Bio
I think about writing more than I write, but call myself a writer as opposed to a thinker.

Changes
For some reason, the hair on his face grows brown, even when the hair on the top of his head is dirty blonde. He doesn't dye it. She's even seen pictures of him as a strawberry child. It didn’t make much sense, but it made him special to her. She dreamt of the day she'd walk down the aisle, and he’d be standing there, watching with tears in his eyes. She looked forward to watching his hair become grey with time. Now, her bed is empty, and her friend said that she saw him out at the bar, cleanly shaven.

I wrote a bookTop Story - May 2023
Around a month ago I finished writing a book. It's a project I started in July 2021, and it took me nearly 2 years to get a rough manuscript completed. From the time I started the book to the time I finished a complete rough draft, I earned a master's degree and moved almost 800 miles away from the place I called home my entire life. I often discredit my accomplishment because "I should have done it faster." But I often neglect all of the things I was doing in between, such as raising a toddler and working odd jobs to get by.

Skinwalker
The snow outside had footprints, but I couldn't hear a soul in the silence of the night. The full moon rose above the hills, and the sharp sensation of cold ran down my spine. When I turned my back on the wilderness to go back inside, I saw a reflection of myself staring back at me, but this person had dead eyes.

Being Laid Off Sucks.
I graduated with my bachelor's degree in May of 2020 - In the middle of a global pandemic. That sucked. A lot. There were no jobs available in my desired field, so much to my dismay, I started working at restaurants again while I sent out applications on Indeed by the handful.

Why I prefer E-readers
I love books, and I have a lot of them. I even collect antique books of all kinds: from algebra textbooks printed in 1841, to relatively unknown fiction from World War II. However, I can't bring myself to read traditional books very often, and here's why.
