I grew up in the Midwest in the 80s and 90s, often finding myself on the dirty low-pile carpets of Waldenbooks reading the newest Christopher Pike YA horror. I'm an avid lover of stories of all kinds, with a particular penchant for the things that go bump in the night. ...more

I step away - do something for myself, or read someone else's work. I'm a strong advocate for multiple hobbies, so if I'm really in a rut, I switch gears and make soap for a while (one of my other hobbies). Sometimes it helps me personally to have a notebook and look at a physical piece of paper to write stuff down. I try not to be methodical about it - I write in the margins, in different handwriting, I circle and highlight... etc. In fact, my notebook method has spawned additional stories I didn't realize were in my head.(less)

"2025 Edition Update:
Oops!… I Read It Again

Original 2023 review:
Fast, fun , and trippy. I DNF'd this in the past and the tail end still drags on reread but at least I finished this time. Worth reading, but overly reliant on Memento-style twists." Read more of this review »
