppling about in my head for about two decades (what I call “legacy stories” – stories that have been in my head for a really long period of time)....

Lined Up – Reviews and the Frustration of it all
My upcoming book, The Glassman, is in front of reviewers – or will be shortly – both big and small. Pro reviewers mainly but a few smaller ones here and there. It is quite the struggle. 1) First strike against me, I feel, is the fact that I’m indie. It does have a reputation of... Continue Reading →
Moar Ink
I said that only got two new inks in my last post about my new ink journal. I lied! I got more - and I also became very done with ink procurement because my brain said so. Shortly after procuring Monarcha's Cielo Cruel and Birmingham's Tesla Coil, I got Colorverse's a Cnc (Cancer zodiac) ink... Continue Reading →
New Ink Journal!
I designed, printed and handstitched a new ink journal because one didn't exist for the paper I use to write my novels and stories, Southworth. Fun fact about the covers: they were supposed to go on a journal I stitched for Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance ... but I lost them. Thus, he got... Continue Reading →
Ow, My Hand
I handwrite the vast majority of my works. I use a fancy fountain pen to do it. I write my works in one sitting. (My current record: 60,000 words in 7 days). I type my handwritten works almost right after into Zenwriter in roughly 2-3 days, sometimes 4. The works are usually typed in half... Continue Reading →
The AIs Are Coming to Get Us – Not Really
There’s now a growing grumble about AI now that it has hit writing. A chatbot can now pen your novel for you – not well but it can do it. SFWA has a list of Sci-Fi writers who has written on it – to be honest, it basically can be titled “AI & Writing: The... Continue Reading →
Non-Tech I Use
I talked about the tech I use to make my work and such. I also am very much old school in how I create (for example, I write long hand and bind my own journals) so let’s look at that. TWSBI 700VacR Pen, Extra Fine nib – I had such a hard time finding my... Continue Reading →
Tech I Use
Since I’m independent, this means I have to do almost everything myself. When I’m done writing the story and it’s about to go to book form, that’s also all down to me. If I were traditionally published, there would be others doing the work for me (and screwing me quite a bit out of my... Continue Reading →
