My CLMOOC friend, Wendy, had sent me some manuscript music she had composed for clarinet, and suggested I might try to do something with it with my saxophone. But I found it interesting to interpret…

Sometimes I wonder if trying to draw is why I haven't progressed as an artist. Like the DRAWING part specifically. There are so many art styles and mediums to try. I've always felt so much resistance…

I did a longer series and since I’m held up on doing the fermentation section of the subsistence worldbuilding post, so I thought I would do a redux of a sort on this series.I’ve done the…

Looking up, Tengo saw two moons floating in the sky. One was the familiar large, yellow moon he had always known. The other was a smaller, irregularly shaped green moon, like a misshapen twin. They…

No sleep lately. Something's in my house. I can hear it down the hall in my closet. In the shower while I'm brushing my teeth. In my brother's room, even outside. Its fucking messing with me, and…
