My latest chapbook Resolved is here, and I am incredibly proud of it! This year, I am trying to focus less on my body and more on my soul. I am trying my best to get some of the hearts in my heart resolved, and to help the people around me grow. This book contains of 12 poetic resolutions, one for each month, and I think you will love them. 

If you visit my Ko-fi, here, you can read Resolved, and you will also get a copy of Forest Heart as a thank you for your support! If you already read Forest Heart, just message me and I’ll send you a copy of one you missed. 

If you visit my Patreon, here,  you’ll be able to sign up to receive all of my monthly chapbooks, get exclusive future videos, and join my Writer’s Workshop! We already have one lovely writer, and I think that, combined, we’ll all learn a lot from each other. 

I hope that you have an amazing 2019, and that you love Resolved!

take me back to the forest
and make me mythic,
intangible, unfathomable.
i want to become
less like a human 

and more like the
the glow that lingers
on the back of your eyelids
after you stare at the sun
through the trees 
for too long. 

i want to become 
the echo of the wind’s
whisper and the bird’s song,
the shadow of a fish
swimming through the stream. 

i don’t know if i want
to be or grow or glow
or vanish,
all i know is i want
to be there
when it happens.

I hope today gives you the strength to grab ahold of the good things as they come your way! You deserve good things!

[The Write Life]

My pen is as uncertain
as I am–it leaves
no words in its wake,
just scars and shadows
on the page.

We’re all trying
to save each other
from everything

with everything 
we have.

Hi, everyone! I just want to take a minute to hype up my Writer’s Workshop a little bit more! 

Writer’s Workshop was one of the best things about the creative writing classes I have taken. It’s a chance to give and receive critique, to learn how to take your vision and make it clear to your readers. I have missed it ever since I graduated, and it’s something I’m trying to recreate on my Patreon! For just $1 a month, you can participate in the weekly workshop I’m running. I really hope you’ll join!

i don’t have a heart 
of gold, i have a heart
of silver:

worth a bit less,
but easier to make
something of,

moonlit,
if a little tarnished,
still moonlit,

the terror of monsters
and the love of
magpies,

glitter and bane,
mirror and magic…
it’s something.

Hi everyone! I don’t know if you know this, but I have a Redbubble where I create stuff based on my chapbook covers and poems. I’m also happy to make custom stickers or other things custom if there’s a poem or morning wish you’d like to see on a sticker!

Today, I also have a referral deal that will give you $10 off on a Redbubble order of $40 or more. You don’t have to spend it on my shop to help me out–I’ll get a few bucks if it goes through my referral link. If you message me your email, I’ll send out the link at midnight tonight! (I won’t send you anything using it, no worries!) This is a great way to get something you’ll love and help us both out.

If you do want to check out my shop, here’s the link!
