This is one of the poems I read during my IG reading back in Year 5 of Quarantine. I wrote this for a prompt: “Build the Wall/All Walls Fall.” What I Know About Walls I know that there is something that does not love them.

quarantine blogging: shameless self-promotion
My essay “A Meditation: on Safety, Fear, and Rage”–which is also about the owls in the yard, the kid across the street, the obnoxious dude next door, and Kill Bill–is in the second issue of Fuckit: A Zine! $3 on Etsy, gang! It’s not what I meant to write, but it got written. One wordContinue reading “quarantine blogging: shameless self-promotion”
Quarantine blogging: squirrel brain
Squirrel brain this evening; no focus at all. Yeah, just lost the thread of what I was going to say two seconds ago, yay. Finished a draft today!

Story promotion: “The Lost Languages of Exiles”
“The Lost Languages of Exiles,” at Metaphorosis for your reading pleasure, is a romance. Romances are new territory for me. I used to say I don’t write romance–not in any sort of superior way; in an ‘I have no idea how to do it’ way. And now look at me–two romances! Two! And a time travel story,Continue reading “Story promotion: “The Lost Languages of Exiles””
eBook update 1
What I learned today: 1. I can create and export ePub and Mobi files with Scrivener. 2. I need to figure out the Table of Contents and a cover image. 3. I wrote a story for which a cover image of some generic Florida sunset ain’t gonna work. God help me.
