Bio
I've wanted to write since I was in the fifth grade and been too scared of failing. This is me, still afraid, jumping in anyway.
If you like things that are slightly spooky or slightly sad, come on in.

Summers in Georgia
My grandmother composes menus like symphonies, each hors d'oeuvre, entree, and accompaniment tabulated in 3/4 time. Preparation takes on a rhythm, and dawn is the down beat. Wake up, two, three; marinate ribs, two, three; fry bacon, two, three; slice grapefruit, two, three; scramble eggs, two, three; start the slow roast, two, three. There is a delicate dance of timing, such that each moment of the day is spent either cooking food or consuming it.

More Toppings Please! Why Dungeons and Dragons is like Cheese Pizza
In 2024, beloved tabletop roleplaying game Dungeons and Dragons will be turning 50 years old.

On warm spring and summer days, not a sign of scale or snout can be spotted in the thick green forests of the valley floor. The best time to find them there is late autumn through the heart of winter, when the chill forces their usual prey into warmer boroughs. The great lizards can be found nosing into hollow trees and underground dens all across the snowy landscape. Accustomed to being the hunters, not the hunted, it is not difficult at all to catch one of them unaware. The real trick, Peter knows, is killing one before it has a chance to turn its teeth and claws to the fight. Novice hunters rarely survive more than a few seasons if they don't learn that vital little skill. Peter learned it at his uncle's elbow as a boy, and has been a drake hunter for decades now. Edward, on the other hand...
