After a Four-Year Hiatus, My Fifth Nanonovel

Zuck

Cerebral Writing

A professional micromanager with words, I keep having a hard time writing blogposts suited to sparking and maintaining a conversation.

Silent Hill

Are You Afraid of the Dark? (Running By Night)

There must be a reason why I keep doing such things.
