“Passion has little to do with euphoria and everything to do with patience. It is not about feeling good. It is about endurance. Like patience, passion comes from the same Latin root: pati. It does not mean to flow with exuberance. It means to suffer.”
Mark Z. Danielewski

Welcome!

I'm BenSD, and you've stumbled on my personal website! You might have figured that out already, huh? So, who am I? I'm so glad you asked (not that you actually asked). The short answer is that I'm a person who makes things. Actually, that's the long answer too, but I'll try to build on that.

I'm a writer by trade and nature. I live in Appalachian Ohio and my focus is primarily fiction, but I like to dabble; I've done virtually every kind of writing imaginable (if you can think of a genre I haven't tried, let me know; I'd love to give it a shot), including the occasional multimodal work. It's a hobby, a passion, and a profession.

This site is my landing page - a safe place to stick my name on the internet where I can showcase some of the work I've done. Thanks for being here!

I've been working on a new game, but it's not ready to show off yet, so here's a link to the old one. It's styled as a classic RPG, but with conversations in place of combat. Rather than level up as you go, you develop a unique personality; your answers to in-game dialogue contribute to an MBPI-style assessment which defines your character.
