Ten Thing of Thankful #4 | Passing Uni Exams & Summer Break
It has been a few weeks since my last Ten Thing of Thankful entry. As some people may already know, I was very busy with university and the exam period, which is why I was absent from this blog-hop for two weeks. Anyway, if you enjoy reading about gratitude and gratefulness, you can find the other participants at the link-up . Ten Thing of Thankful #4 First — as I already mentioned in my six-sentence story intro, I passed the math test. It was the one course that I was scared of not passing. However, somehow with the last test I managed to score 24 points out of 30 which, if you knew me and how bad I have been at math… is an achievement on its own (the first test two months prior was…
Short Story | Lady In-Between
“Lady in-Between” is a short story about a single mother of four coping with the loss of her husband to suicide. The story reveals her internal struggles as she watches her children play, caught between grief and survival. This short story explores the depths of loss and the resilience required to move forward. Short Story | Lady In-Between How many times in my life have I felt completely overwhelmed by the tide of emotions and the ensuing silence of a depression that could incapacitate even the strongest of men? Some say it is the natural flow of life. “There is beauty in the ups and downs” —but I feel as if I am in the sea, desperately keeping myself afloat… Only to be engulfed by the tide behind. And how many times have I accidentally swallowed the water and only then realized how…
Poetry On the margins of the First Draft #11 | Feral
Part of my poetry and reflections project, Margins of the First Draft — What? This is scandalous. (Authors Note) Feral Oh He makes me go feral,Look at me. A kitten,A lioness,A fly,A wolf,A sheep, A lady choking on butterflies. Poetry on the Margins #11 Writers block, or not? Why did I stop writing poetry?This one is actually really good. I always thought it was because poetry made me feel naked.Humiliated.I felt like I was standing butt nakedin front of a crowd with all the lights on me. To create, perhaps, is to be a bitexposed?!?! And perhaps there is a correlation between a naked womanand poetry. After all,I amslightlyscandalous. And I can leave a grown man tongue-tiedif I want to too….

Six Sentence Story #12 | Prompt Word: SWING
It seems I had forgotten how the weekly six-sentence story prompts work… Last week, I thought I was late for the blog hop and ended up posting with the same prompt word as this time. The story itself can be found here. The weekly writing challenge is hosted by…
Six Sentence Story #11 | Prompt Word: SWING, FLOAT
On a Sunday evening I found myself thinking that I had been wanting to return to my blog, and also to writing prompts again. Unfortunately the link-up for the Six-Sentence Story ends on Saturday evening, so I was a little late for the blog hop part. Still, I wrote…
Poetry On the margins of the Second Draft #1 | Existential Crisis
I haven’t been actively posting poetry or anything for a while—partly because of time, but mostly because I haven’t been getting along with my imagination lately. Too many of my poems were directed at people in my life, and I felt it was better to stay quiet on the…
Poetry On the margins of the First Draft #20 | Nothing
The final piece of Margins of the First Draft—a strange piece of poetry about inspiration being found in someone elses work. I’m a little sad that this is the last piece of this section.Hopefully, I’ll create more in the future as I myself liked making it, I think I…
Poetry On the margins of the First Draft #19 | Acceptance
Part of my poetry collection, Margins of the First Draft — where I write more poetry inspired by my old poetry. Poetry is weird, this piece I actually read many times and thought that wow, it’s like from a 19th century play or something. (Authors Note) Acceptance But…
