This is the first scene of Kree Annihilators, comparing the 1st draft with how it looks after recent revisions. For this article, I broke it down into a few paragraphs at a time, with underlined sections from the first draft and non-underlined sections from post-revision (you may have to view this article on my websiteContinue reading “How I revise a story”

The Best Poetry Advice I’ve Ever Received
It’s simple: the point of poetry is to feel new feelings, or think new thoughts. Now if that’s not clear, you can go check out this 50-minute video ;) which taught me everything I know about poetry. (Just kidding. Kind of.) But here I’ll try to summarize and write some of my own opinions. ForContinue reading “The Best Poetry Advice I’ve Ever Received”
buy me a pizza, not a coffee, please
ways autistic traits impact my daily life #2 I’ve only had caffeine a few times in my life. They’ve all ended badly. Once when I was 10 or 12 or 13, I had a can of soda with caffeine. It wasn’t even the whole can. Probably less than half. Unfortunately for my family, we wereContinue reading “buy me a pizza, not a coffee, please”
Wattpad what?
Hi peoples! I’m writing a novel on Wattpad. You can check it out here. It’s currently titled Kree Annihilators, and if “Kree” sounds familiar to you, you might be a Marvel fan. Surprise! I wrote a fanfiction. At least, “fanfiction” in the sense it features Marvel characters like Ms. Marvel and Squirrel Girl and theContinue reading “Wattpad what?”
daily crossroads of detail
ways autistic traits impact my daily life #1 First, a disclaimer. A therapist of mine brought up that I might have autism. However, we never made any attempt to get an official diagnosis. So at this point in time, I consider myself undiagnosed on the autism spectrum. With that in mind, here are a handfulContinue reading “daily crossroads of detail”
First of February
Here I am, post-31 days of posting every day. Hey there world. I’m feeling pretty burnt out. But I thought I’d make this quick little post so I don’t just vanish from existence for however long. I think, when I start posting again (in a few days? A week?), it will be one of twoContinue reading “First of February”
January 31st, 2022/tales in the winter night
Today’s Prompt: How do you feel when you look at the stars? Remember when Aukai told you stories of his people, how they had ancient star charts, how they used the length between thumb and finger to measure the horizon? He said the stars were really distant suns, some of them other colors. You justContinue reading “January 31st, 2022/tales in the winter night”
January 30th, 2022/I’m a pantheon of trees
Today’s Prompt: Describe yourself as a tree. Ooh goodie some nonsense. I love nonsense. Here are 7 aspects of myself imagined as trees. My independent self I am a mangrove tree, I live in salt water estuaries. I have bright leaves, my bark is rough, speckled like eyespots on potatoes. My roots run shallow throughContinue reading “January 30th, 2022/I’m a pantheon of trees”
January 29th, 2022/I got upset with this one
Today’s Prompt: How are you changing the world? After several hours of considering this prompt, I discovered how upset I was with the expectation to change the world. It’s too much for my anxiety to handle. It was tons of pressure on younger-me to do something useful then, in order to become a world-changing forceContinue reading “January 29th, 2022/I got upset with this one”
January 28th, 2022/pirates on the high C’s
Today’s Prompt: What is on your music playlist right now? …uh. That’s it I’m drawing a blank. I don’t engage with music in the form of playlists. I just listen to the songs I feel like listening to at the moment. That’s it I’m drawing a blank, the smell’s quite rank in the sandbank whereContinue reading “January 28th, 2022/pirates on the high C’s”
