Well, it's actually that time of year now. ...It's almost Christmas (for me, at least)! And... well, that means I get to give myself a lil' present, right? Which would be taking a one to two week break from blogging. Yeah, yeah, don't get too sappy and sobby on me... it's just for about a week …

Holiday-themed writing prompts that don’t suck!
They blow (snow), actually. So... it's December! And, (for me, at least) there's a cool snowy breeze in the air... cinnamon scents coming from the kitchen... and plastic pine tree needles all over the floors!

My current reads
Okay, so, usually, I don't post stuff like this. Like, what I'm reading or into at the moment. Mostly because (gasp) I don't actually read much at all. But, lately, I've found myself getting more and more involved in poetry. A little bit of writing it, but a lot more of reading it. And, since …

Yet another poetry reading!
Let's keep these posts going! Today, I want to share with you all my (probably favorite) poem titled "Mr. Wilson."

But, anyway, here's my crackly voice reading this poem aloud in a follow-along lyric-esque video like I've been doing; please …
Another poetry reading…
This one... "A Girl and Teddy". I like this one a lot, too. Mostly because of its story-esque format... but also because it's pretty intense. Thrilling even, maybe. Anywho, let's get right on to checking out this sweet lil' poem in all its glory! Here we go... https://youtu.be/nklXL8T_UEk Poem Transcript: Sitting there in the middle …
The second mini poetry reading!
It's time to post and celebrate (I guess?) our next mini poetry reading from Holding onto Stars! This one is called "Battle Scars", and I may or may not have posted it as an old 'poem preview' on here a while ago... but, either way, it's one of my favorites and I wanted to share …
