Newsletter
One of my clearest memories as a child is of playing in my parent's backyard by myself. I invented whole worlds for my action figures. Wrote narratives in my imagination that traveled with me from day-to-day. It was a compulsion then and it is a compulsion now...
Only less reliant on action figures these days.
That is why I started this Newsletter in the spring of 2024. I needed something to focus my creative energies. Something to keep it from consuming me.
My desires to write. To paint. To sculpt. They all become overwhelming without something to focus on. An so The Book of 500 and One Names was born.
Ostensibly created to merge my desire to write short fiction and to create monsters to be used with the Torchbearer RPG, this newsletter evolved into something bigger. It allowed me to find a new community and spurred me to create new things that were never in the plan.
It also created a decentralized mess of all my output across multiple platforms.
So found the right tool to merge my disparate creative outputs, Ghost.org. On their platform I have merged my old blog and website with my Substack archive. It is a lot of material and will continue to grow as time goes on.
But what does that mean, practically?
