A desert-dwelling writer and editor. For my own joy, I scribble about adolescence, magic, or sex — which are often the same thing, if it comes to that. Sometimes these are narrative poems I peddle as short stories; this makes me part of the Well-Versed Skiffy movement ("good storytelling, good meter, good speculative fiction"). Such obsessions mean I value romantic comedy as the highest form of literature.

This is primarily an account for reading other journals, kept active by posting bits of fluff caught in my filters and the occasional reading report. For more of this stuff, see my pretty good home page. I post my pretty good word of the day in prettygoodword, moderate the moribund wordsofonebeat community, and my poetry journal is over here. My pretty good friending policy (since everyone seems to have one) is that my friends list is purely a reading list that expands and contracts based on my time. Feel free to friend and unfriend me at will, without asking. There's a good chance I won't notice, anyway.

I'm told I come across as taller in person than I do online.
