@eternal_solace lol hopefulllllyyyy 

@ashbytheisle I'm so sorry to hear that, hopefully you had a good break?

@eternal_solace two words: writers block (or social media block!!) 

@ashbytheisle good to hear <3

@eternal_solace yes, thank God!

@ashbytheisle bless, did it get any better?

@eternal_solace byee we have a math and science teacher shortage here too. also ooooh scotlandd thats so fascinating! do you prefer india scotland or england!! i didnt know abt Hogsmanay either so ty for thatt

@ashbytheisle nope because we have a severe national shortage of compsci and physics teachers because they can almost certainly get a better job with their degree, so the gov just hires whoever now (rip my grades) cuz they're desperate. Yep, lived in Scotland for like 3 years lol, the best time of my life tbh. Hogsmanay is a celebration of the New Year, you just stay up and do a very Christmas like party with lots of people, and dancing, and beer (lol).

@eternal_solace ???? Don't you at least need some certifications or smth that would prove your proficient with comp sci to teach it? Alsoooo what's Hogsmanayyyy and you lived in Scotland before????

@ashbytheisle frr, but it's only two years so I'll survive lol

@eternal_solace thank youuu also im so sorry abt the teachers they can really make or break a learning experience 

@ashbytheisle that's fair, but please remember to take breaks and care for yourself - constantly running on autopilot isn't good for you. Invest in a hobby or talk to someone, but make sure to feel refreshed <33. I've been alright, my teachers are kinda crap though, so I have to pull thru each lesson lol.

@ashbytheisle We gotta lock in lmao

@eternal_solace same i keep zoning out in my law class i have to stopp

@ashbytheisle nahh ur good lol. also frr getting back into the flow of school is so hectic now. i'm alr lol, rip my brain though because I keep zoning out in class (sob)

@eternal_solace YESS

@ashbytheisle REAL i've been slacking lol we gotta push thru

@eternal_solace discipline needs to be my middle name ASAP 

@ashbytheisle Awesome! I hope you enjoy!

@novelistASH Wow! You're such a diverse writer, I love it. Thanks for the breakdown, I'd love to try Lovelife of a Deathdealer I think! Legal jargon with fantastical elements sounds fascinating! 

@ashbytheisle I'd love to get your opinion on my work.

            If you're looking for some poetry I have a variety of works I've been putting out. I'd love to get more eyes on my ongoing series "Road to Malthena" which is an over-the-top retelling of my first love.

            If you're not interested in old style poems, I do some modern slam poetry and experimental work as well. They're not really organized, so you kind of have to look around to see what works for you.
            
            I'd definitely recommend "without scabs" which is about being gaslit.

            "fences" discusses poverty and inequity through a driving melody that shifts with my emotions.

            I also write about my personal horror like in "The Company I Keep" which uses metaphor to create some distance.

            If you're not super particular, try starting out from the beginning and working your way through my collection for this year.
