Words
"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you."
- Maya Angelou
Everyone has stories to tell. I love creating images for my words as much as writing.
It's another layer of the story.
Humor
"Humor is a rubber sword - it allows you to make a point without drawing blood." - Mary Hirsch
Humor writing — because sometimes the only sane response to the world is to laugh at it. The absurd, the irritating, the quietly ridiculous. It's all fair game.
Long Form and other works
"The essay is a literary device for saying almost everything about almost anything." Aldous Huxley
Documentaries taught me to pay attention. Long-form writing is the same instinct — sit with something, follow the thread, see where it goes. Essays, reflections, and the occasional deep dive.
Children's Stories
"Children's stories are like whispers of magic that echo in the heart long after childhood is gone."
Unknown
Children's stories — the part of the work that gets to be purely joyful. Illustrated books, simple ideas, and the kind of wonder that doesn't need explaining.
Reflect
"We do not learn from experience... we learn from reflecting on experience." - John Dewey
The essays where I sit with the uncomfortable things — mortality, anxiety, the tension between who we are and what the world wants us to be. No conclusions, just honest looking.
Science Fiction Serials
"Science fiction is the most important literature in the history of the world, because it's the history of ideas, the history of our civilization birthing itself." - Ray Bradbury
An ongoing sci-fi series — Dr. Lael is human, K.D. is an android, and they're both trying to make sense of each other. Space exploration, technological ethics, and the occasional existential detour.
