I was under the impression that my schedule this semester was freer than ever, but now I have been forced to face the unfortunate realization that I do, in fact, have physical limitations. To be blunt, I am exhausted. I got out of paying a train fare the other day because I fell asleep the instant… Continue reading Update: Burnout
((I reorganized my Spotify last night, and I felt the urge to revisit this writing exercise I came up with a few years ago: I put my entire music library on shuffle mode, regardless of genre, and try to tell a coherent oneshot story using each song’s lyrics, mood, and or title to determine what happens… Continue reading Playlist Prompt 2
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
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

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
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
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
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
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
