I’ve been digging through my archives for works that I never got finished or had been forgotten and posted as much of it as I could find here on this site. There isn’t as much as I would like there to be, but there are more than a few pieces I was able to salvage. There’s a laptop out there somewhere with work on it I may never see again, but that’s okay. The next great American novel isn’t among those forgotten manuscripts.
I’ve posted the works that I’ve deemed fit for viewing, even if they are all nearly incomplete. The Ant Farm is the only piece I’ve been working on in some capacity as of late, and I plan on putting up chapters on a regular basis. Some of those chapters already exist, and others will be willed into existence soon.
The Hotel St. James is a piece of southern Gothic fiction that I started back in my last year of college. I’d always wanted to finish it, and I think having it here will give me the impetus to do so. I’ve divided it into parts for the ease of writing, but it’s the lengthiest piece I have posted, coming in at about 18 pages or so as it stands now.
I’ve also created a section for short stories, of which only one currently exists. Swan Song was a piece that of mine that I was quite proud of when I first wrote it, but it certainly doesn’t hold up. It’s written from a place that was not wholly understood by me at the time. There are plenty of things I would do differently if I were to write it now, but that would be unfair, nor do I think it would be remotely the same kind of story. It’s a product of youthful cynicism that has since been exorcised from my mind. Still, I hope you’ll give it a look if you so fancy.
I hope you find something here engaging, and if you like what you read, let me know! I’d rather work on something that people are interested in than not. Until then, I’ll keep on plugging away and get some more work up here as soon as I can.
