It’s freezing cold. My blankets are warm. My tea is warm. My book is spicy. This should be a national holiday!

Hi, everyone!

I’m published in the Clockwise Cat!

Here’s a little link if you want to read a super fun indie lit journal — clockwisecat.com/2025/02/issu...

And if you want more from me, you can find my work in “Mikrokosmos” Vol. 70 & “Mikrokosmos Mini Scary Stories”

In case anyone was wondering: this is probably one of the best, most supportive MFA programs out there. I love this community 💙📚

If I spend months researching the impact of weirdcore music, I’m for sure making it everyone else’s problem!

Sometimes, heck just isn't enough

Here's another comforting read. Though these poems deal with some heavier subject matter, they're always handled with the sensitivity and care they deserve. And every poem ends with the same hopeful message: it's okay that it's not okay now, because it will be okay in the future. 💙📚

In case anyone needs a great, cozy recommendation full of delicious food and reconnection, "The Kawogama Food Detectives" is a nice, chill listen.

Also, if y'all want to fight Jeff Bezos, check out Libro.fm! It's better than Audible and directly supports your local indie bookstore! 💙📚

Hi, y'all!

I'm Amanda, and I'm an MFA student at Pacific. I love all forms of storytelling, from books to TV to video games.

I'll try to post some ramblings, book reviews, and (of course) pictures of my cat, Coraline.

Hope y'all have a great weekend! Stay safe out there.
