Emerald “Fitz” Anderson-Fitzpatrick (they/them)
@fitzemeraldwrites.bsky.social
Queer and non-binary writer of poems, stories, and substacks (Queerofcups)
I LOVE cheating on my stories with other stories. One could say i’m being polyamorous with my fiction but i’m not. I’m a hussy you hear! A sloot! I promise forever when I have the attention span of a hamster. A fuckboy of the highest order. #writesky #nomarblesleft

My new strategy for finishing anything is to do the opposite of what neurotypical white dude writers say I should do (write everyday, write first edit later etc.) I’m pretty sure this will be successful because i’m doing it out of spite. #writesky #adhdwriter

in true ADHD fashion I’ve scrapped the complex reverse outline/editing process i created entirely and am writing the second draft of this damn novel long hand (with plenty of collages and doodles on the way). #writesky #editasyougo #adhdwriter

My innie: buys a special journal to longhand write a beautiful story about ghosts and depression

My outie: hunched over an iphone typing poetry with my nose because i need two dopamine beverages one in each claw

i don’t get imposter syndrome about the writing part of poetry but more about the fact that i’m illiterate and read a total of 5 poems a year not written by me (all of those in workshops 💀)

I love using chat gpt for brainstorming, I’ve always wanted to argue with myself but in a more concrete and tangible way

“so how do you market your therapy practice”

“oh i’m paying several thousand dollars for a marketing mentorship and im marketing on tik tok, have a website, am learning SEO”

“cool! how are you marketing your writing?”

“my what now?”

nothing makes you realize how nightmarishly personal your poems are than trying to come up with a setlist for a college class

hahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAuhhhnnfffhuhuhuh 😭
when I say that I will wake up early to write for an hour, that’s not lying, I’m just being an unreliable narrator

My editing process is: spend 20 minutes doing actual editing and 90 minutes fucking around with reedsy. Effecient? no. Less stress? Also no. But do i love my system? kind of yes

“the boy made a motion with his finger. Come hither. A spectral invitation. He turned and walked that strange even walk further into the tree line. Jenna didn’t want to go home. This knowledge unglued her. She followed the ghost boy into the forest.” #wipsnips #writesky #writingcommuniry

Grief is the doorway to every other feeling. If I’m blocking grief I’m blocking joy, meaning, aliveness. Numbness is comforting but for me it can never be creative.

Writing about anything feels like you’re doing something about the grief, you’re getting in touch with it’s something, you’re expressing something.

“Jenna sat on the couch and saw a shiny silver wallet sitting atop it. The idea forming in her mind would certainly lead to trouble but that was a problem for her future self. Her birthday self demanded a sacrifice. She would do her trick and have her treat.” #wipsnips #writingcommunity

Whew, hello I’m back. Had a bit of hiatus due to a death in the family. Normally big grief/tragedy makes me have to write but losing my MIL has been different. This was the first death I’ve been present for and there’s been a lot of numbing out. I think this story is what I need. Ready to feel again

“Eyes like mood rings
Eyes like rivers.
Eyes like good intentions.
Eyebrows that survived the 90’s,
That arch in a way that knows you.”

Needing to take a break from writing my longhand story for my HEALTH because i annoyingly decided writing about depression in the WINTER was FINE and wouldn’t be triggering AT ALL! Enjoy poem snippets in the meantime because the viz art i’m making will probably not see the light of day 💀 #writesky

“I want you to know
I’m as fat as your nightmares
and my husband
eats me up
like full fat
ice cream, like real
chocolate cake.
I am flooded with a cleansing
grief. You are practically erased.”
-from poem Mother’s Day

sometimes when you’re not writing you’re gaining inspiration and by inspiration i mean new earrings made by a local artist 😌 #brrrzaar #localartist #writesky #writingcommunity

Sometimes when you’re not writing, you’re filling your inspiration cup and by inspiration cup I mean my online shopping cart 😌

A neurodivergent writer friend reminded me it’s okay to work on a thing that feels fun and then not finish the thing. So let me be your neurodivergent writer friend and remind you finishing things is morally neutral. Writing should feel good *gasp!*

“Jenna considered the liquor cabinet. The shining bottles of wine and elegant bottles of spirits. If there was one thing her mother would catch it was missing alcohol. She also hates the way it made people act, unserious and mean, smiles hollowed out and eyes vacant of consequence.”
