I'm a tiny, little, Latina/Hispanic Lady. I was raised by an emotionally, borderline physically, abusive alcoholic.
I have known from a young age that the world is not fair.
I do not care. Spite fuels me.
I will continue pushing my words out to the world.
I will not be silenced.

THE WORDS I WROTE ARE MERELY THE ONES THAT I CAN CATCH.
STORIES SPEW FORTH AT A RATE MOST CANNOT COMPREHEND
(it's probably undiagnosed ADHD)
LIVES AND WORLDS CONSTANTLY WHIRL WITHIN MY MIND AND MY ONLY CHANCE AT SANITY IS TO EXPEL THESE THINGS ONTO A PAGE

Proud of this one.
Mi abuela wanted to be an astronaut, cuando Earth was still viable. I know all the stories about the space race. Now we all live in ships, plodding from one planet to the next. But I'm no astronaut. So I paint the walls black and hang una foto she gave me. A single dot of azul in a beam de luz.
On an interplanetary merchant ship, strictly enforced rules and regulations are how a crew survives with ship intact and food properly rationed. Even so, each crewmember is allowed a few grams of paint and personal items for their bunk. What does your cot look like?

Sometimes I love the little drabbles I make. Sometimes they hurt.
This time was both, and I had to record it and listen to it. My accent needs to be thicker, rougher.

I think the best part of SDCC was when a kid came to our table and read the entirety of IT’S NOT SCARY to her 4-year-old cousin. She did all the voices and everything, practically pro quality! Couldn’t believe it. Anyway hire that kid for something!

The flooring people were supposed to be here 9-4.
They got here at 10:30, and it is now 5:30.
This is the point in time I hate the most. I can't make a decision about dinner because too many variables.

TFW party of writing your story is researching highways for a road trip.
Like I know which way my family used to always take. I don't need directions for that.
But it's important that road blocks happen.
So now I gotta find roads to go the wrong way.
