licks u. okay but. imma be honest with you, i admire you so much. as a writer, the word that i always want to apply to you is Gritty. and what i mean by that is you take everything so far beyond the usual tropes, so far beyond the normal notions and elevate it in ways i’m not sure other people know how to do. you write the dirty beauty, the leather- biker satans and the honey laced wounds. you can take something classic and make it new, real, and … well, gritty. you never, ever bore me. you make even the Nastiest™️ concepts read like scripture, and i don’t think that’s something that can be taught. it brings me back to the things that i loved most about all my favorite authors, the vibrant imagery i can never forget, the fragments of lines that i catch floating through my brain even months after the fact. there are snippets of your writing that i literally catch myself thinking about randomly from time to time, right there alongside the memories of cat valente, mary shelley, stephen king and edgar allan poe. you are no small talent. what you do is pure poetry, and it never gets old. you should always be proud of that, because that can’t be taken from you. and it can’t be imitated.
