And here's another poem for y'all! School's wrapping up and then we'll get back to the irregularly scheduled introspective blog posts and maybe a post about a new novel idea?

when the split second of waking stretches on
I've been writing a lot of poetry lately - it's faster than novels and due to school, if I want to write anything, it needs to be fast. Here's one that's a little more descriptive than my usual poetry - I was trying to describe a very specific moment instead of talking about an idea. [...]

Three Little Words
No, these three little words are not "I love you", though that is important to say and to hear - I just wanted to get your attention. When we look at New Years, and as we sit in the beginning of January, looking out into the horizon that makes up next year, we make all [...]
Walk if You Can’t Jump.
I don't like jumping out of my comfort zone. I love staying within my nice office, holed up with a comfy sweater and my mom's old jeans (thanks mom!) with some decaf coffee and no makeup. I don't really like working out - it's hard and sweaty and I feel like people are looking at [...]
