@rae Oop sorry a lot of things happened between when I last replied and now, haha. Let me find it…

Outside there was a guy on a skateboard riding around the half-deserted lot in front of the store. He had blonde hair that was getting in need of a hair cut, and wire glasses perched dangerously on the end of his nose as he attempted a flip.…[Read more]

@rae Interesting, interesting. I’ll give you a quick rundown of the couple of works from the past few years which I would more seriously consider publishing, in order that I wrote them.

Jacobson’s – Joey Garcia, working at a small seaside shop called Jacobson’s, is ready for yet another listless summer in his stagnant life. But after a customer…[Read more]

@rae Wow, that’s kinda embarassing for me, I was kinda hoping all my posts from those times would be buried, hahaha.

Well, I’m still ploughing through college, trying to think about what I’m gonna do after graduation. I want to write, but I don’t know how realistic that is. I’ve completed a couple novels that I feel are decent quality at this…[Read more]

Awesome, @acancello! I prefer that one too! 🙂

I’ll think about it for sure, @light-warrior-pen. 🙂

@avancello, your comments made my day! I’m so glad you like my poem! 🙂 It really makes sharing it worthwhile! I was seriously thinking about just burying this poem after editing it, but maybe I’ll publish it somewhere after all.

I’m actually considering altering one of those lines slightly, so I’m curious about what you think.

It would be…[Read more]

Endings are tricky, aren’t they? @light-warrior-pen ? Sometimes they come naturally and effortlessly, but most of the time they take a lot of staring at the WIP, then staring off at nothing, then staring at the WIP again, then writing gibberish, then…

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]

@lydia-s Thanks… I’m out of work now for like a week and a half, so things are brighter already. Probably lol.

@loopylin Aww, thank you! It’s mainly just. A lot of stresses and anxieties adding up together, especially since I’ve been basically under solitary confinement for the majority of this summer, but I only have a week left, so I’m just praying it gets better then, because at least I’ll have more to distract myself with. Thank you for your prayers…[Read more]

@lydia-s Extreme lack of sunlight. Making me question life and myself and everything else. Losing my mind daily. No writing to be seen or heard. I wish I had made different choices for this summer, but it is too late for regret.

@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!

@godlyfantasy12

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]

@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?

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]

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?
