this is a collection of unpolished, imperfect, messy snippets either from writing exercises or unfinished stories. I’m putting these here to document my progress as a writer, and to remind myself that writing is writing is writing — even if its not perfect.

currently working on my first interactive fiction.

the well of moons and souls

“Darkness surrounds me, so thick it clogs the senses – filling the lungs, smothering sight – and each swallow brings with it a plume of silver and rust. It is the smell of time, of things long dead.”

wow! if you made it to the bottom of this, here’s my most unpolished but longest work (~53K words!): The Hall of Masks. This is a “zero draft” I wrote in 2019 - it is very, very unpolished and mostly word vomit, but it was my first time sticking with a full-length story until the end of the writing process. If I can do it once, I can do it again!
