I’m David J. Hughes, and you’ve stumbled onto my website. I have been writing on and off for most of my life and this is where I’ve chosen to publish it. I write essays that are mostly satirical, and short fiction that is mostly horror. If you have any suggestions about what I should write, I really don’t care and you should consider why you have a compulsion to offer unsolicited advice.
Many, many years ago I was a stand-up comedian, and while I still enjoy making people laugh I’ve really embraced my inner introvert of late and hate going out to bars at all anymore. It turns out that I can still write entertaining material and make people laugh and not make any money without leaving my house. I’ve been a real sucker having traveled to local bars and comedy clubs to perform at a financial loss all this time.
In 2023, I’m trying to write with more consistency. If you deign to dig around enough on this site you’ll notice that I didn’t publish anything in 2022. I can’t really explain it other than I forgot that I wanted to write and publish anything. That’s what I get for taking my time block for writing out of my calendar. When I start to believe in my time-management skills too much I think I can take the training wheels off of my bicycle. When I do take them off, I immediately ride my bike into traffic and watch it get run over by a 1996 Ford Ranger. Anyway, I’m re-scheduling my writing blocks.
I hope this is all good enough for you.
