Stumbled across this partial repost in my ‘maybe turn into a poem’ folder last week and it was… timely. I’m so keen, champing at the bit even, to start looking ahead, looking outward, reaching for this new future I have before me, and it’s so very hard to be patient, to walk slowly, sustainably, to […]

This is so not a ‘creative’ thing I made, and honestly my husband + daughter made most of it, but it’s what we have this week so it will do 😛 ha. Behold, the second garden bed! Read more:Unreasonable Expectations 😛A Reminder That You're Actually Allowed To Breathe, Okay? If You Want To Get Out

Just a short musing. Something happened in my personal life last week that left me feeling – as my husband aptly supplied for me – discouraged. So I was contemplating the word in the shower, and it struck me that the opposite of discourage is encourage and both of them have the root word courage,

It’s a reposty kind of week because Time is a Thing which is apparently Limited (and I am not okay with this).

Behold, the 15th has come around again somehow and there is yet another new Inklet in the world! It’s not one of mine, though, it’s Reincarnation by Liana Brooks, a deceptively cute story about what would happen if reincarnation were a) non-optional and also b) retroactive. Oh, and by the way, c) you kind of
It’s too hard to coordinate getting photos into the post this week – covid fatigue, burnout fatigue, parenting fatigue, emotional fatigue – it’s been a rough two weeks. So instead, you get a poem that I wrote last week, which I am definitely counting as ‘making something’. <3 On Healing: A Letter To Myself With

Other much more expert people than I have had much to say on this topic, so I intend to keep this brief. But I just wanted to note that so far, in my experience, being brave has never let me down yet. Lonely and feeling nervous to reach out? Do it. There are so many
This is the other Age Of Unicorns story I mentioned yesterday, the one with the slightly squishy middle that I wrote in, like, 2016 maybe?? Nevertheless, enjoy 😀 <3 “I’M SORRY,” THE DOCTOR said softly as we stood in the hallway outside my apartment. “There’s nothing else I can try. Nothing’s working any more. Your

Hello it is Inklet day and I have a new Inklet to introduce you to. I also have EXTREMELY EXCITED SQUEEING because OMG YOU GUYS THE INKLETS ARE NEARLY DONE. (Did I say that last week? Possibly, I am very consistently excited right now about them being nearly done, but regardless, THIS WEEK THEY ARE

Getting back into the habit of things is significantly on my mind of late as I try to restart writing after 6 months off. I ended the month with nearly 15,000 words, which is pretty good for a cold start, considering I didn’t really write the first week of August and it’s been as aforementioned
