Thank you so much for having not one, but two stories of mine! I had a lot of fun writing this character and hope to revisit him again… @intrepidusink

I had a micro story published at Anomaly, edited by @PrinceGrimdark recently, & I have a drabble series with Saros SF @FusionFragment coming soon…as well as couple others I can’t talk about yet! As for the man from the Midnight Bazaar—I think he’ll be around 😉 @intrepidusink

When it comes to flash, I often like to structure my stories around a concept first. In Counter Offer, I knew I wanted to do something with alternate worlds and holes. From there, I let the story unfold organically, then touched up as needed! @intrepidusink

Hey! I'm so glad to be back. Well, he's chowing down on some food when...well, you'll have to read for yourself! intrepidusink.com/counter-of… @intrepidusink

The next story finds our narrator having his period of rest & relaxation cut short – interrupted by another kid who found himself in dire straits, but make sure to check out part 1 first! Only @intrepidusink intrepidusink.com/somewhere-…

I wanted these stories to convey the same intrepid ethos, but not tell the same story, though I did end up writing a similar situation – but I chose to have character actions play out a bit differently, while remaining true to the character/voice. @intrepidusink

Pacing is key when writing flash & much of that has to do with showing vs telling – which is really choosing the best method to communicate to your readers. Sometimes dialogue is the best option, sometimes it’s slowing a moment down so readers bask in the tension. @intrepidusink

Difficult topics deserve respect and care, and treating both the situation and the characters with respect was key for this story. I think the heartbreaking aspect on something so real is what helps choke up readers. @intrepidusink

It’s sort of a twofer for me, because it’s not just character, but character through plot. It’s about putting them in situations and making them react. In this story, our narrator could be an enabler to tragedy or try to help. That’s all it is. @intrepidusink

Hello! I'm thrilled to share this story with all of you. I'm incredibly grateful to @intrepidusink for having me. Perhaps the intro will clue you into the narrator's badassery!

Today's the day! Part 1 of my two-part miniseries @intrepidusink is LIVE.

So stoked for this miniseries to go live! Part one goes up tomorrow! Stay tuned...

I'm so glad this hit with you, Ide! Thank you for the the shoutout! 🤘💜💀

My surreal/sci-fi story # E0E0E0 SKy is live at @librelitmag . It's a bit meditative and kinda quiet. One of my favorites. Hope you enjoy it!

I'm super stoked to have an upcoming story @intrepidusink This one packs quite a bit into a small package. Can't wait for y'all to check it out!

Kicking off the new year with a feature @indiosyncbooks! How cool. Saffron did a killer job with all of these. Go check 'em out - there are a lot of us featured. Perhaps you'll find some new favorite authors for the year! indiosyncrasy.com/authorfeat…
