Even as someone who despises the taboo surrounding grief, I have always felt hesitant to write publically about my dead mom. I don’t know why. What’s the worst that can happen? It’s not like the world can take her from me again.

But, I can give a little bit of her to the world. Here’s to coping 💐

In Joffrey’s defence, he was only 13 and still had years of brain development ahead of him.

(imagine being so evil you’ve got me defending Joffrey??? JOFFREY???)

The best way to celebrate international writers’ day is to leave your writer friends alone so they can not write in peace today 🙏🏼

today’s newsletter is all about finding the yuck. even if you’re not a horror or thriller writer, you can tap into the power of the grotesque to elicit reactions from your readers and drive your themes home📓🌙👀

The six merry murderesses of the cook county jail but it’s the six murderesses of my writing time

- day job
- generation-wide social media addiction
- the horrors (all of them )
- my other day job because the first one isn’t enough to live on
- dark at 5pm
- dishes 😔

I just wrote 421 words in 45 minutes with defying gravity playing on a loop.

3 hours after bedtime.

Got inspired. Decided to chase it. It was fun. I’m so excited for this story. But idk about morning writing sprints tomorrow

The pacific northwestwern fog instilled a yearning so deep within me I had no choice but to write a poem and share it with the internet :
Picnic with sirens | nature poetry
A free verse poem inspired by the fog in Horne Lake, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Plus, a surprise celebrity sighting.
