I'm writing new short fiction this summer! I'M GONNA DO IT! WATCH ME NOW, HEY!
Support me with a tax-deductible donation to Clarion West, of any amount, and I'll send you weekly updates on my progress.
UPDATE 05 Jul 2023: Wow, thanks to several generous supporters I've already passed my original fundraising goal, so I'm increasing it!
WEEK 1: Worked on a draft tentatively titled "Dick Pictures Please," still figuring out the ending and overall theme. Also had an idea for the opening scene of a screenplay concept that I've been kicking around for a few years, so maybe I'll poke at that next?
WEEK 2: wrote a poem
WEEK 3: noodled on a collaborative project based on this Instagram post
