Now
Hi, I'm Japheth. You've stumbled into my Sivers-inspired Now page.

Writing & Storytelling
I've paused work on my novella and novel-length projects to take a different approach with my writing. Right now, I'm:
- Attempting to publish one piece of original short fiction (50 - 1,500 words) every Friday.
- Publishing a new installment to my dystopian sci-fi serial story, Janie and The Gray every Saturday-ish.
- Recording and publishing audio versions of my short stories with my baddie wife and ride-or-die Darcy.
- Doing all of the above and connecting with other writers on the PEWPEWHUZZAH Substack.
- Starting Em Dashes & Ampersands — because impulse control
- Attempting to promote the above on Instagram and Bluesky.
