This is the bleakest, darkest poem I've ever written. I suppose the reader is left to wonder if it is really about the Antichrist or just about a man going insane. Actually its really about a man going insane. (But is there more to it than that? Has he transcended insanity as he sought to do? Maybe.)

Creator: Friend or Foe?
This story began as a NaNoWriMo 2012 work, with no planning, and even less idea of plot. I learned from that experience that I am not a 'pantser' -and spent about 20 painful months trying to turn my stream-of-consciousness 3-stories-in-one into one coherent novel, following the timeline and events in the Book of Genesis. I discovered that that is not a great way to build a plot. I ended after 5 more drafts, at about 60k words. There is another draft on my blog, slightly longer, a bit more experimental. This is only meant to be a marker of progress. I hope some may find it enjoyable, useful, and even helpful.

Poetry For The Queer and Mentally Ill
Freestyle Poetry 🙂
Paradise Lost (Novel Adaptation)
An unofficial retelling of the poem based on Biblical creation by John Milton. I got this idea from watching Wendigoon's video on the poem. First of all I think this would be a great script for a movie, but also I want to see if I could tackle it from a book perspective. Also, read the poem if you want to get the full experience. I'm just writing this without the old English vocabulary and delivering it in the best way I can possible without having unnecessary exposition (which works for poetry and not for a book) and compressing the story in that it cuts the fat and gets to the point. I'm also giving some notes on certain names and what they relate to and where Milton gathered these concepts and ideas from. To state it plainly, like Wendigoon, I am a Christian, so I'm not writing this thing lightly because there is reverence to these names that I'm putting on paper, digital paper that is. This is not the beat-for-beat account of the actual creation story, and it should not be taken as such. It's merely an expansion on certain ideas and characters that is a "could be" or a "what if" situation. If you are a Christian reading this, take it with a grain of salt. If you aren't a Christian, maybe this opens up a new thought for you and you become more interested in Christianity (no I'm not forcing anything down anybody's throats). Either way, this is to be seen just as Wendigoon describes: Biblical Fanfiction. So, with that being said, I hope you enjoy this. It's been a while since I've written anything on this app, so I'm going to try and keep up with this consistently. With that being said, let's get started. Thanks, and God bless.Complete

Interplanetary
For who he seeketh light, dark followeth him. And whose darkness abides, light seeketh the man. Man striketh light and light shut his door; dark giving him food for store. For evil is heavenly, and heaven is for those who seeketh Hell; for is for hellfire, and hell for those who seeketh Heaven. A bunch of notes I once had for my current WIP story. BG unknown, but please link it if you see it, thanks. Note that I cringe at this looking back (since it was made in 2019), so if you do cringe, do it with me LOL.Complete

PERSEVERANCE
"A Journey into Chaos: The Transformation of Steve" Steve's life was once defined by addiction, isolation, and failure until a chance encounter with a stranger sets him on a path of dark introspection. What begins as a desire to understand the teachings of Jesus soon turns into a manipulative quest for power. Disillusioned with the world's fairness, Steve decides to bend the world to his will, embracing chaos and destruction. As he transforms into a force of malevolence, Steve's internal conflict between good and evil unravels, leaving behind a man who no longer seeks redemption but domination. In this psychological tale of perseverance turned dark, Steve's journey illustrates the fine line between survival and corruption, and how the desire for control can bring out the devil in anyone. Note: As a part-time writer, I'll be posting new episodes every Thursday! Occasionally, I may surprise you with an extra chapter or two during the week. Stay tuned!Complete
