  • The gloves are coming off

    Writing with gloves on is a one-finger-at-a-time kind of affair. But it can’t be helped for now, my fingers are just that cold. I’ve looked into fingerless gloves for writers but they’re a bit expensive for me right now, and… Continue reading

  • I dont know what to write about

    I dont know what to write about, So here’s a poem, But I think I’ve done this before, But my memories do roam, So maybe I have not? But I don’t think that’s quite right, Because I often sit down,… Continue reading
