PSA Announcement: First book
I did it! I finally swallowed all of my nerves and did it. Did what, you may ask? I delved into the world of self-publishing. So, I have been sitting on my poetry book for two years because there was a lot going through my mind. At first it was just going to be a…

Poetry time

My writing journey

Inspiration
Once in a while I just get hit with inspiration. Today was one of those days. Throughout the many jumbled thoughts in my mind I was a hit with a poetry subject. I wanted to express my thoughts about attraction and express my own experience that I’m dealing with in my own personal life. It’s…

Writing poetry
I started really writing poetry in college. I had a poem that I had written in college that I submitted to my college’s literary magazine and it got published. I didn’t really think too much of it until one of my professor’s really encourage me to continue writing because my poem was deep and also…
