I wrote this poem for my wife to read at our sons kindergarten graduation: It’s been such a joy My sweet little boy Just seeing you learn and grow The things you will see And the person you’ll be Will be wonderful baby I know #poem #poetry #amwriting #parenting #graduation

Here’s another photo from my Black Bridge photo session. Random junk on the side of the train track. Thought there was some beauty in it. #photography
First beta reader finished my book already! They said it was gripping and they kept wanting to know what would happen next. They loved it. #wip #writingcommunity #writersky #writing #author
I did a whole session taking photos on my Nikon Zf on Monday. The best photo ended up being the 0.8MP one I took on my Leica Sofort. 🤷♂️ #photography
Call me paranoid but all these people online who ask for a premise or a short description of your book make me feel like they’re gonna plug that into AI to make a bootleg copy of your idea. #writersky #amwriting #writingcommunity #wip #author
Seamus’ bread adventures are a warm glow of light in this dark timeline we find ourselves in.
Recently I had the amazing- and yet very bizarre- experience of going to Xbox HQ as a visitor. I had been invited by Asha, who is very cool it turns out, to have a hike and hang out a bit. I’ll probably talk more about that another time. But first let’s talk about microorganisms.

My azalea is popping! Also I found this bumblebee who was struggling and I moved him here. #photography

I give 160 f*cks in my manuscript. What is your opinion on swearing in literature? #WIP #writersky #writingcommunity
Happy #Friday everyone! The main character in my story drinks Manhattans and in her honor I’m having one tonight! What does your MC drink? #wip #writingcommunity #writersky #writing #author
When you are one of my beta readers, you get a thick brown envelope with my manuscript in it, and your name written in blood red ink on the outside. #WIP #writingcommunity #writersky #writing #author
I was taking photos this winter of my kids throwing snowballs and I caught a glimpse of this ephemeral midair heart. #photography #love
Bluesky world! I just typed the last words on the first draft of my novel! 75,313 words, 57 chapters. It is a #thriller/#horror story and a gruesome tale of revenge. This is my 6th book, but the first one I am going to try and get professionally published. #writersky #booksky #writingcommunity #WIP
I think my new marketing strategy as an author is to just post photographs and art and hope people notice in my bio that I write books. More of a soft approach. Trying to push my books on people makes my soul ache. Here are some more pictures from the New England Aquarium. #photography
I like this picture from the New England Aquarium a lot. I feel like it captures the space well. #photography
Only believing in things that have been proven by science is a denial of reality. In order to be a scientist you have to believe there is more to prove. #science
Closing in on 70k words! Just over 10k to go. Should be done in the next couple of weeks. That is 101, 11pt single spaced 8.5x11 pages. Feeling really good about this story! #WIP #writingcommunity #writing #author #writersky
Been trying to get the spiciest Indian food possible. This is the best I’ve achieved on my own without the help of an Indian friend. #food #indianfood #spicyfood
First draft is about 80% done! Sometimes on long projects, at this point I just want it to be over, but I am enjoying writing this book so much I don’t want it to end. Can’t wait to share it with people! #writersky #writingcommunity #author #WIP #writing
