Writings

I originally created this here blog just as a way to keep track of my writing and to provide some accountability for myself. Sort of a journal to help keep me writing. Lately, however, I have been posting to Zen Gaming IRL instead, for whatever reason. But to keep this blog from being totally dead, here is my current submission history. This represents all the of the stories I have written and submitted since late November of 2009. The only exception is "Tinni and the Chain" which I actually wrote a number of years ago. Also "Feeding the Grong" was partially completed earlier in the year, but I finished it in November.

This evening, I began writing yet another story called "Stone Breaker." I have noticed that even though my stories are all fairly unique and different, I keep dealing with the same themes: yearning for freedom, dealing with one's own failures, and resignation. So there you go. I have a message for the nerds of the world, I guess, and that message is, "Be free, understand that you are a failure, and resign yourself to your fate." Hmmm, sounds like a contradiction somewhere up on in there. Oh well.
