Blogging and routine

So it is Sunday. For me, that means it is the day to Schedule the posts for the week for my blog and for the Fae Corps blog. The problem is that I hate the premade cookie-cutter look that I have adopted for convenience’s sake. So I schedule (Most weeks) and then I randomly post extra because it crosses my mind. Then I feel guilty because I don’t keep up every week with the planned posts and know I should save the extra stuff for the weeks that I am outta spoons. This is also why I don’t do a Newsletter for my stuff. I am blessed to have a wonderful intern who does the Fae corps Newsletter. I would have no idea what content to throw in one. My poor Patreon suffers for the same reason. I have issues seeing why anyone would want to see the random poetry I share. Not because I don’t believe it is good…but because I feel like that is why someone buys the books. The random stuff is my way of drawing people into seeing what I am capable of. So I end up feeling like I should do something different…and well I don’t have the looks for OnlyFans. I like to share the stuff I do on the blog. It feels like I am able to be myself…to some extent. Not that I really filter myself anywhere…I am a terrible liar because I will forget what I said…and then I am caught. So I just share what feels right for me. On Facebook that tends to be inspirational memes, poetry that catches my eye, and the randomness that is Facebook, On Twitter…well it used to be random thoughts but I really have not been on Twitter in a while. I tend to cycle social media to what I am focused on during a given period. Instagram…has never been a favorite of mine. I try but I don’t like the way it works. Tiktok is mostly me reading my poems…with the random weird girl thoughts. And believe me when I say I am a weird girl..or mostly. Some days it is the weird dude. Just another one of the guys. And it works for me. No, I am not asking for your approval – I am who I am. No matter the platform. Tumblr sees more of my brooding poet and artsy side. There is no platform that fits me exactly.

That is because I don’t fit me exactly.
I am goth,
I am a broody poet,
I am a nerd,
I am a geek,
I am mom,
I am an artist.
I am a gamer,
I am a stoner,
I am a writer.
I am a storyteller,
I am a fat chick,
I am an introvert.
I am opinionated,
I am nonbinary,
I am pansexual,
I am a survivor
I am a warrior
I am a pacifist
I am a woman
I am genderfluid.
I am intellegent
I am uneducated.
I am chronically ill
I am a serial procrastinator.

I am sure that there are other labels. As you can see several of the labels seem to be contradictory. That does not mean that all are not true. And I am evolving. I am growing. As are you. Everyone grows daily. it is how we are. Human nature if you will. We all have stories…just not all of us make a habit of telling everyone what life has done to us. It is an oddity of mine. My family rolls their eyes because they have heard my stories a million times. The fun thing about the internet is there is always someone who has not heard about my cat when I was a kid…Or the random Dungeon and Dragon’s story that made me laugh. Those stories that are what makes my poetry what it is. That makes me who I am.

I don’t want to do my blog today – hence what this wordy collection of thought vomit is about. I am not wanting to find poetry to put on images or choose a song to talk about. I would rather get lost in reading my webcomics than choose one to recommend. So I am not gonna. I am going to try to do some tomorrow but today I am just not gonna. I could make some excuse…I just am not willing to do that. I might instead tell some of my stories from high school that are fun and mindless. Depends on how I am feeling tomorrow. If the blog is still feeling like a chore instead of the fun I believe it should be then this week will be filler

politics, and sleep deprivation demons

Poetry woke me. it is not the first time, likely will not be the last. I have been working on two different projects as my poetry goes…I have been finding that I am writing a lot of political poetry…where I had not been before. I guess as I have aged my heart is just not in swallowing the rage I have been feeling for the way the world around me is. I don’t like saying nothing when I see a wrong being done. I have fought for my voice, so I guess I will have to use it. well not all of the poetry I have been writing is appropriate for this volume.

so I am writing two. I think the first one is either going to be smaller than my usual or take longer, I am not sure. it currently has twelve poems compared to the twenty nine in Handprints. Gathering Teardrops will be released in May and I am not sure if either of these will be available this year. I have a bit of a full schedule for publishing this year.

I will announce when each are done writing. I have another poem that is bouncing around my head wanting to be written, so I am writing instead of sleeping….sigh

oh…btw…I have an interview on Facebook on Friday…will post the link as soon as I get it.

on Politics

Dammit I wanted Bernie, 

not another closed mind, 

instead I was wanting someone 

who made me hope for mankind. 

Socialism should not be a fear, 

where kindness is a weapon 

against the masses 

and old men don’t have us 

tied up in the idea that we cannot be 

helping each other with no strings. 

why don’t we have social programs 

where people are not afraid 

of the violence that seems ingrained?

why is learning regulated,

where only the rich can afford it?

symptoms of the disease, 

classism, racism,  and greed!

Yeah,  those things cost money, 

but isn’t that what taxes are for?

the political system regulates 

bodies that they know nothing about, 

the average person is mired

in depression,  debt, and doubts. 

Too many balls in the air

Trying to get books ready for publication, writing more, and recovering from a really nasty infection…means the blog caught neglect. So here is a poem written today titled The White Whale…

Artsy Fartsy Thursday

Artsy Fartsy Let’s Discuss art

I was trying for a sandstorm on a beach at sunset…I swear it looked better in my brain. lol I have found that drawing on a digital medium is more fun, but I am better with pencil and paper. I have more control with a pencil than I do with digital. What medium do you do best with?

Webcomics Wednesday

Webcomic discussion

Awkward Zombie is Cute and geeky. It updates about once a week. There are multiple topics and it seems to run the gambit of the awkward geek.

Tuesday Tunes

A day for me to discuss music

Lyrics:

Well I’m an axegrinder piledriver
Mother says that I never never mind her
Got no brains I’m insane
Teacher says that I’m one big pain
I’m like a laser 6-streamin’ razor
I got a mouth like an alligator
I want it louder
More power
I’m gonna rock ya till it strikes the hour

Bang your head! metal health’ll drive you mad
Band your head! metal health’ll drive you mad

Well I’m frustrated
Outdated I really want to be over-rated
I’m a finder and I’m a keeper
I’m not a loser and I ain’t no weeper
I got the boys to make the noise
Won’t ever let up
Hope it annoys you
Join the pack
Fill the crack
Well now you’re here
There’s no way back

My Two Cents- Today is a bad communication day for me. I was trying to figure out a good song for the post. I told Joe that I felt like I needed to bang my head against the desk because of how hard it was to communicate. He said that I had my song…yeah I guess I did. So join me in Banging my head with happy instead of frustration,
