Out of Town
I am driving to Jackson Fall’s in Shawnee National Forest for a rock climbing trip. It has been sometime since I have been to the wonderful land of rock, trees, and streams. I wont be reachable at this time and will be home on Sunday, March 31. The contact form emails don’t go to my phone, this is to avoid spam, but I will check my email once I am back in town. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Read MoreShort Story Additions
I have added short stories to the website. It is important to note that these are lightly – I can’t stress this enough – edited pieces. While I was creating the excerpts for these posts I noticed some writing that didn’t make me proud. However, I think it is important to add these because they tack substance to the website. Due to the fact that I am working on my manuscripts – these are more important that short stories – I haven’t had time to edit the pieces.
I use short stories as a way to keep my mind creative while editing pieces. So enjoy them but understand that they are raw. Between my MBA program and my other works I can’t dedicate too much time to the editing processes for short stories. Otherwise, I would get nothing else done. Nonetheless, enjoy my foray into some new and different styles of writing.
