So. Here's how this works. I write. I write a lot. I almost never share what I write and that's a problem for me. In the last few years, I've started to force myself to finish some things and submit them various places. Lotta rejection (I'm told that's how it works). But, to my surprise, those rejections didn't sting as much as I anticipated. A bunch of my mostly irrational fear about sharing what I write has dissipated. That's been my favorite thing about entering my 30s -- I have ceased to give a fuck about so many things I used to find profoundly shameful. 😌

While I impatiently try to finish writing more stuff (novels, short stories, essays) and anticipate further rejections (and, when I'm very lucky, some publishing opportunities), I decided, "Screw it. I'm building a semi-professional website." Here it is. In all its half-baked, Google site glory. 🙏

I built this site a year ago... and never finished it. I kept telling myself I would. I kept writing posts and then they would sit in my folders, fully formed, waiting to be read, but hiding behind an unpublished website. The other day, I sat down to write yet another new post, and once again thought to myself, "Screw it. I'm publishing the website." 

And now, finally, here we are. I've decided the website will exist for your amusement in its incomplete form because that's the fuckin' beauty of a website! They are always changeable/editable. They are alive. (Until they die...) And I like that. 

I like that the hypothetical YOU get to see this Frankenstein thing start to come to life. There are plenty of things to read and explore while you're here from day one (8/12/2025) but I will continue to write new posts, finish some posts that are already shared, and slowly update posts that exist in theory/inside my head and have titles and space here already but... have yet to actually be written down (by me... did I mention I struggle to finish stuff??). You get to enjoy the sneak peek of what's to come and I don't have to fret over when and how to finish something. 

This website is more or less a blog, I suppose, in that it will host my writing about my personal experiences in life and responses to media. But instead of writing in text boxes like this one, I've decided that the "blog posts" will instead be hosted and shared as Google docs. This allows me to easily organize and edit my posts at will (without messing up the website) and allow for commenting ability without paying for the more professional blog sites that do those things more seamlessly. 

Is it a hot mess? You bet! But it's my mess and I'm glad you're here.

Why "Labyrinths"? 

I'll write about it! 😁 

Someday... 🫣
