it was the emergency,
it was the emergency
because it was our emergency,
but that was before
that was back
when they still pretended to care
about words like we and our
so now you are alone
with your emergency
just like everyone else.

My note to myself:
If my brain won't focus on writing, if my legs won't quiet enough to sit, if I spend all day moving and shaking 'cause I can't be still, the day is not wasted. I'm still a writer.
All my free time doesn't have to be spent writing. I don't need complete control over my brain all the time. My body has needs too.
I'm still a #writer.
‘I cried for a long time’: Black hair stylist’s dream crushed by racist neighbor
"Phoenix stares for a full minute, counting out the seconds, before deciding their imagination must have absorbed all their morning coffee. Nothing stirs in the house. The window curtain hangs still. The snow partially covering the facade, undoubtedly made taller by the wind, is untouched by human or warmth-seeking animal."
From my #WIP #ShortStory involving a (haunted?) house and a potential first-time home buyer. #AmWriting #Writing
Working on a short story today!
First bit:
Weather is too fickle a beast to affect Phoenix's lifelong plans.
Phoenix does not need to wonder whether purchasing a house falls under the category of lifelong plans. Anything involving savings accounts, comparative land value, and hour-long conversations with people who use phrases like "fixed-rate mortgages" casually is more important than thirty-four inches of snow.

We'll see how this goes!
