The Halifax Fringe Festival: My first show, and this year’s reviews (opens the original)
Read excerpt
<img alt="The cover image for Halifax Fringe 2026. The background looks like a cartoon of outer space, with nebula colors and little stars and galaxies sprinkling it.

Chapter 5 concluded: Terrah and the firefight (opens the original)

Hello, folks.

Read excerpt
Hello everyone. Taking a sec at the top of the post to say that I’ve been cooking on a relaunch idea for Write It Out (and my old blog) for a few weeks, and I really appreciate the pledge support I’ve been seeing. This fall seems like a really good time for me to dig in to a lot of old posts I want to revamp and revive, both from this space over the last four years and from my old blog, where I have some evergreen material I want to update and streamline. It also seems like a damn fine time to q
