For Sale
Anonymous recently asked on a messaging site to meet me in real life. The individual offered me $450 and when I said they had misread the situation, offered more. I was clear about saying no. In the end, I decided to delete the account and stop engaging. I am privileged in that I am a…

Blocked
I had a confusing thing happen recently and I wanted to write about it. An individual responded to a story of mine on Instagram with a note that they clicked on the Reddit link in my profile and were “not sorry. Amazing work.” We had a very pleasant and superficial exchange about my writing, and…

“Dreaming of You” in Podcast Form
Recently, VA Benji2049 voiced the male character in my audio “Dreaming of You.” He asked if he could feature the audio on his podcast, Benji’s Erotica and ASMR, and I was so pleased to say yes.

Writing about a Dream
I don’t typically explain the thought process behind my stories, but for some reason I feel compelled to do so with my latest. It’s called “Dreaming of You.” Last year, I bought a small home built in 1950. The previous owner had lived there for 50+ years, had raised a family there, and then sold…

I’ve written and spoken a lot about my reasons for writing and recording, and how I try not to pay attention to the metrics involved to measure success for myself. I have managed to be satisfied with my creative journey, for the most part, so far. Recently, I had an experience that really shook my…

So Far Away
I’ve recently returned from a trip to Europe, the first vacation I’ve taken alone in many years. I noticed some things on this trip. Some of these observations may be obvious to you, but some you may find helpful. Happy travels, you badass.
