31 - fantasy/contemporary sci-fi writer/part-time poet - temporarily taking a break from life’s obligations to write and hopefully become published ✍️🧠
Pinned
Mentally preparing my novel and just trying to survive lately is leaving me a bit unhinged, so have some pretty (or awful, depending on who I’ve managed to temporarily render baffled at my existence) prose scooped up from the deepest depths of my poor, ailing brain 😩😂
One thing I can say is that I’m most brilliant when the life in me has burnt up like a white dwarf 🤷♀️🌟

We’re volatile,
But we completely internalize it
It’s whispers on the cusp of deliverance,
Broken by the fear of being looked down upon
It’s seeing the world through a kaleidoscopic lens and having the colors bleed down our eyes

I think I bring a deeper meaning to “tortured poet”
The pain keeps me alive
But it shakes the hand from my withered fingers
I lie in my prose
I’ve forgotten it
I’m just here,
biting onto my lip to drain me of oxygen
The pain keeps me alive

✨I know that I've been quiet lately, but I thought I'd take a moment to showcase my work real quick and let people know that I've published my poetry book (and first book, to boot!) 😁❤️

You remind me of the people I’ve been before
My stomach full of square knots as the sink in me pours
An unkempt brain slowly losing its touch
And an iron fortress suddenly becomes a bit much…

I want the kind of love that lights up if you give it kerosine
Instead of the kind that makes me feel obscene
Like I have to scrub every trace of them clean
In a futile attempt to erase the image of me they must have in their heads from the scene…

Warning to fellow authors and poets: even when you are careful as can be, scammers will still take advantage of your vulnerableness, your enthusiasm, and your willingness.

Hello friends and neighbors 👋 Does anyone have suggestions on where to find a decent book cover designer who avoids using AI? My poetry book is nearly finished and I’m looking to have the cover for it made.

Had no idea what the ending would bring, but it wasn’t that. Why didn’t anyone warn me? 😩 😂

I just don't have the energy or confidence to do social media properly right now.
I wrote a book. It's really good. It has beautiful nature writing, it's smart, it's honest in a way that is rare, it covers many important/difficult themes & it's really funny.

Goal today: get through a chapter or two of my novel 📚
Actual reality: probably just going to continue to doom scroll, just because 😂
Fingers crossed on some sort of productiveness with the prior 🤞

I like that I can still attract people to my work, even though I’ve been struggling to find the ability to write lately. I am so beyond grateful to the ones that enjoy what I put out into the world, however insignificant.

Just posting a few random excerpts from my upcoming poetry book in the hopes it will gain an audience. Not sure what I’m doing, but I’ll persevere regardless 🤞

I would love you with every fiber of my being,
and you would simply look at me as if I were straw to be trampled and desecrated on,
as if I am deserving of having my bare flesh be maimed,
as if in loving you,
I have given up all my humanity, just to be touched by your feet...

Scrawl, paint, dream.

They can break us, but the ink will still flow.
Lead will still flow through our veins.
Nothing can hide away our passion, or our outrage.
Nothing can silence their mistakes…

Just switched platforms to fight against the current onslaught of horror and chaos. For everyone, including myself, that is feeling discouraged and outside their depth, it’s going to be okay. We’re going to make it.
