My Bio
I am a heavy equipment specialist working in the North Slope borough of Alaska. I spend my free time working on my writing.

I'm a Purdue graduate. I have a BA in creative writing and I'm currently applying to various low-residency MFA programs. I write fiction for the most part and occasionally poetry and creative non-fiction.

my Daily Deviations:
Happy HollowLook:
I found him in Happy Hollow, the woods that's on the outskirts of the city. He was a little ways off the path me and my sister, Nahla, take to school, 'cept Nahla was sick that day so it was just me by myself. It's not the fastest way to get to school, but we can't go through Northampton or else the bullies that live there will throw dirt clods at us. After I found him I took him to this old shed out there. It's got a hole in the roof but I figured the little guy'd be safe there on account of it's a good ways away from the Northampton houses; plus you can't hardly see it through all the leaves and branches and stuff. His fur was real white and real soft, just like snow 'cept it wasn't cold. It was warm and fuzzy so it made you wanna squeeze him real tight. I liked playing with his ears cuz they was all floppy, 'cept when you made a weird noise, then they'd stick straight up and he'd tilt his head sideways and look at you funny. He had a long bushy tail and sharp little baby teeth
The Last Kind Man    For once I was glad my little sister was with me because I couldn't remember what Mom sent us to the swap meet for. I was watching the kasheeskis (spider-legged elephants if you ain't from around here) belching white clouds into the air. They get twenty feet tall this time of year. The alpha of the herd puffed a cloud of white smoke in our direction that almost made me lose my balance. Ran over a pothole so big that Mom’s instructions bounced outta my head and almost took Anne with them.
    The Sunday swap meet was in full swing when we got there. Old Miss Fullerton was selling corn and squashes from her little wooden cart. She's almost a hundred years old and still she hauls that cart to and from the pier ever Sunday with her own two hands. Next to her was Gil, the only black in South Beaufort, in his little plywood stand selling handmade soap. Anne likes Gil's stand the best because them little soap bars come to life when you look at

I'm not gonna lie, I've been dragging my feet on the Mechanical Jellyfish project. but recent events, a recent DD not withstanding, have given me the kick to ass I needed to get back to work on this thing. there's three basic steps to my dream writing process. first my sleeping dream needs to cook up the dream for me, then I have to write it down in my journal before I forget what happened, then I have to transcribe whatever I've scribbled down in my journal to electronic text where I can edit and revise and so on. with fiction the most painful part of the entire writing process is revision. but with non-fiction/dream writing I've found tran

in the year 2010 I began keeping record of my dreams. it was difficult at first, I could barely recall anything other than a few details, feelings and sensations. but as with any other skill the more I practiced the easier it became to remember my experiences. by the end of 2011 I was able to account for almost every moment of my dreams. in July of last year, around the time I first traveled to Alaska, I decided to write a non-fiction book of my dreams from the year 2012. to say it's been challenging would be a tremendous understatement. in addition to the general difficulty that comes with crossing over from fiction to creative non-fiction

I've been recording my dreams for the past several years. I'm working on a collection of dreams which I plan to publish on here in the near future.

Hi! Even though I'm late to the party, I love the dream writing you've done! (I've been keeping my own dream log for about a year now and I, no joke, suddenly remembered favorite-ing your "Mechanical Jellyfish: a Year in Dreams" years ago. I would love to know if you have any plans to continue them (uh, no peer pressure intended). Either way, you deserve the DDs and thanks to you, I'm reading Hiroko Nishikawa's journal!
Thank you for faving "Bottom of the Bottle!" Much appreciated!Airborne
