You closed your shop for this?

In a way, yes. Blogging wasn’t necessarily in the plans, but this gives me a place to play and experiment without the pressures of social media algorithms.

Did you really write your short stories?

Yep! They are 100% mine. I do not use AI to assist in any process of the writing.

I love this story! Can I print it out to keep? Edit? Submit it to x website? etc.

No. In the future, I’m considering compiling all my short stories into one book. So for now, I ask that you leave the stories where they are. Please come back and revisit them as many times as you’d like, and please consider supporting me when the time comes to release the collection.

As for the rest of it. Absolutely NOT! I own complete copyright over all my stories and do not give permission to edit, submit, alter, copy, or publish my work without my written permission.

I am, however, open to collaborations. If you’d like to work with me or feature my work, please feel free to reach out at thepomegranatehouse@yahoo.com.
