    BY ZEBULON CORK For much of his life, Zebulon Mazozozi considered his sister one of the oddest, strangest and most mysterious people he’d ever known in his life. For one thing, his sister had this strange habit of eating every book she’d ever read. She claimed it helped her “absorb the information more deeply.” Naturally,…

    BY ZEBULON CORK Larry Gobblebrook loved his son Richie. He loved him more than words could express. Every day since his son Richie’s glorious birth, he’d prayed to the Lord Jesus up high and thanked him for blessing him with such a beautiful boy. However, any time he thanked Jesus for that wonderful son of…

    April was a busy month for me. It’s a good thing I finished draft 1 of the Kosan rewrite when I did, because boy oh boy, did classes get busy. But, I suppose, that’s just how things are when you’re a grad student. I’m not complaining. This is the life I chose. And it’s not…

    Oy. Been a while since I posted here again. Let’s change that. So! What’ve I been up to lately? Well, the biggest thing (which you already know if you follow me on Instagram): I finished the Kosan rewrite! Or, well, a draft of it, anyway. But yeah! It’s finally done! And the final word count…

    Those of you who’ve followed me for a while know I’ve been doing this writing thing since I was a teenager. That’s pretty damn close to a decade and a half now. You might also know I wrote my first novel as a teenager: I wrote the bulk of it in grade 10, before I…

    Well, here we are. Writing updates are back. No, I never intended to stop doing these. As I’ve said before, things just kind of piled up for me late last year, and this year I wanted to do a couple other posts before I got back into the writing updates. But anyway. All that aside.…

    Hey all! Hope you’ve been holding up OK this January. I’ve been doing OK, just reading and writing and reading some more and writing some more and…well, what do you know, reading and writing some more. You know, the usual. Anyway, I know I’m a bit late on this, but I thought I’d pop in…

    Hi everyone. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve written here. I meant to write more—I swear I did—but grad school is hella busy. Who knew? Sarcasm aside, with all the schoolwork I had to do, all the creative projects I was juggling, and all the responsibilities of everyday life piled on top of that,…

    So I got stuck again. I was cruising my way through the Kosan rewrite—had written 10 or 12 new chapters to add to what I already had—when I hit another wall. I won’t go into all the details here: maybe I’ll do that in the next official writing update, or maybe I’ll hold off until…

    Hey, folks. It’s…been a while since I’ve updated here. Yeah, yeah, I know, I said I’d do it sooner, more frequently, all that jazz. At this point, all I can say is I got caught up in the various joys and stresses of life; this summer has been a busy one, and with how busy…
