Give or take, I’ve given myself eight months to my publishing goal. The Fray has reached double my estimated target audience, since the release of its preview on 10/2/24. I do not have a set goal for an audience, just that I am incredibly excited for my book, the art and everything else in between….

Putting Out Little Fires
This has been mentioned in previous prompt answers, and it still stands. Typically, I am open and loving, so I feel both parties should express themselves. I never thought anyone would take advantage of that – using that time to insult and attempt to mentally degrade the other person, but it happens. When there isn’t…
Perceptions of the Clouded Mind
The world through my teenage eyes appeared as carnage, disguised as teaching. I had an art teacher in high school who was an absolute terror. I, of course, signed up for art class because I am an artist. I had no direction, just pure, untamed talent. To illustrate what the eyes can see is one…

Imagine watching your world build up around you, while experiencing the sinking of others who did their best to make you feel less. I am living proof of doing your best, and seeing the results. It doesn’t have anything to do with money, fame or accomplishments. It’s more connected to the sigh of relief I…
Remaining Silent
What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind? Oftentimes, we consider “clapping back” as a way to defend verbal attacks. I used to feel that way until I got a little older. When someone is ignorant enough to come at you, for absolutely no reason at all…other than to get a rise…
Not Among Them
Tell us about a time when you felt out of place. In 2017, I did the unthinkable, and defended myself against my ex. He had become physically abusive, so I shot him in the neck. He survived, fortunately, my father taught me how to fight and handle a gun. However, going through the criminal justice…

New moons, believe it or not, are for uncovering truths, hidden talents and having long term goals obtained. It’s starting over, clearing space, understanding what you just went through…to grow…
Morning Respite
I woke to the empty echoes of my apartment. The portal in which I gained entry and my sibling were gone for the morning. Hearing good morning from someone who plays games is similar to stumbling outside in frigid temps, right as you wake. That was a relief. I choose to say “hi.” Less verbiage….
The Ick
Not one to be filled with bitter resentment, but I am finding it harder and harder to be kind to a certain family member. I express my frustrations of the day to my boyfriend, who I adore greatly. He listens and never judges me. Sometimes, I am triggered. To believe that ascension fixes your problems…
Truly, Ignoring
What could you do more of? One of the things I want to practice is ignoring someone when they’ve said something unnecessary. While I take steps to send their energy back, and ignore them afterwards, I’d like to not acknowledge it in the first place. This occurrence happened recently and I will admit I am…
