Poetic Musings
Thank you for taking this literary journey with me! Here I post personal thoughts on social issues, reflections about day-to-day living, and of course a healthy amount of stories inspired by the many games I’ve played over the years. I try to update several times a week, and genuinely appreciate the care and support of all who read these words, whether the post is fanciful or heartfelt.
The Where to Start page has great suggestions for first-time visitors, and all posts are sorted by the Categories you see in the right-side menu; feel free to narrow things down!

Gasping
The lake was choppy, with the tops of waves and swells turned white by the sharp wind rolling off the mountains, but our small boat cut through them with ease. I leaned back and stretched my arms, having just ceded the steering wheel to a friend. Her life jacket was...
