I have proof. I wrote a story called ‘Cavegirl’. It was inspired by a trip to New York City, and specifically by the rocks that lay about Central Park. Here is a photo from yesterday. Amazing that a city this big has a park so majestic in the middle of it. Central Park used to…
It’s Fun Wordle is fun. Sex is fun. ‘nuff said. You Feel Compelled to Do It Every Day… …but this doesn’t mean that you have to. You want to have a go every single day, and there’s clearly opportunity for a fresh attempt, but there is only so much time, and you only have so…

You are only as good as the last ten words you spoke before going to bed. _________________________________________________ Appreciate everyone who read my last story. 4000 words and a difficult thing to go through but you guys are awesome.

Just, you know, insight into my writing ‘process‘. And leave it to Catastrophe Jones to remind me that I’ve already written about a hairy woman. This particular hairy woman is…
