Six Sentence Story | Chaos #2 | Life as a Student
Basically, this part of my Sixes probably won't connect with many people, but it is something I thought would be fun to read back once I have graduated… so this is the other side of me that perhaps isn't very often seen or known by those who read my poetry or creative work. I am tired because I didn't sleep enough this week.. I kinda slept 3-4 hours a day... The weekly prompt is still provided by Denise and all the entries can be accessed through the link-up. The first addition can be accessed on my sixes standalone entries page or through this link. Six Sentence Story | Chaos #2 This week I was so lazy that I only did what was requested of me, and I also seem to have put so much mental energy into my school that I feel as if my creativity is crumbling; I mean, I do have ideas, but I...
dVerse OLN #5 | My Ars Poetica
I originally wanted to submit this for the last dVerse Poetica submission.... But I was late to the link-up because life got in my way... I still wanted to use this prompt, so I linked it up at the OLN. Entries of all the participants can be found here. My Ars Poetica In the earliest of my writing days,Poetry was a mechanism to ease the solitudeof being the odd pencil in the box:it was a canvas for the bubbling rage of a teenage girltrapped in the corners of her psyche,and a self-centered desire for validation,a "look what they have done to me" ode—now buried in the depths of the internetunder a pen name nobody remembers. But I have been growing alongside my creations,with language aimed at my central lobe,manipulating the syntax to control the daggerwhile concealing my own woundswith...
Ten Thing of Thankful #21 | Tech & Visiting Family
I almost forgot to write my weekly Ten Grats'… Such a shame… but honestly, I have been doing so much that I actually don't even know what to write about anymore… Anyway, you can find all the other participants at the link-up… or choose to participate… Ten Thing of Thankful #21 First—Sixers. I am so sorry that I haven't yet read or commented on everyone's posts… but I will do it this week. I have been super busy resting this weekend. However, the Six Sentence blog hop gives one a reason to write every week, even if I personally feel that my creativity has been greatly affected by my other responsibilities. Second—TToT. This blog hop is a weird one—it makes you look at your week, and no...
Short Story | Demigods are Worshipped in Wine
This short story delves into the life of a woman who uses poetry, wine, and music as a way to worship a love that never materializes. For quite a long time, my writing was inspired by 19th-century writers and their way of portraying obsessive and unrequited love. If I’m honest, I don’t really like my old stories, because it feels like I was always trying to be something I’m not as a writer. I don’t write compelling plotlines like many of the authors I read in the blog-hop community. However, they were written because I wanted to hone my ability to write plots, which has never been my strongest skill as a poet. Short Story | Demigods are Worshipped in Wine This night was like many others. She was preparing her space to write poetry. It was as if she was preparing to worship a God of a...
Poetry On the margins of the First Draft #15 | Desperation
Part of my poetry collection, Margins of the First Draft—I know how this poem was written. This one I remember: I was listening to an Egyptian singer, and I was struck by how he conveyed obsessive love. I wanted to borrow that style, because it was so strong and somehow unhinged that I wanted something like it in my own writing. (Authors Note) Desperation What is the worth of my love If I can not paint the city walls With the colour of his eyes Poetry on the Margins #15 The Worth of My Love It's the writer’s ache —to immortalize this feeling of admiration,desperation, longing, ache. Whatever you wanna call it — it is. Otherwise, what was this feeling worth?If I can't create from it,grow...

the Six Sentence Café & Bistro #10 | The Rudeness Continues
I was editing this with Sonia by Mirar blasting in my ears... contrary to popular belief about music as such, it calms my brain and makes me able to think on a few continuous threads instead of a hundred... if it makes sense... I mean.. it helps me structure my...
Ten Thing of Thankful #14 | Music, Community & Behind the Scenes
This week has been very productive for me in the areas of blogging that I usually don't talk about... But also outside of it... Writing down my ten things of grats' has become one of my favorite parts of the week, as it reminds me—someone who is so prone to feeling...
the Six Sentence Café & Bistro #9 | How Rude is This?
Every week, Denise, aka GirlieOnTheEdge, gives us a prompt word for a story that must be written in exactly six sentences. It has become one of my favorite ways to construct a story—or a poem—and, even more so, I have discovered that contributing to the collaborative...
a POEM IN SIX #2 | Prompt Word: YARN | Linked to dVerse OLN
Какая ночь! Я не могу and Не гляди на меня с упрёком: These songs were playing on repeat as I wrote this poem. I used to write like this quite often—from an emotion or thought evoked by a song—and I wanted to see if I could still do it. So the poem is largely inspired...
