my writings

My passion for creating has evolved into many different forms over the years, but one of my earliest and most enduring creative outlets has always been writing. I can still remember attempting to write my first story at just nine years old. Over the years, my writing has evolved from adventurous musings into something much more personal. It has become a way for me to process grief, navigate hurt, and make sense of my emotions as I move through life. As I’ve grown as a creative, my writing and visual art have begun to overlap, one form often accompanying the other. This intersection of storytelling and art is perhaps best represented by my passion project, “The Trilogy.” A lifelong dream of mine is to one day publish my work, whether it’s my poetry, short stories, or the big one: the novel I’ve been working on since 2018, The Trilogy. A sci-fi epic, The Trilogy is built around three main storylines, with poetry, short stories, and illustrations woven throughout to expand upon its world, characters, and themes. It’s a project that brings together so many of the things I love about creating, allowing me to explore storytelling through multiple mediums.

On this page I will be posting my shorter writings. I probably won’t be sharing my novel just yet, but I will be posting my poetry, short stories and any accompanying artwork for you all to enjoy. So, I hope you visit this page and find something you like and thanks for being here.

Enjoy.

As they navigate the chaos, corruption, and relentless brutality of a dystopian future, Myles struggles to survive in a world that seems to have little regard for human life.
