So I was googling myself today for no particular reason... I found old blogs that I didn't realize had been reblogged, found a poem on Poetry Nook and like....how did it get there??? I vaguely remember submitting to there circa 2012 (or earlier). But anyway, there's a poem there and it's really bad (also there's … Continue reading August Wrap Up (really I’m just excited about September)
Summer 2020 sucked. Summer 2021 has sucked in its own way too, not least because of the constant cycle of disasters world over and the stream of bad news. Though we may not have had murder hornets this year, we did have people trying to convince us to eat cicadas. The amount of creativity I've … Continue reading thoughts from a writer melted by summer
It's a clear morning, and it's cool. There are no clouds in the sky, except for thin ones low on the horizon, sitting behind the trees like mist. A crow calls. Bugs hum and chirp in the branches, making the air vibrate with sound, a reminder that it is in fact still summer, though it … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 59
I uh....love fall (on the Buzzfeed quiz I got 100% autumn) If I could enter through a pumpkin portal into a perpetually fall world, I would and I would stay there (with an occasional vacation because I also like being warm). (Also, please understand that though my love for fall is endless and knows no … Continue reading a fall mood blog for all us freaks buying pumpkins in august
My grand return to blogging and social media has begun. Where am I??? Where have I been??? Who have I been?? (Who have I been?? Getting a little too existential there.) In October of 2019, I gave up on Twitter for some reason. I gave up on Instagram in 2020 for some reason (maybe it … Continue reading I am not dead, presumed or otherwise
1. 4th of July weekend. The lake is wild today, white caps topping the waves like thick oil paint. The water itself is nearly three different colors, dark grey, green, and bright blue, as if the wind is mixing the water up and dividing it. Back across the road, they are setting up a carnival. … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post Vol. 58
1. It's super duper windy today at the lake. In general it’s been very windy lately. I like wind. I like watching the trees bend and seeing the leaves fold over themselves, like they’re ducking for cover. Strong wind feels like a warning, and a lot of times it is. If anything in nature could … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 57
1. Being an introvert can be hard…(I’m an introvert, in case anyone didn’t know). Being an introvert can feel like you’re constantly trying to be more extroverted. Constantly pushing yourself to be more sociable, and constantly brushing up on your people skills. We usually don’t talk about the benefits of being an introvert. Only the … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 56
Ok wow. Just wow. I mean I’m not really sure why I’m saying wow but just wow. (I’m saying “wow” because I missed April’s wrap up post, and actually missed a heck of a lot of posts in both April AND May and also it’s June???? We’re halfway through the YEAR????) It’s June. Let's just … Continue reading May and April Wrap Up: in which I return from the ends of the earth
