I’m currently focused on two things: closing and beginning again.

Writing

The epilogue to Under Rolling Stars is complete.

That story was meant to end where it did, but something kept echoing. Not a sequel. Just one last breath. A quiet coda set a month later, in a different town, where the snow has melted and the bond remains. No grand revelations. Just an overdue arrival and a cup of coffee.

With that done, I’ve begun TREK.

TREK is something larger. It’s an ambitious project I’ve kept quietly close. It follows a young man on a long journey westward, chasing a sense of meaning he can’t yet name. Along the way, he passes through abandoned towns, hollow fads, unfinished friendships. It’s not about escaping the past, but carrying it differently.

I’m writing it for myself, first. To see if I can go the distance.

YouTube

The channel is still finding its rhythm. Right now I’m working on reactions and commentary centered around Friendship is Magic. Episodes, moments, and quiet themes that linger. Reviews too, eventually. Maybe deeper looks at the comics, or how stories change with time.

It’s a slower space. I’m letting it become whatever it needs to.

Website & Identity

David.ink is still evolving alongside me. It’s now cleaner, calmer, and more intentional, reflecting the quieter creative philosophy I’ve been growing into. Layout, typography, and structure are all being reworked to match the kind of space I want to create: focused, warm, and a little bit nostalgic.

It’s a slower space. I’m letting it become whatever it needs to.

Creative Input

Lately, I’m drawing from:

• Friendship is Magic and its comics: layered, often strange, quietly brilliant.
• Stories about found family, written with care and patience.
• Old horror films where silence says more than the script.
• Fiction that leaves room to breathe.

These are the currents beneath what I make.
