Creative Writing

As a preface to some of the pieces enumerated below, the majority represented are exceedingly preliminary, rough first drafts of rather ambitious endeavors that proved too intimidating and time-intensive to materialize. Encompassing a variety of disparate genres and narrative formats, these discarded works each require a bit of introduction to properly contextualize their original intentions and inspiration.

The four numbered examples represent successive iterations of a single, foundational idea, first encapsulated in Part 1- The Video Game. Each has been provided with a brief history detailing my somewhat erratic creative process moving from one transiently tantalizing concept to the next. Though organized in the order of their creation, they can be essentially parsed at the readers’ discretion. The most finalized draft, The Automaton, is a fair place to begin!
