A friend of mine calls me an auto-sadist. Apparently I like to set myself up for situations that cause me frustration and suffering. It's true, though - why else would I be a writer? I find nothing harder than writing. To me, it's like having to breathe manually (sorry if you're all doing that now). However, like breathing, I also can't live without it. What a dilemma. I was born in Manhattan; half-raised in Westfield, NJ; half-raised in Seoul, South Korea; and now I attend college in the Greater Boston Area. I don't drink coffee or soda, love strawberries and Godiva chocolate, and my favorite video game of present day is (still) Undertale.

2018

December 30, 2017December 30, 2017 sablescmLeave a comment

I was going to make a lengthy post, but I actually am not feeling up to it right now, so instead, here’s a simple list of my resolutions this following year: Since I had such success in removing tortilla chips (and really, chips in general) from my diet, I’ve decided to try reducing some other… Continue reading 2018

Finals and Fatalism

December 16, 2017December 14, 2017 sablescmLeave a comment

By the time this post goes up, finals will have been over and I’ll probably be getting dressed up to go watch The Shape of Water, which I have been eagerly awaiting since the very first trailer. So, why am I writing this post now, when I still have finals to go? Because, by god, I… Continue reading Finals and Fatalism

A Poem: young gods

December 13, 2017December 4, 2017 sablescmLeave a comment

young gods – inspired February 15, 2017, completed April 30, 2017 the era of creation done inheriting the corpse of one “your time to shine has just begun” “your time to shine has just begun” dogged by prayers full of tears inheriting the people’s fears “they’ve just grown weak over the years” “they’ve just grown weak over the years” promised… Continue reading A Poem: young gods

Poetry: Anxious Bodyhorror

December 6, 2017December 3, 2017 sablescm1 Comment

((I was feeling anxious earlier this week, so I decided to explore where the physical sensation of anxiety takes me when I try to express it. None of it actually makes sense, ahaha)) November 29, 2017 The egg within my ribcage cracks Dripping yolk in the hollow of me I catch it in my hands… Continue reading Poetry: Anxious Bodyhorror

Update: A Writer’s Winter

December 2, 2017December 1, 2017 sablescm3 Comments

I can honestly say that there are few feelings I find as satisfying as writing a good story. When the plot comes together and metaphorical ink starts to flow, I’m filled with a sense of ease. I plan to make this sensation a regular rather than a rarity this winter.  In this past year, I… Continue reading Update: A Writer’s Winter

Flash Fiction: Unnerving

November 29, 2017November 26, 2017 sablescm5 Comments

How unnerving do you think it would be if you were a team sport player, like for basketball or soccer or volleyball, and you went to play at a major tournament, and for the entire match, the audience is dead silent? No cheers. No music. Not even the crinkle of a water bottle, the rustle of… Continue reading Flash Fiction: Unnerving

Podcast Recs (November 2017)

November 11, 2017November 11, 2017 sablescm1 Comment

Over the past two years, podcasts have become an integral part of my life. I was born at an odd era, where the rapid advance in technology meant that the radio was on a decline and my love of reading books meant that I never really gave audio books a chance. All this means that… Continue reading Podcast Recs (November 2017)

Update: Onwards

November 4, 2017November 4, 2017 sablescm3 Comments

saw a post on Tumblr the other day. It read, “This Autumn, let something die,” and it was about letting go of things that have run their course. Although nature can’t seem to decide whether it’s summer or autumn yet, or if it will just skip ahead to winter, I’m going to just make the executive… Continue reading Update: Onwards

A Hint of Necromancy

October 28, 2017October 27, 2017 sablescm1 Comment

The hallowed evening approaches, and what better time of year to revive a dead blog? Happy Halloween, readers mine, should any of you be left. Summer was rougher than I anticipated and, unfortunately, and this blog ended up buried under my other responsibilities. I regret that. I let myself believe that taking a break from… Continue reading A Hint of Necromancy

Steam Summer Sale 2017 (oh no)

June 23, 2017June 23, 2017 sablescmLeave a comment

(?? WordPress is uploading this in Korea-time rather than EST like I have it set to do, and I’m not sure why…) So it’s that time of year again. Shortly after E3, which was mercifully disappointing this year, comes the far more conniving, more brutal Steam Sale. Unless you stay vigilant, you’re probably going to… Continue reading Steam Summer Sale 2017 (oh no)
