I've been writing up a storm on my fifth poetry manuscript . . .
I've been working on a poetry memoir, and I decided to add some poems. Working on it feels good, but I'm tired of looking at it. I'm not sure if these are good changes or not, so it's off to my trusted beta reader (again).

I've been working on my first full-length, solo poetry book. I'm up to 48 pages, and I think it's all solid

My first book read in 2025 was a worthy choice: These Fragile Graces, This Fugitive Heart by @izzyxen.bsky.social. There’s mystery, action, an anarchist commune in a dystopian future, evil corporations, a great trans MC with a terrible parent, all in the space of a novella. #BookSky

This is a story about the stakes of elections & what happens when a community & a state doesn't defeat fascism.
It's a gift link, so read it - because some might not be allowed to.

The librarian who couldn’t take it anymore
She loved books. And in a time of spreading book bans in public schools, that’s why this Florida librarian had to quit.

• NO ONE receiving $1,000/mo still sleeping outside
• Full-time employment increased
• Fewer visits to the ER

With #NaNoWriMo coming up, I sometimes wonder what kind of advice @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com would quietly give me. I feel like it would go somewhere along the lines of "Just write, but make sure you enjoy the ride". Or something?
