You know how that Billie Eilish song goes? “I’m in love…with my future”? God, am I feeling that, every lyric of it. And not because I’ve been giving it a listen recently (in fact I haven’t played it in months). No, it’s because I’ve been … Continue readingDare I Fall in Love with My Future?
Wow; at a party I went to recently I think I found two girls’ “on” switches. 😄 I’ve never seen such expressions of happiness and excitement break free upon dancing with me like those two had on their faces, they had so much fun with … Continue readingGive Me Those “Take Me” Eyes…
Having slept it and mulled over it…I’m honestly going to execute what I’ve always considered “the nuclear option” and just relocate; pull the trigger and relocate to California’s South Coast. I intimated as much in my last post, but now I’m more sure than ever, … Continue readingPacific Destiny
Ah, another week, another update for the worldbuilding for the novel I plan to write. If I spared myself all these blog posts and just wrote it I might have a full-length novel by now. Oh well. 🙃 I’ve never been a pantser anyway. I … Continue readingA Diamond Baron Goes Green?
I know last May I doubted if I was going to be in the financial or head space to realize my long-held dream of going overseas (for the first time in my life) and seeing Europe come 2024, but now in August of 2023? I … Continue readingEurope: Should I Just Go?

I’m 29 and I’ve never had a girlfriend…or have I? After all, I vividly remember when my best friend (who recently moved away, but we spent four years together) was referred to as “your girlfriend” by an old lady who worked at a dance party … Continue readingMy Girlfriend, Unbeknownst To Me
I’ve finished my follow-up tale of Fia’s makeover and romance after “Orphans of Opry Tower” (see also my first and third posts on the topic) and it sprawled out to novella length. Yay me, I guess. But it does cement in the storyline that Fia, … Continue readingFia and Family: After Anacapa
I know this sounds so silly, but hey, unbeknownst to me yesterday was National Girlfriend Day. I spent it (in part) peeking into the nearest Pottery Barn store, an oasis of beauty where I can plunk myself down and imagine that I’m living my dream … Continue readingTFW No Pottery Barn Basket Girlfriend
I’ve already shared some thoughts on my concept for a follow-up on a plot thread in “Orphans of Opry Tower” (a story I’ve completed but not published): a character named Fia and her impending big makeover, along with her desire for hot sex and, above … Continue readingA Shipwreck Date in the Kelp Forest?
