After five days of being sick I’m finally starting to feel a little better! I haven’t been able to work on anything because of it. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll have a little energy to get some writing done. I’ve been rewatching a lot of Marvel movies while sneezing nonstop.

I love self-publishing and being indie. All I want to do is write my silly poetry and if it resonates with others then that's a bonus. 💚

AI can’t improve your writing. Only you can improve your writing. Through practice and experience you will improve the more you write. AI can only make you sound like everybody else, as it takes away your unique voice. I would rather my work be perceived as bad. At least I wrote it. #humanauthor

Hello poets! This year we are going to do things differently than we did in 2025. Last year we were publishing poems weekly in a blog format. Each month was considered an issue or micro issue. We then shut down the blog site and shifted issues to a downloadable digital format. 1/3
