New Poetry Book! Plus, Lit. Update

As many will already know, I have been active on a new platform: NaNoWriMo. It's been somewhat challenging getting to know the people on there, but it turns out that has given me more time and - strangely - more motivation to write. The first draft of the new poetry book is complete and revisions… Continue reading New Poetry Book! Plus, Lit. Update

Poetry: “A Sparkle in the Velvet”

A balm upon an angry wound A quite impromptu hymn A whisper amongst shouting The silence of the din. A caress amongst the beatings A tear that grazes stone A single bird without a cage A mending of the bone. A sparkle in the velvet A well in barren land A lily in the valley… Continue reading Poetry: “A Sparkle in the Velvet”

Lit. and Life Update: Short story, Publishing plans, and the Year ahead

My autobiographical short story "A Lesson in the Fine Art of Living" went up last week. This week, I wanted to share a little about what has taken place regarding my work and life in general.

Poetry: “Choosing Sides”

I awoke one day to find a cryptic lie had seized my mind. I awoke one day to see illusions claiming I was free. I awoke one day to feel the seven deadly, putrid seals. I awoke one day to think how near my soul came to the brink. I awoke one day to do… Continue reading Poetry: “Choosing Sides”

Lit. Update: Future Steps

It feels good to finally have my poetry book released in some form. However, the work doesn't stop there. Now I face the challenges of promoting it. As I already knew, "self-publishing" requires you to fund most of the work yourself. It gets disheartening and a bit stressful, but it's what I have to do… Continue reading Lit. Update: Future Steps
