Sun lips, lemon love me down
into hell, a landscape, revved
can’t wander, can not wonder
anymore, sun kiss, lips lemon tart
love me in hell.

Latest Release “Fraud” Now on SoundCloud
Back in May, I got my hands dirty and started making music. I played around with a free trial of Ableton, bought a MIDI keyboard, and a microphone. I messed around and had fun mixing samples together. I also got an audio interface so I can hook up my guitar and record stuff (I have yet to do this but I am planning on doing it asap).
So far I have posted four original tracks on Soundcloud, amateur artist right here. This is all for fun so I can get my feet wet and experiment. If you have any free time I would love to know your comments and thoughts!
Influences/Inspirations: Sneaker Pimps, Cocteau Twins, Nine Inch Nails, Grimes, and FKA Twigs just to name a few
LATEST TRACK “FRAUD” (Released December 2019)

Daydreams dying
in bitter repose,
a skyline painted
obliterated
colors shine through
a mind emptied.

Failing NaNoWriMo 2019
November has flown by and I have failed NaNoWriMo this year. With only five days left of November, I have over twenty-five thousand words to write if I want to complete the challenge. My fiction piece ‘Jack’s Story’ is a baby, barely over seventeen-thousand words and full to the brim of unnecessary dialogue and weird scene cuts.
Am I okay with failing NaNoWriMo this year? Does it matter that I am giving up with five days left? (Hey, if I wrote five thousand words every day until November 30th, I may actually be able to complete the challenge) The answer: Yes, I am okay with failing, and No, I will not give up on ‘Jack’s Story’. It’s good, I think, and turning into an interesting crime/mystery/thriller. I do love my thrillers. It’s got a different flavor from my current novel that I have finished and I am polishing up with the intention of submitting to literary agents starting in January.
Even though November is ending fast, I am planning on finishing ‘Jack’s Story’ whenever that is, ideally by the end of the year. I can juggle working on My First Novel and this one. While I am working on these projects I am having fun reading a selection of books, right now those are,
