18 | She/Her | Writer & Poet
Hey y'all. Once upon a time I spent two hours making a pretty bio. Here's the gist. I got one ongoing supernatural-fantasy-romance book, and a horror novella. I have two short story series, so check out my reading lists. And if you haven't taken a good look at my username, I also enjoy writing poetry.
I got two completed poetry books. Ignore the oldest one because that was baby me and baby me had no idea what the hell she was doing.
Middle me was going through crisis, and if you like dark mental breakdowns, go have fun with that (The Book of Fantastical Confusion).
My current poetry? It's focused on life. On what it means to live when you've been dead for quite a long time. Go see Satellite.
At this moment, I like living. I'm not sure if you do. I didn't either, and I've got the mental and physical scars to prove it. Life is difficult. People are difficult. I used to go off and tell people our only purpose in it all is to make others' lives worth living. Just be kind.
But screw that. Be kind to yourself. Be selfish. Be bitchy and just love yourself for it.
Authors I take inspiration from:: Stephen King, Carl Sagan, V.E. Schwab, Neil Gaiman, Sylvia Plath
