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.

Round Up: Not Drowning, But Waving
The world has turned and I am still finding a balance. The world has turned. I am finding a balance. The world has turned, and I’m not sure what balance is. It has been a long year since I last updated here, I am notoriously terrible for keeping this up. Things happen in avalanche, and…

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.…

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: All of April, Much of May (Down and Out in Two Sides of London)
This was a post I began in late April, and yet here it is, the middle of May, the world softly spiralling past spring and into summer and I have felt somewhat dragged down, distracted lately, hence nothing truly coming together. It has been an incredibly busy couple of months, and I have been weighed…

Round Up: March (and I'm drifting like an appleblossom)
Hello lovelies, It’s been a while. The year has begun to slip through my fingers and I can barely catch it before it escapes me. Tomorrow is my birthday, and I’m writing this from my roof sunblind and nostalgic and terrified of something I haven’t found a name for yet. Still, I’m looking for a name.…

Round Up: January (the reflection of lace curtains on a bedroom wall)
It is 2019 and it is January and I thought by now that death would stop being my muse but she is still carving a diamond scythe into my words until the blood falls in the shape of a fairytale and what I’m saying is I am learning to talk to death in ways that…
