Over the past two years, while I have written fiction here and there, it has not been the primary focus of my non-work time. I have one novella that I am publishing in (probably) April or May, The Village of Strong Branches. I have another that will be ready to publish as soon as I … Continue reading A Few Writing Thoughts: Evil, Empty Jars, Fallow Earth

Looking Back at January
As I write this, snow is making dappled patterns on my windows as clumps catch in the screen while the wind blows and heaves outside. It's an exciting close to a month that has gone well, a time of renewed and deepening connections to the Gods, and a time in which I have honed in … Continue reading Looking Back at January
Wrapping Up 2021, Embracing 2022
The way 2021 went did not correspond to what I actually set down as goals at the beginning of the year. I knew it would be a strange year, especially after I returned to hybrid work in August after working exclusively from home since lockdown started in March 2020. During the pandemic, I have set … Continue reading Wrapping Up 2021, Embracing 2022
Acts of Speech Is Out
Acts of Speech is now out and in the wild in e-format. The print is a bit delayed due to the pandemic, although I now have a UPS tracking number for proofs, which is a serious improvement over my previous lack of knowledge regarding where the print version was in the printing process. Tracking numbers … Continue reading Acts of Speech Is Out
More Poetry Book Updates — Shared from Pangrammatike

Apologies to anyone who has seen this multiple times. 😅 For many months, I have been working on a poetry collection. If you have ever asked, “What is a … Continue reading More Poetry Book Updates — Shared from Pangrammatike
The Waterfall Commune — Pangrammatike
On my writing/conlanging blog, I decided to post a short story. Here's the intro text I provided, which should make my reason for cross-posting straightforward. The link to the story is below. Enjoy. 😁 This is a short story — 6,200 words — about a group of young adults in their 20s who decide to … Continue reading The Waterfall Commune — Pangrammatike
Throwing Out Old Journals
When I was perusing my old journals to look for content — and when I ultimately decided to release them back into the Earth — on Thursday night, I noticed a few things that surprised me about myself when I was younger: In my mid-teens, I wouldn't eat until I showered and prayed, and I … Continue reading Throwing Out Old Journals
Poetry Project Updates
A while ago, I mentioned that I would be working on a poetry chapbook because I want a nice, bound version of some poems I've written over the years so I can more easily access them on the fly. This is legit happening, so while I usually spend time here offering practical advice about shrine … Continue reading Poetry Project Updates
What Does One Transmit?
This is something Proclus wrote in his Parmenides commentary that I rarely go more than 2-3 days without thinking about. Proclus is commenting on that part of the Parmenides (at 128d) where Zeno describes how awkward it was to go viral with a philosophical thing he wrote as a young man — someone stole a copy of … Continue reading What Does One Transmit?
