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…

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…
