We're all on a voyage. This one is mine.
I recently started drafting my first novel. That might be a surprising fact for those of you who have been following me for a while. I've written a handful of short stories, a novella, and have started several novels. But this is going to be the one I finish first. There's something incredibly healing and… Continue reading Introducing My WIP // Characters, Aesthetics, and Music
My third poetry collection, Castles in the Sky, releases on Saturday. I wanted to give you special voyagers an exclusive sneak peek. This is only going to those of you who have subscribed to my blog—nobody else has access to this post. I'm still in awe of the fact that there are 144 of you… Continue reading Exclusive Sneak Peek of My Upcoming Poetry Collection
I had another post scheduled for today. It was a book review, and it would have been easier to do nothing and let it get posted. I'll probably still post it, at some point, but it wasn't right for today. Not when my life feels like it's spinning out of control. Not when my heart… Continue reading “I Just Wanna Be Happier” // A Found Poem
Hello, my voyagers. I've loved writing the "types of girls" poems too much to stop, so I wrote another one. This is based on the seven members of BTS: Jin, Namjoon, Suga, Jhope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook. I wanted to take their characteristics and imagine them as seven different kinds of ARMY (that's what BTS… Continue reading Bulletproof
the world that once spilled with amber flecks and the sky that used to drip with purple lava are finally, finally calm. there are no more sunsets. only the swirl of stardust that settles around the edge of the universe. but the moon survived. her surface is scarred with deep cuts and jagged cliffs. each… Continue reading goodnight
Back in August of 2019 I posted a poem that was based on a "types of girls" post on Pinterest. I've been wanting to write another poem based on another one of these Pinterest posts for quite some time, and I've finally finished it. I wanted this one to be equally meaningful, but still fresh… Continue reading Months
As many of you know, I've been reading through the Grishaverse books recently. But you probably don't know how much time I've spent thinking about this idea that stories find us when we need them the most. As I read through the Shadow and Bone trilogy, I wasn't impressed with the writing. However, I still… Continue reading Stories Find Us and We Find Them
Technically, my blogoversary was last week, but you get this post today because I completely forgot to write this post on time. *throws confetti* Last year, I did a Q&A. The year before that I reacted to your assumptions about me. As you can tell by the title, this year I'll be reacting to my… Continue reading Three Year Blogoversary // Reacting to My Old Writing
the world is on fire― kindled lava spilling over the edge. the amber flecks and onyx dust of last year glimmer faint. i yearn to watch sunsets fall along the burnt, charcoal horizons. but tonight, today, the vast sky remains void. where once rose a pale moon of starless wonder, there is only fire. crimson… Continue reading goodnight
Hello, my friends. I know the world is full of chaos and madness and craziness right now with the coronavirus. Multiple cities and countries have gone under lockdown/quarantine and I want to start this post by saying that I am safe and doing well. My family is okay and we are praying for everyone who's… Continue reading A Sprinkle of Happiness
