About me

I started writing when I was in Grade 6. I dreamed out fantastical stories about myself, my friends, my crushes and fictional characters where I was always the hero. Now I try and write about people I don’t like. There’s often a lot of myself in those characters.

Growing up I loved reading books that were as challenging as they were entertaining. I was constantly seeking harder challenges when it came to reading and I’d argue that my writing style tries to emulate that feeling. When I write something where I know it’s a little dense, but ultimately the intended message is there I feel accomplished.

As I’ve gotten older I’ve realized that it’s important to do the things you love even if they lay you bare for others. I hope these stories help you see the world a little differently, or if they don’t I hope they bring some entertainment for now.

Sometimes I feel like I’ve just started living now, but there’s nothing wrong with being a little late.

About this site

I started writing and publishing Substacks in 2023. By the end of 2024 I had accumulated a number of works I was truly proud of. This collection of stories and essays are the best of those. They are also edited to a finer point than my Substack and I’m proud of that process.

In the future I hope to be announcing more projects, but for now this will remain an online short form content host.
