I'm a poet. I'm published in various forms of media and currently working on my first novel.

This blog will display my work as it is written, before being submitted for publication, as well as expressing my thoughts and feelings on the dull.

nineteentwentyeight asked: This is completely unoriginal, but I truly admire and appreciate your honesty and beautiful words. Your poetry is raw and often controversial but that is what makes it so powerful. Thank you for sharing your words.

Thank you ever so much! unOriginality is fine when it comes trussing up compliments :) I really appreciate it. Especially recently, I’ve had a drought of acceptances to magazines and anthologies after a good few months of everything being accepted. Maybe I’m writing worst or something… so hearing this is very nice.

As you can tell from my writing, I appreciate your poetry yet it’s not my cup of tea. However, your prose!! You should really start writing longer pieces…. and send them all to me rather than putting them on tumblr :) Also, I wouldn’t have usually posted this (I don’t post compliments), but as you write too and I like what you do, publishing this should hopefully get you a few more people reading your work.
