I'm back in the archives (The Times this time) and I keep getting jump-scared by the name of this play from 1931.

Would you keep reading from this opening?

Tentatively having another go at my novel 'Frankenstein's Golem.

If I get literally nothing else done today, at least I achieved a killer bilingual pun.

Didn't expect to write a #napowrimo poem today but this one wanted to exist.

No prompt but the general horrors.

CW for internalised misogyny / cissexism

Another sponsored #napowrimo poem, this time by my friend Teddy who asked for one about our LARP characters Adeline and Solomon.

Yiddish terms:

"Meyn teyerer" = "my dear"
"schmattes" = "rags, made from scraps"

Today's #napowrimo poem is another sponsored one. My friend Jenna requested one about her LARP character Juniper, and since I play a poet in that game I decided to write it in-character. #napowrimo2025 #poetry #writingcommunity

Ohhhh there was some sapphic drama going down in 1931.

(I'm back on British Newspaper Archives. Send a search party if I'm not back in a week.)

Today's sponsored #Napowrimo poem is for my friend Wol, who picked the topic. #napowrimo2025 #poetry #writingcommunity

Another sponsored poem for trans rights. My friend Jess requested the topic of Injustice. Felt appropriate to bump it up the list for today. #napowrimo2025 #napowrimo #poems #writingcommunity

This Napowrimo poem is dedicated to @elliesparrowart.bsky.social, who bought a sponsored poem slot by donating to a trans rights charity.

Ellie gave me free reign so I did an ekphrastic poem based on one of their paintings (linked below).

Little #napowrimo poem for today. Jumped off from the prompt "Write about your favourite meal/snack" from hiitssky on Instagram.

Back to #napowrimo after taking a break to be violently ill for a few days. Todays is from the prompt "What is the light you're walking towards?" #poetry #napowrimo2025 #writingcommunity

Today's #napowrimo poem is prompted by me getting Olaria Olara by Daniel Kahn and the Painted Bird stuck in my head. #napowrimo2025 #poetry #writingcommunity

#napowrimo poem for today. Not from a prompt, it just came to me. #napowrimo2025 #poetry #writingcommunity

Two #napowrimo poems today, cause I missed a day yesterday. #napowrimo2025 #poetry #writingcommunity

#napowrimo poem for today. Still using hiitssky on Instagram's prompts. Today's was 'Borrow an image from last night's dream'.

Conveniently, I'm having particularly vivid dreams at the moment.

Today's #napowrimo poem. Ohhhhh it's a soppy one 😛 #napowrimo2025 #poetry #writingcommunity

#napowrimo rough poem for April 2. Chose the words 'clay', 'gesture' and 'remedy' from the prompt here: www.instagram.com/p/DHrNURGBaN...

(anyone who knows me would know I'd see 'clay' and have to write about this 😅)

#WIPsnip from the draft chapters of 'Frankenstein's Golem' that I wrote for my dissertation. With how the story's re-shaping itself in my head, this conversation would probably take place later in the story. #writingcommunity
