This website started as an ongoing autobiographical creative non-fiction piece about the basic minutiae of everyday life that I was working on for my son to read when he is old enough. As it kept growing, I thought I would upload it online for him to easily find one day but also to allow anyone else who is interested in reading about the trials of a new parent to indulge in. However, over the years it has evolved into a space to shove most of my creative work into to have it out and about.

My name is James Standal, and I live in Bonners Ferry, Idaho. I am a father, a writer, an eater, a drinker, a fisher, and as lost as anyone else in what we are doing on this green and blue Earth of ours.

I have included a link to my artist page on Instagram, but if that isn’t good enough and you would like to reach out to me, my email is james.standal@gmail.com. Feel free to email me hate, love, or whatever your favorite pizza toppings are.

P.S. There may be typos. I write it, I read through it quick, I post it. Let me know if you see something that bugs you.
