The morning of November 6, I woke up, wrote a poem, and submitted it to @antiheroinchic.bsky.social. The raw anger rolled from my fingertips, and I left it untouched. This poem is rooted in grief and fear. It’s personal, based on my experiences alone. It’s the quiet parts said aloud. 1/

Something I've noticed now that I'm teaching: You can blow a new writer's mind by letting them in on the secret that writers have no idea what the fuck we're doing, and that when you see writers in movies and TV shows just clickity-clacking away with certainty, that is called fantasy.

If you are writing a book you aren’t an **aspiring** author, you ARE an author!

The perfect ratio of unread books you own to books you should buy is WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO BE BUT BUYING BOOKS IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA.

Hello, Bluesky! I don’t post often, but I promise I’m happy to be here! Looking forward to getting involved in the #writingcommunity as a fellow fiction writer and poet. I’m currently editing my first novel (why did no one tell me this was hard?! 😅) and writing sassy poems about my feelings. Say hi!
