So I'm streaming my writing sessions on twitch now. I couldn't find a text editor that looked pretty enough, so I'm using Sonic Pi for now. That way, I can also make a little music for my sessions in addition to the visual bells and whistles. It's a pretty interesting experience, having folks watching me... Continue Reading →
It’s Been a While
Hey, folks. I've been quiet for a long time, but I'm back. It's been a long, dry winter here in Albuquerque. It's finally starting to warm up and it's time for me to post another update on stuff. 2018! We made it! First things first, I got the first edit of my novel back from... Continue Reading →
NaNoWriMo Starts!
It's been a while since I've posted. I've been busy trying to get my first novel done before November so I can participate in NaNoWriMo. Yesterday, I completed the first draft of my first novel just in time. Now, I'm working on my second novel. It's basically a story about a man who lives next... Continue Reading →

Writing a Dream
Here's another dream scene from the novel I'm working on. Again, this is first draft stuff and will probably change a lot by the time the novel it out, but I thought it was cool enough to share now. It's loosely based on a dream I had about my grandfather just after he died. Anyway,... Continue Reading →
New Poems
The time in between books seems so long at first, but it goes by quickly. Here are some poems I wrote this week. They're not the same style as what will be in my next collection, but I think it will be cool to read these now, and then again after finishing the journey that... Continue Reading →
Laura’s Poems: Inspired by Twin Peaks
All of my poetry books, so far, have been a pretty good snapshot of a period in my life. "Couch to Couch" was written when I'd first moved out on my own, met my wife, and started taking writing courses in college. "That Which Gets in the Way" is going to be a ride along... Continue Reading →
When Titans Pass
I've been writing poetry for something like 20 years now. I started writing as a young boy in Hawaii and continued as I traveled the U.S. with my parents as my father hopped from job to job. It helped me express the loneliness and what comes with moving around a lot. These days, though, I... Continue Reading →
Poems from the Stream Two
I wrote more in one hour this time than I did in the entire stream last session! I had to cut it early, but I think I got some alright stuff. I was in a weird mood, so some of this is kind of playful. Posting this kind of unpolished work is a bit more... Continue Reading →
