Writing

Although I had previously been published for art discourse & reviews, performance scores, and poetry, I began writing in earnest in 2020 during Covid, when my Fording the Styx story appeared in 101 Proof Horror.  Nowadays, I mostly write horror, RPG styled fantasy & speculative fiction, poetry, and the occasional memoir or review.  And every so often, I’ll cough up a performance score for old time’s sake.

As with my art, I like to push against traditional methods & structures in my writing, often bringing voice to my ideas through alternative forms and meta pieces that engage the reader in different ways.  I have written fictional stories as help-wanted ads, news articles, and complaint & resignation letters.  I have formed poems & social commentary in the guise of recipes, signs, pamphlets, and the like.  I have penned reviews as monologues and serial hero’s journey sagas.  And I have used intentional misspellings & grammatical errors as commentary on how we interact in person & online, as well as a myriad of other explorations.  Essentially, anything and everything is fair game in my book, literally.
