ymya diaries: the world in your hands
She’s here! Today is the day! You Make Yourself Another is ready to land, and I don’t know if I will ever stop floating. This last month has been very surreal, some kind early reviews have crossed my path; I got to pen an essay and give not one, not two, but three interviews, and…

ymya diaries: come away o’ human child
When I would play fairy, it wasn’t the light hearted play-acting pop culture associates with the creatures, despite the gossamer wings and purple tulle involved, but the brutal world exploration common to girlhood games, where Barbie beheadings are a societal norm.

YMYA Diaries: The Summer I Watched Nothing But Horror Movies
They aren’t perfect movies, and parts certainly frustrate me, but I can’t say the delirium of fear and brutality and, yes, horror, didn’t consume me. I could feel their influence breathing hotly down my throat as I sharpened lines in the book. I pushed a little harder, indulged some more in the dark.

ymya diaries: you make yourself another
I’ve been struggling for a while to articulate I’ve been feeling lately, how to pin down this fleeting, transmutable emotion that comes with a dramatic shift but here it is; things are in bloom. If you’re new here, and you probably are, welcome! If you want an idea for the feel of this blog, I’d…

In Print: Corvid Queen & Everything Else From The Year That Wasn't
It has been rather a long time since I last checked in. It’s been a hell of a year (or two) and I have not always had the language or the energy to keep up these correspondences. Additionally, I just didn’t publish a lot in that time – which isn’t to say I wasn’t writing.…

body talks: just a quick note to say, I am not quite doing okay
Hello lovelies, I’m sorry I’ve been so distant lately, I’ve not been doing too well. I would have written something sooner but really, there are only so many ways one person can say I am sick again. So, I am sick again. Two hours into Monday morning my boss sent my home from work. I…

Round Up: The Agony and the Ecstasy (+ In Print: Nosebleed Club & Closet Cases)
Hello, my loves. It’s been a while. I can only apologise. There has been a lot going on irl these last few months – my chronic illness worsened, I went on dates, I got some rejections and a fair few acceptance letters, I lost my phone (which is why last month’s tarot poems got scrapped…
