Poetry Corner | Poem #13: I Was Ice

An oldie but a goodie. In my eyes anyway.

Poetry Corner | Poem #12

And sometimes I wish that I could unbelieve the person, or the people, that I create. And sometimes I think that I should just be grateful for an imagination so resourceful.  To be honest I don’t think this even counts as a poem but, hey, they’re words and I like them.

Poetry Corner | Poem #11

I’m midway through what feels like the millionth edit of my book, and this is particularly relevant at the moment. It’s still strange to me that a world can exist so vividly and entirely within my head, and now on the paper I’m reading, and that the people from this world feel like real and […]

Review: We Were Liars, E Lockhart

You know when you read a book and it starts off kind of slow, kind of dull, and then suddenly that’s it: you’re hooked, and there’s nothing you can do but think about it, wonder when you will be able to read it again, stay up all night practically inhaling the story because your precious […]
