Imposter Syndrome
Read more: Imposter SyndromeI always find myself feeling like an imposter whenever I write, like I’m putting on some kind of act or pretending to be better than I am. Convincing myself that other people want to hear what I have to say and, even worse, convincing myself that they don’t. I’m not sure I’ve developed a technique…

The Last Flower
Read more: The Last FlowerSome called it a weed, As it crept through the cracks, Of a land over filled, With pollution and greed. Its beauty lost, in the greyed-out world that surrounded it. Fumes attempted to choke its very existence, Dirtying it and blocking it from light. But it did not falter. It grew on. In a world…

Sorry for disappearing!
Read more: Sorry for disappearing!So I have been MIA for quite awhile… A mixture between bad technology, writer’s block, and life happened! I now have a computer, some ideas for writing/social media, and I (we) brought a house! So, touch wood, I should have a bit more freedom to write again. It feels weird coming back here. It feels…

Here I am and here you’ll find me
Read more: Here I am and here you’ll find meThere’s this endless void, at the end of my words a repetitive voice that will never be heard. Each tap, I make, each word I write, meet their death without a fight. Unpublished, unproked, unknown, unnoted. the undesired and undevoted meet in the footnotes of a text unquoted. But here I am and here you’ll…

Read more: Mental Health Day, Writers’ Block, and Book Reviews…Today is World Mental Health Day and, as a writer who uses her own anxiety as a driving force behind her writing, I wanted to write something creative to signify it but, alas, I have writers’ block. The cruel twist of fate that is my own mental health clogging my brain and preventing words from…

The birthday goals of an introvert
Read more: The birthday goals of an introvertI bought myself flowers for my birthday… Can I just rant for a moment? It was my birthday a couple of days ago and I did nothing, diddly squat, naff all, and it was great! Yet, for some reason, the rest of the world wanted to judge that and attempt to make me question that…
