I thought it would be a cool idea to put together an article featuring my best stories as a quick reference. Some have been curated, and some have not. But I feel these are representative of my best work.

My first story on Medium

I was so excited to publish my first story on Medium! I was approached by the publisher of the now-defunct publication “The Innovation”. My first story was published, but not curated. I am still very proud of my first attempt.

Curated stories

I have added a few more recent stories that have been curated. I am proud of every one of these.

I’ve had a horrible case of writer’s block since the Medium Writer’s Challenge was announced. When I force myself to respond to a prompt, I lose my identity as a writer. Perhaps that’s a weakness on my part.

The truth is, none of the prompts inspire me in the least.

Who wants to write about death or work after the past year? And reentry is almost as bad. Can we say—depressing? All the prompts are “pandemic inspired” and that sucks.

Let’s be…

My therapist is raising my rate by 140% on August 15. I was dreading this date, but I’ve come to peace with it. In fact, I’m grateful.

Grateful

I am grateful for my therapist.

For four years, she has been an incredible source of support and healing in my life. I’ve processed a lot of trauma. …

Jodie Whittaker dealt with harassment from the moment BBCA announced that she would play The Doctor. I don’t blame her for leaving.

Haters will claim that she got her three seasons, but did she? At best they were brief and marred by the constant complaining of so-called fans.

In a show where the main character routinely changes bodies, gender and color shouldn’t be an issue.

The Ruth Doctor, played by Jo Martin? She was brilliant! I’d watch her too!

As a female lover of sci-fi and fantasy, it bothers me that women in these franchises deal with abuse, bullying, and…

I’ve been publishing low-content books on Amazon for a few months and learning the KDP system.

This morning, I got my basic author page set up. You can follow me here:

I can’t wait to start publishing more personal and original content!

I have an idea for an inspirational book featuring my photography. I also have an idea for a science-fantasy novel. That will be a first for me, so it’s a little scary.

Small steps!

Thank you for reading! I am also a graphic designer and photographer. You can purchase my work on RedBubble and support me on Ko-fi.
