Some days it's much harder to get going than others. It makes me wish for a teleporter, really. If I think about it, the toughest part of any activity that has become difficult for some reason is starting it. Putting on the ol' exercise pants, chopping up the bell peppers for hummus, or getting in …

It’s Been a Minute!
This blog post is the equivalent of walking into a dormant office that has had much of its furniture carted away. What remains is sort of scattered haphazardly around and there's a pretty definite layer of dust over everything. Also probably some stains on the linoleum and that weird brown splotch on the ceiling panel …
Catchy fun title!
Lately I've been thinking about finding platforms other than this blog to document my health sojourns. Perhaps something more audio-visual would do the trick. Starting a Youtube channel or revamping my nearly defunct Instagram for the purpose or podcasting. There are a lot of benefits to documenting things publicly (sidenote: I just forgot how to …
Eff it.
I started writing this entry several times, trying to delineate my feelings of weird creative crisis. I'll still outline them but I'm going to try not to wallow in them. The bullet points: -I feel like I have no real creative ideas or outlets right now. Just a stew of Doing Nothing. -Any inkling toward …
Head Above Water, Kid.
I keep intending to write fiction stuff on this blog. You know, the usual fanciful stuff that no one will really read but is really self-indulgent good fun. I could definitely use a dose of escapism right about now. However, it seems like the only words that want to come out are words about my …
The Struggle is Real. Like, really real.
Hello, friends. I've been struggling lately. I've been struggling with emotions, with my depression, with the usual familiar demons Comparison and Not Feeling Like I'm Enough. The best part about these two is that they feed off of each other perfectly like some sort of shitty ouroboros. "Wow, I'm terrible. I bet no one else …
It’s running, bitches!
So. Running. We've had a complicated relationship, running and I have. I've identified with Anne Perkins and her assessment that "Jogging is the worst! I know it keeps you healthy, but God, at what cost?" I've started and abandoned Couch to 5k more times than I care to admit. In fact, I've recently started it …
Part one
The blade of the rusty cutlass rested at Nira's shoulder where the cloth of her shirt gave way to her flesh, as though the sneering unwashed brigand who wielded it at her back were performing an oath of fealty. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see the prince sprawled unmoving nearby. She …
Brushin’ Off the Dust
Woo, it's been a little while, hasn't it? Recently I've been grappling with something that always seems to be lurking in the ring, ready for me to grapple with it. Emotional eating. I used to think to myself "I don't emotionally eat! I eat when I'm hungry, that's it." I was not very in tune …
Letters out the airlock
It's time to put self deprecation aside and just use this space to write stuff, like I had originally planned to do when I made this thing a year ago. This'll just be a barrage of nonsensical fiction-y writing from here on in, so expect a lot of that. Uh....I dunno, I'm not here to …
Where The Hell Did I Put My...
