The web space of writer D. A. Campisi, seasoned with a heavy dose of fiction and fantasy. As it should be.
I wrote this out in a lengthy Twitter thread the other night. I liked it, so I’m reposting it here… in more detail.
About twenty years ago, I decided I wanted to be a writer. I wanted to craft fun, new, relatable characters. I wanted to weave whole new worlds steeped in adventure, fantasy, & new technologies. But mostly, I simply wanted to tell stories that I hoped others would enjoy.
Well, I guess it is a bit more complicated than that… let me tell you my writer story.
My short story, Only The Poor Die Young, will be published in Third Flatiron’s upcoming anthology. Infinite Lives: Short Tales of Longevity will be published on October 15th, and you can preorder it for Kindle right now on Amazon.

Print copies will follow shortly after.
Also, you can get all of Third Flatiron’s quarterly anthologies for as little as $12/year with a subscription on Patreon:
I hope you all enjoy the story!

I’m happy to announce that my short story, Only the Poor Die Young, will be published in Third Flatiron’s upcoming anthology, Longevity.
I will provide more details as I have them, but look for the anthology to release this fall.

As always, thank you for all the support.
Hey everyone,
Thanks for your patience! I’m sure you saw the pictures from the previous post, so I don’t have to tell you that Hawai’i was absolutely amazing and I can’t wait to go back there someday.
But that said, it is time to get back on track. This vacation has gone on long enough and I have a health journey to continue on.
Some news on that though. I have made a separate blog for my daily tracking, progress, and lifestyle changes. (Check it out here: https://wordsbythepound.home.blog/). This blog you are currently on will go back to being more about my creative outlets (writing, drawing, etc.), opinions, news and announcements, entertainment, and personal growth.
So if you are just interested in the health stuff, hop on over to the new site using the above link, and be sure to follow and subscribe there. If you want insight into my writing or anything else that pops into my brain that is not health-related, you are in the right place.
Let’s do this thing!
So… if you have never been to Maui before, I cannot recommend it enough. It was absolutely beautiful and we had the most amazing time. Hands down, best vacation ever.
But don’t just take my word for it. Check out these pictures.
So much fun.
Anyway, on Monday it will be nose back to the grindstone, tracking food and getting this health journey cart righted.
See you then.
