Writing may be a lot of things, but is it "tactical"? Here, I'll explore the details.

Influence is a word that has been bandied about quite a bit over the last few years, but what is it, exactly? In this episode, I explore artistic influence, what it means to me, and a few personal examples.

What was hipsterism exactly? And what did it have to do with a magazine devoted to a minimalist aesthetic? This episode will take a look at some of the cultural phenomena that brought this publication into being.

In this episode I look at the roots of a genre I didn't really get into as a kid: early 2000s pop rock a.k.a. the Nickelback sound. Was it actually that bad? Along the way, I'll look into elements of similar genres like I did in the previous episode, so it feels fitting to call this part 2.

A look back at one of my most creative influences, music. This episode won't focus on the particular music, but how I listened to it and discovered it, and what impact that's had on my life.

What happens in the creative process between private expression (journals, diaries, conversation) and public? A rambling look into the heart of the process.

This is a reading from my current webnovel project, "Summer In The Ring", a scifi story centered around ace/enby characters. Feel free to give it a read at: summerinthering.wordpress.com
