September 2025

Hi, everyone.

I'm back with an update for September. Other than the cat ordeal at the beginning of the month (he's doing fine now, if anyone wants an update), September has been quite exciting!

Poetry Publication

Three of my poems have officially been published in Volume 3, Issue 2 of Sage Cigarettes Magazine. The whole issue is space themed, which is so fun. It's an honor to have been published alongside the other amazing writers featured in this issue. A huge thank you to the editing team for giving some of my poetry a home.

All three poems ("Celestial Bodies," Death Throes," and "Total Eclipse.") are available for free in the pdf version of the magazine. They'll also be uploaded to the magazine's blog over the upcoming weeks for those of you who prefer that style.

A New TTRPG

Surprise! I published a new two player map-drawing game called "Uncharted." Players will take to the skies with the help of dragons, explore new lands, and chart their discoveries in this collaborative game. By the end of the game, players will have a completed map to use in other TTRPGs or storytelling projects. Get the game on sale for $1 until the end of October.

If you'd like to stay up to date on my projects, you can follow me on Instagram @elliotjwest or subscribe to my newsletter From the Writer's Desk to get updates directly in your inbox.

Until next time,

Elliot
