April Fools
Of course my second-first day of college would fall on April Fools, a holiday rooted in hoaxes and pranks. Being able to shift my career path and go to a “real” school (sorry Penn Foster) is a privilege I do not take for granted, but the imposter syndrome is already rearing its nasty face. What…

Short Story
Prompt: Author writes his own murder before it happens. “Yah, yah, yah.” I drawl to my editor who has been hounding me all month about my new project. He’s been practically down on his knees, begging for even just a chapter to show the publishing team. “I’ll send it to you when its ready, John.”…

I did not fail. I did not Fail. I did not fail.
This is what I have been telling myself every day, no, every hour since I made the decision to leave veterinary medicine and pursue a career in writing/English.

Commitment Issues With Books
Only once have I ever not finished a book I was reading with no intention of ever picking it back up. However, I have abandoned a few for years. The book in question, was a book a friend of mine’s dad had written. He was self-published and had under 30 sales in a few years.…

A little late in the month, I know, but I saw this idea and wanted to give it a try. I usually do not set specific periods of time to read a certain amount of books within, but I do have a bit of a schedule to keep right now. Currently waiting for two books…

Vegan Piroshkis
Not going to add a bunch of bullshit about family traditions and whatever else other people put in their recipe posts that no one reads. If they did read it, why is there a ‘jump to recipe’ button? The only thing I will say prior, is that I could not find many recipes for vegan…
