Been falling quite a bit behind on updating on all my writing for the past few months, so here it is in one big swoop. No longer including any work for my clickbait or any kind of aggregating news I’m doing because what’s the point? May edit in future since I am afraid I may have forgotten something.
I’m always looking for new outlets, if you have any leads or would be interested in having me contribute to your site, please don’t hesitate to contact me at smith.justinea@gmail.com
