My insecure little writer’s heart is absolutely bursting. Especially after the ARC readers threw so much shade at me.

In my dream last night @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com announced he would not continue the Good Omens series because he didn’t want to fuel any more angst-ridden PhD-level discussions on the topic & suggested everyone should read some Tolstoy & get outside a bit.
I’m heartbroken & bemused.

The flowers make up for the pollen… 🤧
Her music she freely gives
yet when I slip her beneath my skin
roll her essence under my tongue
secret her into patchwork pockets
I am a thief thick with the night
made rich on these private treasures
yet when I slip her beneath my skin
roll her essence under my tongue
secret her into patchwork pockets

The Entangled poets were born from the best of what that other space had to offer more than 4 years ago. We’ve morphed into family & now our baby is about to be born! 😱🤯
In the meantime, we celebrate each other with grand aplomb 🥳🤩

I’m running from
End of the World
Behind me’s
Naught but ash
They say there’s but
BlueSky ahead
So for that sky
I dash
Keep moving, they say
Don’t look back
Or you’ll be turned
To salt
Behind me
Old World
Fades to #black
And it’s a madman’s fault
#vss365

The pages press upon me
with their silent insistence.
Sibilant susurrations of unread
books in the wind, leaving me
waiting, wanting - one chapter
more before switching off
to return, to the world beyond
the wave carved stacks.
