April 2024 Update

Time has been flying by a mile a minute here so I thought I’d make a quick update before the month is completely gone. It’s been a wild time. Between my academic work, fiction writing, DMing, and life I have been running a little ragged this month.

Gittin Er Dun

There are many talents of modern creativity that are difficult for me even decades into the craft. One of my glaring personal hardships is having trouble finishing projects.

2022 Update

I said in my last post that I wasn’t going to do much but heal. So I made a movie, wrote for a magazine, taught a college course, and started watching every rubber suit monster movie ever made. So, you know, taking it easy. Now, each of these subjects deserves its own blog entry. However, I won’t promise that I will. Because, you know, taking it easy.
