The following is from my personal journal, with names redacted to protect the innocent. I haven’t updated this (blog? Site? Garbage dump of the soul?) since fucking April, and not that anyone’s checking back for updates, I figured this particular piece of writing might provide some insight as to why that is.

The Sisyphus Shuffle
Saturday sunset, 04/20/24 (it was a lot more pink in person but the colors are still pretty) I have writer’s block. Sort of. I guess it depends on how one interprets “writer’s block.” When it comes to fiction, my hurdles are workable ideas, plot, and character development; in the realm of poetry, my obstacles are … Continue reading The Sisyphus Shuffle
The Magical and Maddening Properties of Time (Only Slightly Tamed By a New Special Interest in Spreadsheets)
Hello, gentle reader. It has been over a month since my last confession post, and while there hasn’t been much happening of note, I’m still frustrated with myself for such a span of silence.

I Cannot Today, and That’s Actually Fine
First of all, fuck whatever “blogs” are supposed to be, I’m bringing back the online journal. That’s what this is now. I was on LiveJournal, kids. The roots are deep, and who am I to deny them? Second, I began a new patient-doctor relationship today, and I wouldn’t really go talking about that on the … Continue reading I Cannot Today, and That’s Actually Fine
