Fiction Friday: Seventeen Summers

Photo by Abbie Bradford It was the summer of sunsets. The summer of joy and love, and most of all, new life. And that very July, that hot summer of 1999, Elizabeth was born. A sun kissed baby they said, like God had shed his golden-sun tears on her. Newborn: Nobody remembers what their life is like as a baby. I do imagine though. My mother watching my hair grow in, in her lounge chair at the lake. She would caress my face, and she remembers when I first smiled at her, earl

This month’s theme is a ‘Grunge Princess’ inspired theme, when I think of this the first thing that comes to mind is Pity Party by Melanie Martinez which is pretty much an epic birthday tea party, but with no guests.

Fiction Friday: Daffodil Girls

I remember the icy chill of a pale pink glass against my warm brown skin. The sweltering heat of a Southern Arizona summer. “Dasia.” My name from her lips was more of a question than a title. Nonetheless, I turned around to face her. She was still, standing in the open doorway. Cool air leaked through and I could almost hear the hum of an air conditioner, the bustle of women gathered around to discuss horror novels and honey scented candles. “Yeah?” I asked, instinctively

A Writer’s Worst Fear

Art By Larissa Mara @jacksbrokenheartt_ Writing is about understanding. Doubts are inevitable, but whether you let them break you or make you, is completely up to you. Ultimately you are the one with the pen and paper. You write your own story — even if you have to rewrite it fifty times.

Dear Diary: Thoughts from July

Photo by Michelle Ledesma We are the definition of dazed and confused, lost but never really found, young but old at the same time. As the July heat poured its remnants on me, I drank my wine out of a not-so-sophisticated, ubiquitous red party cup and tried to continue on with my reading. After I finished my reading about a woman's worth (thankfully and actually written by a woman) on an outdated paper from The New York Times, I looked above and stared at the sky. I had quest
