Is it clichéd to talk about leaves on the first day of October? Is it lazy writing or just being opportunistic when the colours are all around you and your first prompt is nature so why not talk about the leaves? Continue reading
I’m an expert procrastinator. That isn’t a good thing, it’s just a fact.

But I’d typically fill it out the night before, make the final edits, make sure everything sounded right just before I clicked submit. Continue reading
About a month ago I bought a Charmed Aroma candle. I’d wanted one for a while for the simple reason most people bought them: they had a piece of jewelry inside of it. Rings were most common but you could get bracelets, earrings, necklaces, sometimes a couple of pieces of jewelry in one candle.

Valente does it again in The Refrigerator Monologues by creating a funny, horrifying, and memorable criticism on how women are portrayed in comics. Continue reading
Do you know what it’s like when everything is heavy? When you can feel that pit open up inside of you? When it gnaws and consumes and opens up all those vulnerable parts you try to hide away. All those parts you bury so that you don’t have to be hurt. Continue reading
(A weird nightmare I had a few nights back.) Continue reading
