Thanks, @elanor ! 😀

You grasped the concept of my poem perfectly! I’m glad you enjoyed it and found it relatable. 🙂 Because it’s very personal, I really wasn’t sure if anyone would be interested in it. I’m glad I decided to share it!

I’m still working on those last lines. I’m torn between fleshing them out and changing them a bit to better…[Read more]

Thanks, @light-warrior-pen ! I’m glad you liked my imagery. 😊

The subject is me, the author, and the boat and sea is a fictional, metaphorical dream I used to describe the feeling of living in myself, I suppose. (Although I was next to the sea and I have been in wooden boats many times. My da is a fisherman, so.)

I’m glad you pointed that out…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

love the idea! I also have physical disabilities and a lot (read pretty much all lol) of my friends do too!

because it’s such a huge part of my life it shows up in my writing all the time as well!

I think its also important to remember there’s a difference between mental illness and neurodivergence. Neurodivergence is just part of the wonderful diversity of humanity, it’s not good or bad, just as any other physical aspect isn’t good or bad. Mental illness is obviously an illness. There can be a lot of overlap of course though!

This is a topic super close to my heart too!

I have anxiety, depression, and 99.99% sure I have ADHD too (I’ve had a preassessment which was “concerning” but not a full assessment yet). I also have really awful intrusive thoughts as a lovely side effect to anxiety/depression, so I completely get you there. They used to bother me…[Read more]

Nice poem, @acancello! And I like yours, @mineralizedwritings, and the Masked and Victory poems, @elanor. 🙂

I haven’t written any lately, I’ve been so busy with work. Maybe I’ll write one this weekend.

@whalekeeper

I’m rudely butting in because now we’re talking about science and that’s one of my Topics of Passion. I’m more on the side of old earth creationism though, fair warning 😆.

The problem with the argument that nothing can be added to dna is that both YEC and evolutionists rely on rapid additions to dna. If we accept that all our cur…[Read more]

@keilah-h The what??? Time to look back at my old posts….. 😛

OH. That’s not mine that is @power ‘s. Mine is the one above that

@seekjustice YOU’RE HERE!!! 😀 Yeah I totally understand haha!

I’m not too bad. I’ve been focusing my energy on drawing and other things instead of writing over the past few years, although I do have an idea for a writing project that I just need to get over the writer’s block for haha. How’ve you been???

@euodia-vision Yeah, it’s a place to…[Read more]

@dekreel

HEELLLLOOOO! I’ve missed you too! I’ve been hanging around here a lot lately but not commenting on anything, because everyone seems to be so young talking about things I do not understand (#OldLady).

How are you doing? Working on anything lately?

I would like to bring this back once again. Good place to chat while you’re working on stuff. It’s supposed to help people be motivated to write if they know someone else is doing it with you while also chatting with you……. emphasis on *supposed to*, I’m notoriously bad at focusing when I’m talking to people haha, but I’ve always loved the…[Read more]

That’s fun, @elanor! 🙂

This is my most recent poem. Most of my poetry is brief in length. Usually, I get out an idea or a feeling and then stop.

Forgottenings

Sediments of nostalgia shape a place:

Like icing on a cake, wrinkles in a face

Aging, changing, but ever the same feelings,

Nameless emotions, memories stirring

Like ghosts,…[Read more]

@artsy-dragon Oh that robot is so cool

@keilah-h Hi um I am so so so sorry I’ve been unfaithful with posting here. I’m gonna go ahead and withdraw Hazel for now so Feather can do their own thing.

I’ve always been like this in roleplay-like situations… I’ll be super excited about it, prepare a character, brainstorm ideas, write the first segment…. and then immediately lose…[Read more]

Thanks, @freedom. Sometimes I have to remind myself that it’s not like I’m slaying a dragon, I’m just writing a book. How dangerous can it be?

I just finished a storybook-ish style piece featuring my “adopted” charries from a fan story I’ve been working on. Fun to work on 😀

Thanks, @esther-c and @lightoverdarkness6. 😁👍

I’m working on convincing my writing to become a book and not just random scribbles. I’ll let y’all know how it goes. 🙂
