"Scrap Metal", an Appalachian Steampunk short story, is now available on my website! This was originally published in November 2024 as part of the sci-fi & omnibus editions of "To Appalachia With Love", a charity anthology to benefitting Western North Carolina. www.wordsbyparker.com/blog/scrap-m...

Felix uses his fear of judgement as an excuse to push others away, and he only lets a few get within arm's length at best. He acts cold and harsh, and will manipulate people without hesitation if he thinks he can get away with it.

Life is too short for not doing what you love. You don't need much to actually do it. You just need some time, which you have. Every, single, day. Go out and do it. It will be the best way to spend your time. Memories pay off dividends for many years to come.

How big is my #reservoir? How long will my battery hold? How deep do my roots go? How well will my story be told? There’s nothing to be ashamed of Except for not trying at all There’s something heroic about Getting back up after a fall We each know the trials we face #vss365

I barely remember taking this. I think it was from a bowl of potpourri or something. It was taken all the way back in 2016 if you can believe it. 📷: Canon Rebel T5i #photography #photographersonbluesky #closeupphotography

Another snippet from 'The Others'. It picks up where the first one left off. #creativewriting #writersofbluesky #writing

Another one I found sorting through folders. I like the texture here. Sometimes you just have to look a little closer at the small stuff. 📷: Panasonic DMC-ZS100 #photography #photographersofbluesky #nature

It's not quite spring but there's nothing like a fresh bouquet to make it feel a little closer than it is. This flower is easily the brightest of the bunch. 📷: Pixel 7 #photography #photographersofbluesky #flowers

One from the archives! I have a lilac bush that's gotten pretty big over the years and every summer it blooms and smells wonderful. It always brightens the yard and puts a smile on my face. 📷: OnePlus 10 Pro #photography #photographersofbluesky #flowers

There's just something so magical about nature's little details. It's always fun to take pics of whatever catches my interest when I'm out and about. Canon Rebel T5i #photography #photographersofbluesky #nature

Here's a little snippet from yet another WIP of mine: The Others (still iffy about that title). I haven't really done proper horror before, so this is my first real attempt at writing something dark and gory. I also love using Ellipsus' snippet feature. #creativewriting #writing #writersofbluesky

Just another snippet of mine! I wrote an entire "chapter" for a base idea I had for some characters as part of a writing exercise. It's been a minute since I've flexed the old creative muscles. #creativewriting #writing #writersofbluesky

Ooooooh, Bluesky on desktop is pretty nice! It's way easier to navigate and looks less cluttered. If I was able to carry my laptop with me more I would straight up ditch the app entirely. #bluesky #randomthoughts

Gotta love how writing for me is sometimes 30% writing and 70% imagining the story I should be writing. #writers #writerslife

I've been using Ellipsus lately and have been really impressed with the features. So here's a little snippet of something I've been working on. #writing #creativewriting

If there's anything I hope young creatives take from David Lynch, it's to reject the modern IP-driven impulse to explicitly explain and cleanly categorize the logic behind every single event and decision inside and outside of a story at least some of the time.

I mean I don't mind long games but they've gotta really hold my interest. I just don't have the time anymore to sit down and focus on something for several hours a day. Although I definitely do prefer a game I can jump into at random for short periods of time.

What a great start to the new year. Mark "government death fog" on your 2025 bingo cards please. I'll be back under my rock contemplating a short story on this that will either be horror or comedy. Or both.

Nobody ever wrote a perfect novel in one go. I have to constantly remind myself of this.

None until I saw this. Now all I have floating around my mind is the Wipeout Pulse OST. Smart Systems specifically for some reason. Maybe I need a break from completing my old save 😅
