About Me
Born and raised in the Inland Empire — and in retreat from life since high school, taking menial jobs for sake of social invisibility. I'm a total recluse at this point, scuttling between my nothing-job and my nowhere-apartment. Costs aside, there's freedom to living this way. No friends, no family, and no expectations. Some loneliness and a lot of solitude, modus vivendi. It's all still more laughs than not, and gratitude's a strong current out of the doldrums. Thanks for stopping by.
Type of Writer
Undisciplined, unpracticed and unpolished. An amateur in the literal sense; writing's an engaging and welcome diversion.
Writing Style
Messy, derivative, driven by impulse rather than productive habit. I take endless notes to avoid actually writing.

"...but there is a space of life between, in which the soul is in a ferment, the character undecided, the way of life uncertain, the ambition thick-sighted; thence proceeds mawkishness, and all the thousand bitters..." —J.K.
