Six Sentence Story #25 | Prompt Word: PINCH
For this week's Six Sentence Story—the prompt Denise provides us every week—I wrote a rather sad and dark piece of prose from the point of view of someone forced to care for a loved one struggling with addiction. As the subject may be distressing for some readers, please read with caution, if themes of addiction or its impact on loved ones may be triggering then perhaps try some of my other writings... I will add my other entry of this week to the SSC&B world too... All the participants can be found at the link-up... Six Sentence Story #25 You have lain in your bed since last night, your breath reeking of alcohol and the dried tears on your cheeks mimicking regret—the kind that runs circles around me.

Ten Thing of Thankful #13 | Writing, Poetry & Music
Showing my gratitude weekly has become something of an enjoyable routine for me. The Ten Thing of Thankful blog hop has this mood-lifting effect, both from trying to find your own ten grats' for the list and from reading everyone else's. You can find all the other participants or chose to link-up yourself at the link-up. Ten Thing of Thankful #13 First — I was very productive in the area of writing this week. And editing, too. I am proud of myself because I think I wrote some really cool things this time, and they're all a bit different. I removed one passage from the SSC&B story that described Aurelia's building. I actually liked it, but it slowed the story down a bit... For those...

Poetry On the margins of the First Draft #7 | Lust
Part of my poetry collection Margins of the First Draft — Nr 7 was written when I was 14 I believe, at such age I was so serious already and writing about love and desire as if I was an old woman already. (Authors Note) Lust And maybe We could Share a kiss or two, Let our worlds align Poetry on the Margins #7 Where the Hunger Lies I must confess the dirtiest and nastiest confession of my lifetime:I have a weakness — a weakness of such extent, I am almost blushing while typing it.

Six Sentence Story #18 | Prompt Word: HELP
Yet another week has passed, and it’s time to share another six-sentence story. However, this week’s prompt word made me derail into a psychologically dark theme. So, a small disclaimer before I let you read: if you are someone who may be triggered by domestic abuse...
Poetry On the margins of the Second Draft #3 | Bad Poetry
The pieces here aren’t really poems—I’m not doing as much poetry or reflection as I am just… writing. The Second Margins were meant to be more of a messy, experimental corner of my blog—something that might ignite my imagination and lead me back to poetry. However, if...

Six Sentence Story #17 | Prompt Word: FLAG
Yet another week has passed. If I’m honest, I’m always waiting for the Thursday blog hops so I can share my Six-Sentence Story of the week and read others and get out of my studies for a little bit (which I love but I need something more to life). Musically, I’ve been...
Ten Thing of Thankful #1 | A New Tradition
Since my blog and creative work often lean toward the dark and gloomy, I thought this blog hop might be a lovely chance to show, and also remind myself, that there are still things to be grateful for. So this is my very first entry for the Ten Thing of Thankful (TToT)...
