the obituary of innocence says do not comply
This was going to be a handwritten entry in my journal, but I think it will cause more beneficial ripples if I put it here. The blogging format will unavoidably alter what I say and how I say it, but that might not be a bad thing. Maybe I’ll know for sure 20 years from …
oh, and i published another book; or: i am terrible at the marketing business
LONG story short, Elfled’s story is out in the world. Considering how much I love her and what I went through to get her here, I truly am not doing her justice. Sorry, Elfled. But I missed the window of making this post part of my all-too-brief book launch, so we’ll have to content ourselves …

what do you call someone who stands by these statements?

tfw you realize you’re old but still gold
Okay, y’all’re gonna think the title is extra corny once you figure it out. In related news, it just occurred to me that we’re only a few months out from the 40th anniversary of the movie The Outsiders. And if you’re of my generation (again, I plan to write a longer post about that sometime …
books i read in 2021
So, this is nearly 8 months late, but here are all the books I read last year. 2021 was a great reading year for me. It’s funny — since the pandemic started, all of my bookworm friends tend to fall into one of two categories: they’ve been reading more than they ever have in their …
just a quickie
BRIEF UPDATE. Never mind the title. Git yer minds out of the gutter. I DID IT. I completed my 7-day “fast” from social media, TV, phone games, and sweets. Now comes the maintenance phase, which will last…I don’t know how long. I need to touch base with Josh about that part. But I will have …
