Hello everyone.  I think I mentioned it before, but when life changed a few years ago, and circumstances had us moving from Los Angeles to St. Louis, I started learning coding.  When we moved to Chicago, I started a graduate program in Computer Science with an emphasis on Game Development.  It’s been far more math and coding than I had originally expected, but I still think that it’ll be a good vessel for story-telling.  Now that we’ve moved to Seattle, I’ve reduced my class load so I could work on a game of my own.  It’s still a long way from finished, but if you’re interested in video games or game development, I’ve started a dev blog on my game company’s website:

I’ll still pop on this blog from time to time to give updates.  The short film based on my short story “The Assistant” is nearly finished with post-production, and I can’t wait to share more information about it when I have it.  I also do plan to get back to writing regular fiction at some point, but it’s on the back burner for now.

I’d address this letter to you, but I know it won’t be read by you.  I can’t claim that I don’t think about you often.  And I miss you more than words can say.  Most of me understands that I’ll never have you back, but part of me still believes that I can.

I often find my mind drifting to the past.  I think about the times when everything seemed great.  Happiness seemed abundant, and the future was full of infinite possibilities, nearly all of them good. Continue reading →

Just sharing because I think it’s neat.  It’s been a rough year, and I haven’t posted nearly as much as I wanted to.  Hopefully things will smooth out and I can get back to where I was.

Thank you to every one who stops by here.  I hope that you all have an amazing 2016!

I’m pretty sure my existence has turned into a lifetime movie:

A writer living the good life in Los Angeles must move back to her hometown to take care of a cancer riddled family member. Her everything is tested as she must bring a mentally disabled old man into her home, return to working a 40 hour a week job, reconnect with old friends and family, face challenges at every turn, and try to make a life in a place that she left long ago…

It’s definitely a drama.  I miss the good ol’ days when I lived a situation comedy.
