I can’t remember how it started but in high school, I spent two summers painting murals in the town I grew up in.

I'm just an obsessive maker of things who never quite finished that art degree. My library has a solid chunk of pulpy science fiction and a wide range of reference books.
I can do most anything, just in a workmanlike fashion.
Apparently, this includes writing. So, I'm going to do my writey stuff over here. Lookit me go.
Old OCs
For all that I loved Batman, it was the X-Men that I made an OC for. I’ve shared some things about her before, but not the original comics, out of embarrassment I guess. I think after 20+ years the statute of limitations on embarrassment in old work is up.
First and Last Lines
Chapter three of Wonderbook by Jeff Vandermeer is about beginnings and endings, with some illustrated pages sharing notable first and last lines. It made me think of the possibilities of using it as a text in a class and what exercises you could implement beyond those included in the book itself. What are the first and last lines of books and stories I love?
Haven’t been writing, have been reading
I’m reluctant to read writing process books, but my mentor from the SFWA recommended Wonderbook by Jeff Vandermeer, a book I 100% would not have picked up and am now excited to own.
Some comics from moving.
We finished moving in June but finishing these comics got put off a couple months, thanks to the whole process of moving itself. I finished them though, and that’s what counts. Originally published on Patreon in an early-release to patrons.
