Six Sentence Story #24 | Prompt Word: PLAN
It's time for the blog hoppers to join in and share their Six Sentence Stories at the link-up, where you can, by the way, find many awesome authors. The blog hop is hosted by Denise and this time I linked-up two entries: this one here and another for the collaborative world of the Six Sentence Café & Bistro. Musically, I'm currently listening to Sólstafir, but I've also been digging Zeal & Ardor and DeathbyRomy for the past week. Six Sentence Story #24 "Do you even have a fricking plan?" Tom was having a serious problem hiding his annoyance with me as I had taken on the project of redoing our bedroom's layout while asking for help with moving the bed three times: from the centre of the room to the window, across the window, and then had the audacity to ask him to rotate it...

Ten Thing of Thankful #8 | Aurelia, Coffee & Creative Joy
Ooh, it's Sunday, and I just remembered that the week is over and I should probably share my Ten Things of Thankful for the week, which has become kind of a ritual for me to show gratitude for the little things in life. Those little things matter because, all together, they make a big thing—if that makes sense, haha. Also, reading all the other authors' thankfuls makes the community feel super tight-knit and alive. It's truly a surge of serotonin at the end of the week. Please do check them out at the link-up! Ten Thing of Thankful #8 First — Six Sentence Story challenges provided by Girlie on the Edge. I wrote my first Six Sentence Story for the blog hop on May 26, 2022; that was shortly...

Poetry On the margins of the First Draft #8 | The Meeting
Part of my poetry collection, Margins of the First Draft. I had an idea when I actually collected the original poems together. They were supposed to tell a whole story all together and I wonder if anyone even noticed haha. I wonder where this original plot even came from now that I read these again. I guess that's what reading 19th century plays does to you. (Authors Note) The Meeting Dearest mother, Today I did my face, Subtly and garishly My cheeks the colour of peonies And my face pale from fear My eyes swollen from the arsenic I haven’t slept in days Poetry on the Margins #8 A Pretty Kind of Grief What is it about over-romanticizing sleep deprivation and lunacy?Or the Victorians using...

Poetry On the margins of the Second Draft #2 | Fragmented Poetry
I have wanted to do this for a while—try something like hybrid writing and mix poetry with reflections on the process itself. Sometimes it’s strange, as my mind tends to get inspired by lines from my old work, and then I write something new. The last Margins came to...
Six Sentence Story #13 | With Prompt Word: MARCH
I wanted to post this one warm and raw. This week’s six-sentence story feels more like a poem, and I was afraid that if I sat with it any longer, I’d over-refine it into something it isn’t. So it’s a bit of a crossbreed... an experiment for the blog hop or something...
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...
