Even taking away the homesickness I knew I was going to feel, moving to Michigan was not going to be easy for me. Moving across town is expensive, so yeah, it was going to be thousands of dollars to move across states. So what did I do? I said, “fuck it,” and bought a 2004…

Shit. I thought I had posted more recently than February, and here we are, already in August. Whoops. Well, a lot has changed over the last six months. To summarize: bought an RV, did two more travel nurse contracts, accepted a permanent position in Michigan and moved up there (yes, in the RV), adopted another…

A couple of weeks ago, I went to Ann Arbor, MI, for a bit of a tour. See, I’d interviewed for a job (and felt pretty good about my odds at being offered the position), but I needed to see if I’d want to pack up and move my entire life permanently. I’d been living…

I’ve written, deleted, and rewritten this post about fifteen times because honestly? What else could I say that hasn’t already been said by thousands of people with much larger platforms than I? What perspective could I offer that would be unique or helpful to others? Who would care? My social media presence isn’t what it…

Back in December, I turned 42, and although it’s not really a milestone birthday, I went full on navel-gazing. So much of my life over the past two years has been about returning to me, evaluating my values, my habits and practices, and it all kind of solidified into this … thesis? I don’t really…

Aaaaaaand I’m back! I tried doing only Paradiso-related things on this website, and yeah … I wasn’t too happy with it. My entire identity isn’t within my writing projects, and there was so much I wanted to share that wasn’t about a fictional space station orbiting Mars! And really, so much has happened over the…

This is actually more of an update than anything else because things are gonna be changing up. I have decided that my blogging is going to happen over on Tumblr, with fun little updates on Bluesky, art & photography on Flashes, and whatever I’m gonna do on Skylight … honestly, I’ll probably just lurk over…

Monthly Wrap-Up Jesus, how is it already the end of April … granted, the last week has felt like it’s been four years long, for several reasons, but still! I truly cannot believe that, in the middle of all the things I’m dealing with right now, I was able to complete a full 30-day challenge…

Character’s Accomplishments Oooh, I have the perfect character for this one! Leah Kwasny was actually one of the first characters I developed for Paradiso – right after Fan, actually – and man, is this woman a force to be reckoned with. She knew exactly who she wanted to be when she was a child; beginning…

Character Phobia(s) Oooooh, this should be fun, but I’m having a hard time choosing which of the characters I haven’t talked about yet. You know what? Somehow I’ve gotten almost to the end of this challenge without talking a bit about Innis Bergonne, a character I invented well before 2016 (which is when I started…
