pixelnyx asterisk

about

Personal writing archive, somewhat experimental, containing polished final pieces, progress drafts and idea doodles. Unlike art, which can be shared as sketches, writing always seems to languish unseen except for a final polished piece; I think of this archive as a sketchpad. Ideas get doodled in many forms, many times over, reused, recycled, tested and tried. Free fiction provided for fun of writing and joy in sharing.
