Welcome and thank you for being here! I hope you enjoy reading my musings about The Ruins, how the art gets made, and so many other ways of thinking about the creative process.

The free subscription includes a portion of my writing, and I will try to keep some of my best work always free and open. You are now a part of The Ruins ecosystem.

As time goes on, I will be adding special and more personal projects that will be for paid subscribers only. You can become a paid subscriber at any time

.

I post always once a week, sometimes twice a week.

Wednesday is always Ruins-centric. Posts can be about the latest happenings at the giant cement canvas, future plans, how it works, or stories about the people who come from coal. The Ruins is a generous subject.

Saturday posts are for my dear paid subscribers. This is where the new Cabin Confidential writing will be posted. Small stories that take up big spaces, personal tales about our attempted escape from modernity. You never know what a Saturday post may bring. From bluebird congregations to Fayette County philosophers to rogue chickens and the building and burning of bridges.

I am so happy you are here. Please feel welcome to respond to posts and share your thoughts as the world of The Ruins Project grows.
