Motorways

She dug holes under motorways. It was almost a hobby.

Nobody was aware that she lurked down in the shadows, sandwiched between tarmac and nature, so nobody had ever asked her why she did it.

She had probably started as a child. A child trying to escape from the taint of some overwhelming fear or sadness that had slipped into her home. She had created a place where nobody could ever hear her cry,…

"Get Rings" by Geneva Hodgson

I don’t know what it is about this comic, but it has stood out to me since the moment I read it. It’s so simple. but at the same time it’s just very… I don’t even know the right word. It just makes me feel kind of quiet and makes me think.

My other blog is doing a thing!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

I’ll admit that I normally spend Valentine’s being a miserable git, but this year I figured I’d do something nice for it.

SO.

If anyone wants me to draw them something, send me a request through various means (ask, reply etc) and I’ll scribble something for you! I’ll be free to take requests for the rest of today, as well as various times over Saturday/Sunday, so take advantage of this WHILE YOU CAN.

I’d rather not do anything NSFW, but makeouts are fine, as is the spirit of the season. Although I’m not super experienced at drawing them. Hm.

If nobody wants anything then I guess I’ll play Starbound or something instead? Hurrah!

PEACE.

(Note: I’m a super slow drawer so this may be a really bad idea.)

Silence Falls (Part 1 of 3)

‘Come on! Run!’

Laci flinched as her voice reverberated around the small room. It sounded small. Unthreatening. Exactly the opposite of what she needed right now.

She had been, until a few minutes ago, what was known as a Prisoner of Discontent. A result…

Wrote a three part short story, the first part of which is here!

One of those things where you just want to get a phrase out of your head.

The Jump

Fog drifted away from my feet in graceful swirls as I walked, head bowed, along the uneven pavement. The grey shadows of fellow walkers passed by on either side; they nothing but shades to me, and I nothing but a shade to them. A raindrop ran down my…

2013 Wrap-up

First up, sorry I haven’t written anything here for a while. I’ve had a bit of a crisis of self-confidence over the last two months and it’s made it kind of difficult to get anything constructive done. I’m hopefully recovering from it now, so there should…

Thoughts on Overthinking

There are a lot of things about my psychology that I’m not particularly fond of, but I have to say that my capacity for overthinking things is probably the most annoying. I’m talking specifically in terms of story writing here, although it appears in…

Romantic Ponderings

I’ve always been kind of tempted to write a romance story. Not one of thosetypes of romance stories I feel obliged to add. Not that there’s anything wrong with that type of story if it’s your kind of thing; I’d just find it far too embarrassing to even…
