Welcome to The Ink Well ! A space for everything that doesn’t quite fit anywhere else. Here you’ll find thoughts, musings, updates, and general topics pulled straight from the margins. Some posts might be playful, some serious, some just me dipping the pen in and seeing where the ink runs. This is the catch-all corner of this entire publishing journey; part journal, part bulletin board, part late-night scribble.

Welcome to Lab Scars ! The private blog tied directly to In The Lab. This is where the raw ideas get discussed, dissected, and debated. I’ll use this space to ask what I should work on first, hear what readers want to see, and drop new scars on the workbench for you to weigh in on.

Because this section is password protected, it also serves as a hidden channel: select readers will find cryptic password hints tucked into posts. The password will change from time to time, so pay attention. Nothing here is final , but every scar you see has the chance to grow into a story.

Welcome to the firing squad. This is the blog for critical critiques, hate mail, complaints, and unsolicited advice. It’s your playground, armchair warriors. Your battlefield, basement dwellers. Your soapbox, narcissists. If you’ve ever thought “I could do it better” while double-fisting Funyuns and scrolling through comment sections, congratulations… this is your natural habitat.

Here, every story is fair game. Hate the title? Roast it. Don’t like the ending? Burn it down. Think my commas are in the wrong place? Tell me all about your PhD in Grammarology from Reddit University.

This is the space for every self-appointed expert who knows more than the author, the editor, and God combined. The one who believes tearing it all down is the only way forward. Go ahead… rant, rave, sneer, nitpick. The walls of Critiques & Complaints were built for your scorching hot takes and icy cold contempt.

Because in the end, nothing fuels the scars like a good, old-fashioned complaint.

Little note to family and true friends: You all know what to do!
