  • New writing group

    Reconnected with an old friend from a writing group I joined pre-COVID. Excited to say we’ll be forming a new group where we share our stories and get feedback from one another.

  • Comic submission, video game, new insta

    I’ve launched a new Instagram account, by.cadeem, that is devoted entirely to writing. I can post as much as I want without worries of my existing circle not being interested. I am hoping to build an audience that will read “The Garden of Abel” and my short stories. “Shadow Hills Manor,” the video game I’m…

  • Writing Updates

    Been a busy two months. Working two-part time roles. The video game is progressing, with the programmers working on audio and visual for the first act. We are also wrapping up the third act of the script. In terms of the comic, I am working with a new artist. Their art looks amazing to me…

    https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gravity-paper-comics/ink-portal-an-anthology-magazine-debut-edition In previous posts I mentioned that I joined an indie comic company.

    Been a while since my last post but here are some quick updates. I recently got a part-time position, and may be getting another in October. So for the rest of the year I may just have to juggle two part-time roles and max out the hours. I’m still searching for something full-time but have…

  • Anansi Screenplay V2

    Back in 2023 I decided to write a screenplay of “Anansi” in order to submit it to a film program. The pitch wasn’t successful, and I then decided to post the screenplay on Black List. I paid for 4 reviews and used the feedback to guide a rewrite of the screenplay. The main parts of…
