Two Places(an old STL throwback article)
I do remember those days, back in my Childhood When you’d take me after a long day at Meramac Springs, and the whole truck would smell like bait, fish(all the trout we caught) and coins(you’d always have mountains of coins in your truck)...

The Building
It was a tall building, not a skyscraper, but certainly about as tall as the likes of a New York skyline. It’s sort of brutalist style and design, slabs and stacks of concrete stacked upon each other like a seemingly endless stack of crooked blocks, was indicative of what it represented.

Role-play
We played to be different people, without ever touching—-we kissed, without ever holding one another, we fell into a deep shared breath, collapsing and carrying our weight into the ongoing part we each needed the other to be, and completed our first dream date through living someone else’s life.

My top three Most Influential male protagonists
I love these people, and they mean a lot to me in many different ways from different parts of my life. The fact that they are male is my main source of inspiration for the way I write, and these people and their stories is just another huge example of why I love to write in this perspective.

My three top influential female protagonists
As an accompaniment to my recent article here: I also wanted to share with you all my top three most influential female protagonists in literature. As a result of myself pushing my limits and the way I write, including how I used to limit my own perspective to only male driven narratives, I feel that having good examples of female protagonists are something any writer can use as a character and writing reference.

Extra tracks to focus my feelings
These tracks mark my childhood and my teenage years, and kept me feeling grounded, at peace— because the sounds and the lyrics and the moods they represent all felt like me at one point, and my childhood specifically. Now, I listen to them as an adult in retrospective review, in a deep conversation with my past, in peace with my mind about traumas and fears I’ve had before I became an adult.

How WandaVision got us through COVID-19
I’ve never been too much into Superheroes. I like anti-heroes, like Hancock, or even the band of misfits that made up Watchmen (graphic novel), but even then, most of the time, I was more into romances, foreign films (Japanese horror films like Infection by Masayuki Ochiai and French films like Amelie and The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie) and the occasional anime(Princess Tutu and Elfen Lied).
