I'm tired of my social media being like 80% ads now. Or someone trying to drop ship a shitty product. I'll see ten reels an hour of someone saying "shark tank offered us $$$ for our design but we declined because we know what it's really worth" like can we not? I want to see cute cats not ads #Rant

Just got my poetry rejected from a magazine. That's okay. I'll keep improving this poem until I find an audience for it. Not giving up! #Writers #FYP

I want to try writing more short stories in the new year. I'm not one to make resolutions for the New Year but this goal does align with the New Year. What are some ways I can consistently write a new short story a month?

Had car trouble the other day. Does this mean the universe might be nice and make me a published author? Please? I need this.

I had two of three poems I submitted to a magazine rejected. I submitted them all at the same time. I would definitely be clowning that my third poem will be accepted. I'm trying so hard to get my work published!
