Rayne Alarcio @raynealarcio.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Can people actually *see* things when they imagine them? If I picture my dad's face, I mostly get static, but I still have the memory of what he looks like. Whereas if I try to hear Gerard Way in my head, I get a dollar-store version with the correct cadence. This makes writing interesting… 030

Rayne Alarcio @raynealarcio.bsky.social · 08/08/2025Still thinking about the time in high school when a group of guys made a bet on which of them could “get with me” for a fake relationship… and now the poem I wrote about it is getting published in Cimarron Review.

Rayne Alarcio @raynealarcio.bsky.social · 23/02/2025Where are my former teen writers at? How is your relationship to writing now versus back then? #teenwritingindustrialcomplex 010
Rayne Alarcio @raynealarcio.bsky.social · 23/02/2025I love turning my lowercase T trauma into art ✌️ #poetsofbluesky 020
Rayne Alarcio @raynealarcio.bsky.social · 22/02/2025#writersky How do you make your prose more poetic? I also write poetry but find it harder to incorporate assonance, consonance, alliteration, and rhythm into my work. Imagery and figurative language is easier, but still tough. 010
Rayne Alarcio @raynealarcio.bsky.social · 16/02/2025Fried eggs and ramen 😋 A little burnt, maybe, but delicious anyway! #dinnertime #ramenlover #friedeggs 010
Rayne Alarcio @raynealarcio.bsky.social · 15/02/2025Establishing a daily writing practice was a game changer. Writers block is at an all time low and my ability to write for sustained amounts of time is at an all time high. Even if it’s just 10 - 20 minutes or approx a page of writing a day, it adds up! #writer #writerscommunity 010
