check in on your mates. ask how your coworker is after a tough day. get over your ego and reconnect. tell the people you love that you love them. message an old friend that’s been on your mind. let people know you’re thinking about them. learn how to have the conversation #RUOK

made some new poetry frames. this one is for my poem ‘depth of your blue’. I took this photo on film in my favourite century in Melbourne. I think this one is my favourite ✨

@thealienbuddha thinking of you Red. I hope everything will be okay

I am going through a rough patch in my personal life right now. I'll try not to let it effect my work with ABP. Maybe it will lead to me putting more effort into the press, and expanding in new ways. Either way, I love working as EIC here, and will continue to do my best.

@APThayer @thedreadmachine 👏👏

starting a new project combining the concept from my window installation at Chateau Orquevaux and my poetry posts by bringing them into the physical realm. the photographs are ones I’ve taken printed on paper inside secondhand photo frames, and posca pens for the poetry

my copy of Dark Horses Magazine with my cannibal story arrived today ✨ and it’s such a wild feeling to hold something like this in my hands. I always thought of myself as just a poet but to have a short fiction story that means so much to me published is something else

some love for ‘exposure to existence’ and I am so grateful ♥️ @thealienbuddha

my story ‘Just A Little Taste’ is out in the May issue of Dark Horses Magazine and I’m so so thrilled - and my name is on the front cover 😩 I love this story. It’s my first published longer fiction piece and it’s about relationships and consuming parts of people - literally.

todays poem for #napowrimo turned into song lyrics that I might put to chords one day. I’m trying so hard to get this memory and this feeling out of my body. I’ll keep writing until the pain runs out

@BethanyJarmul 100% yes! I try to write my dreams down every morning because there’s always a story in there. it feeds my imagination. literally my favourite thing about sleeping is dreaming!

My husband thinks that part of the reason I have vivid dreams is because I’m a writer. So now I want to know—writers, do you have vivid dreams? Do you remember your dreams?

@Jennychu2 It is!

@slcurran Isn't that the best kind of story?

so thrilled about an acceptance for a weird short story about a cannibal that I wrote while at my residency. it’s one of those stories that you read back and realise you’re actually trying to figure out a deeper question you have about your own life. I love this story.

my copy came! ✨ @missivemag such a beautiful issue 💌 #WritingCommmunity

five days late stating #NaPoWriMo but I’m determined to write a poem a day #writingcommunity
