21 ~ Party of the Century

Jul 21st, 2019 23m 40s

Back to business with Episode 21, with probably the easiest story idea I've tackled so far. Party of the Century is short and sweet, taking so many tropes and ideas from teen fiction and trying to spin an original story out of them. Talking poi

16 ~ Legend

May 19th, 2019 25m 50s

Finally we're back back back again with a brand sparkling new episode! In this one I do my best to drum up a story out of a narrative that's nearly three years old. But we get up, dust it off, and re-jig it into something readable. Talking poin

Feb 23rd, 2019 35m 3s

“That same cold and aloof manner that seemed to be building a stone wall between us that was getting higher and higher with each second we stood here leaving the things between us unsaid.”I think one of the rawest lines of dialogue I’ve ever wr
