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. As is standard for a young white man, I’ve read and fallen in love with Infinite Jest. I’ll never be as verbose, knowledgeable, or otherwise as DFW, but I do believe I write to emulate how his works make me feel.

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’m not as afraid as I once was. 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.
