I recently fell in love with a writing style, and I came up with a metaphor to describe it. I decided that it would be a fun exercise to do this with various stories and authors that I’ve grown to love: Angela Carter – “The Bloody Chamber” It’s a small glass bottle filled with liquids… Continue reading Describing Writing Styles 1
As a reminder, Wednesdays are for creative work and Saturdays are for everything else, including blog updates. However, seeing as this post regards a story of mine, particularly my attempt at a chronologically updating online story Crossing the Line, I thought it fitting to post it today. I struggle a lot with commitment. I start projects… Continue reading Commitment vs. Reconsideration
Well, I’ve officially been 21 years old for three days now, and seeing as it’s the first Saturday of the month, I’m actually supposed to give my monthly update now, ahaha. However, since my blog was pretty inactive the past month, I don’t have much to give update on, in that respect. So instead, I would… Continue reading Update: First 3 Days of Year 21

No one in my surroundings would know that, actually, but in the comfort of my blog, I can admit to it, and I can learn to live with it. Writing what I… Continue reading Poetry: High Negativity
15. Five most influential books over your lifetime. “There Will Come Soft Rains” by Ray Bradbury is the first piece of writing that I remember having a profound impact on me. It was an assigned reading in school at an age when everyone complained about assigned readings, but I fell in love. The house that… Continue reading Asklist: Identity Asks pt.2
There was an asklist on Tumblr, and there were several questions on it that I wanted to think on (regardless of whether or not anyone sends in an ask – a popular Tumblr blogger, I am not). The questions below are from this post, but I’ve put a lot of thought into my responses. I’ll… Continue reading Asklist: Identity Asks pt. 1
Today’s post was originally an M&M, but on my reblog account of Tumblr, there was a prompt to make a bucket list. I was surprised by some of the things that I wrote and charmed by the vision of the future my subconscious mind seemed fit to provide, so I thought I would share it… Continue reading May 2016 – A Bucket List
