Goddamn. I really didn't expect things to get this bad this quickly. Look, I have a bunch of posts lined up, but, real talk, I'm a Latine man living in America in 2025. The plan was to start posting consistently again, build an audience here, and add some kind of donation option to this site. But now, not even a month later, with America crumbling, it feels like the patient approach isn't viable anymore.
My Current Projects
It's been so long since I've written one of these. If you've been with me for a while on here, things've changed. First and foremost, I have a really, really hard time writing "cool stuff" these days. Comics, badass heroes, rad weapons--all of that takes a backseat to intent now; I focus way more on what I'm saying with a story and way less on how awesome its parts are...
The “Resources” Page is Up and “The Plotter’s Inventory” Is Live
I wanted to start the new year off strong, so my "Plotter's Inventory" is available on my new Resources page.
Welcome to Inktrap
Finally, after ages of being "House of Error," I've rebranded the site to "Inktrap." Why Inktrap? I feel like it's an appropriate term for what all of us get stuck in, as writers. The practice of writing is as unforgiving as it is addicting. Couple that with how brutally unrewarding it's getting and "Inktrap" feels like a fitting moniker. A grizzled, old smoker's way of talking about what we do. "Gonna get ready for bed, start washing dishes, and get caught in that goddamn inktrap again--I know it."
“A Facet of That Faceless Death” is Posted and Free-to-Read
If you didn't get a chance to listen to the audio version, I've posted a free, text-only transcript of "A Facet of That Faceless Death" here on the site for anyone to read. Click here to give it a read! If you'd rather check out the aforementioned audio version of the story, it was performed... Continue Reading →
Future Plans
To some degree, this is a post I never, ever wanted to write, but I think, overall, it's for the best that I write it. The world is getting darker lately. I was fortunate enough to get through my surgery, back to a state where I'm largely functional, and that's great. But at the same... Continue Reading →
Hello There
Well, well, well. It has been literal years. Sorry to be away for so long, but, as I said in my last post, my life got extremely real and I wasn't planning to post again unless I got published. So, about that: https://www.thenosleeppodcast.com/episodes/s21/21x11 As of today, I got published in the premium version of the... Continue Reading →
My Story, “A Facet of That Faceless Death,” was Featured on the NoSleep Podcast!
The feature image of this post was made by Thea Arnman for Season 21, Episode 11 of the NoSleep Podcast. Eight years after my short, "Aixa the Hexcaster," was published at Mirror Dance Fantasy, I have finally been published again. This time, however, it's a Sci-Fi/Horror short that was fully voice-acted on the NoSleep Podcast:... Continue Reading →
It Looks Like Goodbye for Now
I want to start by thanking everyone who's been with me for what I only just realized was a nearly-two-year-long spree of weekly posts. I really, really appreciate everyone who's stopped by and all of the support you've shown. The plan was to change the appearance of this site and start posting new, more elaborate...

Camp NaNoWriMo, July 2021, Feels Like Fate
I know that's a little dramatic . . . . . . but I just finished editing my outline. Not rushing or stressing. Just at my normal pace, I just so happened to finish editing my outline an hour before July 1st--giving me exactly enough time to write this post. And that outline didn't need... Continue Reading →
