Below are all the blog posts I've written, from newest to oldest. (If you're checking here to see any new posts but don't see them, do a hard refresh by hitting ctrl + F5. Neocities is weird like that.)
I originally started blogging on Wordpress, and you can see those old posts copy/pasted here.January 23, 2026
So, in addition to posting Outcasts and Rebels on Inkitt, etc, you can now read it on this site! I made the serial its own special section, with a front page and a table of contents to jump in from. I also plan on adding an additional page with more detailed information on the characters and world some day. Today is not that day.
So far, the first three episodes are up. I plan on posting a new episode at the end of every week. (Thursday? Friday? Saturday? It depends on what's going on with me every week, though I'm aiming for Fridays.) It's been a tedious process, but I'm hoping it'll get easier once I get used to it.
So, yeah, check it out here!

I wrote a big long thing and I thought it saved but it didn't so I lost it and now I have to retype everything!!! So y'all are getting the short version now.
Basically, this week, I've started posting a new story, Outcasts and Rebels. It's less of a novel, and more like a TV series. It's somewhat episodic, with storylines starting up as other storylines end. I wrote a wonderful, detailed explanation on the story itself, but because I lost all that and don't feel like retyping it all, I'm just gonna include a copy/paste of the synopsis at the end.
I plan on posting a new "episode" every week, broken into 2 or 3 parts. (Because each episode is anywhere between 4.2k and 7k words.) I'm gonna keep doing that until I stop having fun with it. Then, I'll write up a proper ending.
Also, I'm thinking of dedicating a portion of this website to it. Like, posting the actual episodes on here every week too. It seems like it would be kinda fun. But I'd have to figure out a system for it, and how I want to do it. Or if I even want to commit to something like that... It'll depend on how complicated such a thing would be to do on a regular basis.
But for now, you can read it on Inkitt, Royal Road, Scribblehub, and Purrfiction.
Synopsis below:
Ordinary people with ordinary problems living in a future the US is headed towards.
The Free States of America was formerly part of the United States, before it divided into four separate countries. Not only is the FSA overwhelmingly fascist, with laws and attitudes reminiscent of the 19th century, but the problems that have plagued humanity for centuries still remain. Unrequited love, petty arguments, corrupt cops, social gatherings, and the occasional small-town drama.
Gilran, Jefferson is part of the FSA, and this slice of life dystopian soap opera focuses on the everyday lives of six citizens. Jake Williams, the justice-hungry son of a businessman from a far-left country; Maple Henderson, a rebellious teenage girl fearful of her inevitable future as a housewife; Sebastian Barstow, the mayor's scandal-prone son; Axel Bremmer, a levelheaded mechanic struggling to survive; Stellaluna Callahan, a chronically bored woman married to a billionaire; and Luke Lindberg, the single father of a 5 year old girl.
They might not be able to overthrow the government, but they have their unique ways of rebelling, even at the expense of becoming outcasts.

I've got quite a bit to talk about right now. But first off, Fantasy in the Office is now fully posted and completed on all the sites I posted it; Wattpad, Inkitt, Royal Road, and Penana. Not much else to say about that, other than I'm happy to finally be done with something I started damn near ten years ago now.
Now, for bigger news. After much thought, I have decided I'm done with Wattpad. I plan on keeping my profile and all my current work up on there. I might log in a few times a year to see what's up. But I will no longer post any new stories there. For a couple reasons.
First off, they've made a lot of changes over the years I've disagreed with. And I've never gotten over the fact they nuked their forums. Not only did I have fun talking to some cool people on there, but it was the way to find readers. For me, I would go there to find open book clubs to join, which, basically, members of a book club would take turns reading other member's books. People would advertise openings for their book club on the forums. Now, if you want to join a book club, you have to actually try digging through the book club tag and see if there are any actually active, much less open to new members. Which, good luck! (There were also other ways to find readers that can only really be done via forums, but I don't remember how. I was always doing the book clubs. I don't know how the hell you're expected to get readers on Wattpad these days if you're not already popular.)
Now, I should jump in and say I've long stopped caring about gaining readership and watching analytics and I don't plan on getting published ever. (The reasons why deserve its own blog post.) I'm happy to get the views and readers I get. I like it when people read and like my stuff. But I loathe the crazy amount of effort and advertising you have to do to gain a following. It's not worth it to me. I'd rather spend that time actually writing. And writing the niche, unpopular things I like writing. To get readers, you often have to watch trends and write accordingly. Which sounds depressing as fuck. This is just a fun hobby for me.
I'm starting to veer off topic... But this ties into my main reason for quitting Wattpad. I get next to no reads on Wattpad and the only comments I get are from people trying to sell me (likely AI-generated) comic book art. Now, I've always understood that if you want to get reads on Wattpad, you have to work for it. Which I was able to do well enough, back when they had forums. But the fact is, on other writing sites, I can throw a story up, and get a few reads without trying. It's not a lot of views, but it's a lot more than I get on Wattpad. So, compared to my experience on other sites, posting on Wattpad feels like a waste of time. It's kind of sad, because Wattpad was the first writing site I joined, and I have a lot of happy memories with it back in 2016-2018. But those days are long over, so it's time to move on. (Maybe I'll return if they bring forums back.)
Speaking of leaving sites, I'm less sad to announce I probably won't post on Penana anymore either. Although I do get more reads on there than on Wattpad, the spam comments were out of control on FITO. Almost every chapter I'd post, I'd get 1-3 spam comments advertising comic book/art services, or how they can help my work reach an audience, or some AI-sounding comment about how good my story is and can I please talk with them more on Discord~ (Obviously a scam, especially when one is pushing me to create a Discord just for them.) Although the problem seems to have died down on FITO, I don't know if it's because more action is being taken against them on the site's behalf, or if they just like targeting books with less chapters. Regardless, I don't feel like dealing with those. But I will say, I am more likely to post a new story on Penana than on Wattpad. But I'm not planning on it anytime soon.
With those two sites scratched off my list, and something new coming soon, I signed up for ScribbleHub, and PurrFiction. I don't know what to expect with either of those sites, but they seem to favor long, ongoing serials. I am currently working on a long, ongoing serial. So I'm gonna give those two sites a try. And I am definitely going to continue posting on Inkitt and Royal Road. (Especially Inkitt! I like it the most, even if I do get more reads on Royal Road.)
In more positive news, I've been working on a long-running web serial called Rebels and Outcasts. I like to think of it as a dystopian soap opera. I have about 20 "episodes" written so far, and I plan on continuing it until I either get tired of it and come up with an ending, or if an ending naturally crops up. I'm trying to write it in a way where you can jump in and start reading at any chapter, because this thing is going to reach a point where it'll be overwhelming for new readers to catch up. It's got over 117k words so far, and there's so many other storylines I plan on adding in, as I wrap up other storylines. I hope to start posting it early next week on all four sites I just mentioned, so stay tuned!

I have finally, FINALLY, after damn near 9 years, posted the "sequel" of Runaway with Faye. It's called Fantasy in the Office.
It was originally supposed to be an ongoing, episodic slice of life story featuring characters from a fantasy world trying to fit in to modern day America. I started it back in 2016, I think? But then I stopped it because, I decided to write the backstory of these fantasy-world characters instead. Partly to help me write this story, and partly for a fun prequel for people who would enjoy this main story. Instead, I got depressed halfway through posting Runaway with Faye, and it took me three years to get the whole thing up. And then, I stuggled getting FITO done. Since it was originally supposed to be a never-ending slice of life type of story, and I did not know what I was doing back then, it ended up being one big mess of problems I couldn't figure out to fix. I left it untouched for a long time, but finally figured out how to fix aforementioned problems. And now, it is done! The first two chapters are up on Wattpad, Inkitt, Royal Road, and Penana. I'll probably post two more chapters this week, and next week I'll start posting one chapter twice a week.
Since it was originally supposed to be one, big story, and RWF the prequel, it can be read on its own. It's also a little different from Runaway with Faye, with a new cast of characters. (Though one of the two POVs is Jyri's. Faye and Ran are also present, and a few characters from RWF make appearances.) There's more humor in this one, along with office shenanigans. It's more slice-of-lifey, but nowhere near as much as originally planned. I had a lot of fun writing it, and I hope people have fun reading it.
Also, fun fact: The first nine sentences of this story have never changed after all these years and edits. And the entire first chapter is pretty much the same chain of events with a few edits. The same goes for chapter 3 and chapter 4. But everything else has gone through lots of changes over the years.
What's kinda funny is that some of the ideas came from my last job, which I quit 7 years ago! And I first started writing it on a laptop I haven't used in 8! Time flies.
September 19, 2025
So, tonight I posted the last chapter of "Runaway with Faye" up on Inkitt and Royal Road. While I haven't edited the sequel as well as I would have wanted to, because I've been distracted with a new WIP, it's good enough to start posting. I've got a cover and a blurb in the works. I'm taking a trip next week. Assuming I survive the plane rides, I plan on posting chapters of the sequel when I come back. So, the week of September 28th. I might drop four in the first week, and then upload twice a week after that, but it'll depend on when I officially start uploading. (There's two scenes I want to align perfectly with the week of Thanksgiving.)
It's (probably) going to be called "Fantasy in the Office," and it can be read as a standalone. It's going to follow Jyri, Faye, and Ran (characters from a fantasy world) struggling to blend into modern-day America. They manage to get office jobs. There's a couple of characters who try to figure out where they came from. They all get a new, asshole boss who makes their lives hell. The portal they went through that they thought was closed, actually wasn't closed... Lots of nutty stuff happens. Stay tuned!

Yesterday, I posted the first two chapters of Runaway with Faye on Inkitt. And today, I remembered I have a Royal Roads account that exists, and decided to post it there as well. The only problem with Royal Road is, they take time to approve stories. And if you've posted a story somewhere else you have to put a note in the description of the story on the site you posted it on. Very understandable and smart, honestly. I did that though, so hopefully there won't be any problems with approving it. I might start posting future stories there first to avoid having to do that, even though I never use it and I don't even think anyone's ever read the one story I have on there. (Then again, the site's audience apparently favors fantasy so maybe RWF will have better luck than Russell and Sal did.) Also, I made some minor changes to the story here and there. Nothing major, and most of it is in the earlier chapters. I'm probably going to replace the chapters on Wattpad and Penana with these updated versions.
Anyways, I plan on posting two chapters a week. I haven't decided what days, but this will mean I'll have the entire thing posted on Inkitt (and probably Royal Road) by the middle of September. By then, its sequel should be either ready, or close to ready, to being ready to post. Actually, that time of year would probably be the perfect time to post it, because the story takes place in November! Okay, I'm going to aim for the goal of posting around then. Maybe October. There's a Thanksgiving-related scene in it and it would be kinda neato to have that scene get released on the week of Thanksgiving... I can't believe I up and made this decision in the middle of writing this post! (Assuming I don't end up making a major change that leads to me deleting the scene altogether. But that probably won't happen because it's actually very relevant to the story. Plus it was very fun to write!) Actually, I just checked and the scene is all the way in chapter 20 so maybe I will have to post it in, like, late September. (The stars really are lining up perfectly with this.) That goal is very reasonable for where I'm at in the editing stage.
Yes. I have made the decision in the middle of writing this blog post. The sequel will be posted in late September!
Update: It's now been approved on Royal Roads as well!

I'm trying to test out how I'm going to blog on here. And organize posts. Without having to do any complicated coding. So here we go!
I'm dumping wordpress.com for this place. Apparently there's also a wordpress.org which is supposedly better but I really don't care. I've enjoyed using Neocities as a personal website (though I never blogged on it). And it just feels more my style. I don't know how to make it so people can comment on here, but nobody ever commented on my Wordpress and I doubt that would be much different here. Maybe it'll be better I don't make comments a thing on here. That way I can express myself here as freely as possible without worrying about people posting mean messages about it.
I already feel a bit better posting here instead of Wordpress. Like, Wordpress kinda feels a bit too professional for my tastes. I know authors are supposed to have professional websites and junk. But I write mostly for me. For fun. For free. I don't feel much of a need to actually get professionally published. It would be kinda neato to see my books on a bookstore's bookshelf. But bookstores are dying these days. We just lost a Barnes & Noble here a few months ago. Getting money would also be neato. But it also costs money to self-publish, and I'm not good enough to sell enough copies to break even, much less profit. And traditional publishing sounds kinda meh cuz then I might not have full control over my stories. Or feel pressure to make changes I don't want to make. And I might have to go back to acting professional!
Back to the point. Right now, I'm making each blog post its own page. But that feels like a hassle to make people click a link to each post. It's, like, I want it to be a continuous line of blog posts like on traditional blogging websites. But then it'll be too much scrolling unless I split it into pages. But then how will that work unless I manually move blog posts all over the place? I'm sure here's code out there that does the job for me. But I'm not advanced enough for such things. I had a hard enough time making this site look nice on desktop while being legible on mobile. I'm not good at coding! Like, when I was doing my personal Neocities website, I had to look up solutions to so many problems I came across. And I swear. No one knows how to explain this shit like I'm five. They'll be like, this line of code should work. Or, edit this to be this. And I'm just, like... does that go in the CSS style sheet or the actual page??? What section on the page do I put it???? I have to play guessing games and end up making everything worse! And then pull a miracle out of my ass that gets it working. God, people who actually know how to code would probably laugh if they saw what my code on there looked like! Shit's being kept simple here though. I'd like for mobile users to be able to read all this.
Anyways, I think I'm going to have a system where, I post each entry in its own html page. But I'm also going to copy and paste the post over to a sort of master page? Where I'll have all my posts show up on one page that people can scroll through without having to click on anything. But I'll sort it by year. So, one master page is going to have all the 2025 posts on it. And when 2026 rolls around, I'll make a new master page for all my 2026 blog posts. If that makes sense? I'll list the years for people to click on in the main blog page. Or something. If I even need to do that. I don't do a whole lot of blogging. Or, I didn't on Wordpress. That could change on here. Which is why I'm being so prepared. I'd hate to treat this like I'm only posting once a year, only to end up posting once a week! Or worse- day! (Strongly doubt it'll come to that though!)
