One of, if not THE greatest, struggles in my life is the fact that I am a menstruating person. So I did what I knew how to and I wrote about it.

But outside of that, I do wanna share some awareness on some of the shit that people experience simply as a result of having a body that menstruates.

Lots of fun stuff to look forward to.

So welcome to May.

Artemis placed Orion in the stars after he died. Her best friend died and she gave him a constellation. Now an astronaut on Her mission, in orion's spacecraft, gave his wife a place on the moon. We look up at the sky and we can still see the ones we've lost. The stars are, and have always been, a memorial.

This is the kind of thesaurus stuff I've needed.

Suddenly I don't want anyone to know me as deeply anymore, which is weird because I have always yearned for someone to understand my soul

Once again recommending that writers, especially newer writers, start ‘rubber ducking’

When you’re stumped and you don’t know what’s not working for your writing, or you don’t know where to go next, take out a rubber duck (or any equivalent friend/inanimate object, I like to use my dogs) and start explaining every single detail as if the rubber duck knows nothing about writing or about your story. Explain out loud what’s going on, what part you’re up to, why you’re stumped, and what you know you need to get to when you figure out how to get there

Somewhere along the line of putting it into words and externalising the thought process, it’s likely something will slot into place

You confused my heart for muck in the mire,

You liked your hands clean.

I accepted your abandonment as something I deserved,

I confused my heart for muck in the mire.

Hold the line

Last week I represented my family at the funeral of a family friend. I travelled, on a plane, just to be there; Just to stand amongst all the other people who may not have had the right words. Just to be one of the people who gave an extra tight hug, because in that moment, love was all I had to give. Just for the family members to see my face and to even, if for a moment, consider the cost that…

Happy Moody Monday!

Yesterday the world celebrated International Women's Day and I wanted my writing this week to be in line with that, so my musical inspiration is DeepEnd by Holly Humberstone.

It's a song that speaks to sisterhood, sacrifice and bonds that matter.

I'm looking forward to what thoughts and ideas this song sparks this week.
