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
(part 1 here) ((Trying to return to the Short Story Challenge, but I’m a day late aha;; As usual, all writing uploaded is closer to a first draft rather than a final, but I hope you enjoy all the same.)) A Fairytale (part 2) In the winter, as flowers died and trees fell asleep, the call… Continue reading 6 – A Fairytale (part 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
The last month of the year – we’re all gearing up for the end of 2016, and boy do we all need it. I’m heading into final exams, too, but after that is winter vacation! And I’m going to have all the time in the world, too, since I don’t have any plans for winter… Continue reading Update: Almost Over

Well, I’ve been acutely aware of my lack of sexual orientation, lately, so I suppose now is as good at time as any to give it a go, haha.) Love Blossoms – November 27th, 2016 I never understood that… Continue reading Poems from an Aromantic Asexual
(Hello! I was recently inspired, but as usual, I write poetry to get out negative emotions, ahaha. I’m pretty happy with how these turned out, but they’re also pretty mean thoughts, so make of it what you will. I’m not ashamed of how I feel – it’s all about how I conduct myself in reality, after… Continue reading Poems of Negativity
If asked several years ago, teenage me would have claimed that I never wrote from experience. I assumed that people who wrote from experience were just writers who lacked imagination. Presently, every protagonist I write is, in some form, an emotional surrogate I have created, and I am prouder for it. I suppose, then, the… Continue reading My Experience Writing from Experience
That’s biweekly as twice a week, not every two weeks. Don’t you hate it when one word means two completely different things? And those contranyms, honestly, does “sanction” mean official permission or official penalty? No one knows. Context clues. In any case, now that I’m done directing this play, I have time to devote to… Continue reading Back to Biweekly
“How is a river like a war?” “They both create new borders.” So though they turn blind eyes towards The war about to dawn Perhaps they can see the river rise They need not see because here, they feel it Down by the riverside The water, once lapping at their feet, a threat Grows bolder, grows colder, grows furious… Continue reading Riverside
“All the world’s a stage” and “Life is a game”… Those are two quotes you hear often enough. My take on the situation is more like this: Life is a casino, with fancy shows and silly games, where the stakes are what you make of them. Time management is a table I frequent, but boy… Continue reading Update: Prioritization
