Thanks! 
I felt poetic today, so I seized the moment 
It could get inventive, but it will always lack the heart behind it and just feel empty

Dang. Writing is hard. Proud to say I have at least made an attempt every day so far this week. So Practice? I guess. Still not getting anything useable. But practice is practice?

Idk… is the world ready for something like this 
The clamp around his lungs,
does not release and he can barely,
just barely breathe.
It’s hard for him,
to
breathe,
to,
breathe.
hidden, because trigger warning, dysmorphia
It’s a poem about a young man who is struggling because of body dysmorphia, and about the mother watching this unfold and scolding him because she doesn’t know how else to stop him, and then being unable to stop him before he…
And the poem is titled “Failed”
Idk what possesses me to write these types of poems, but I tend to write about the darkest of dark sides of life here and there.

A few updates since I last posted.
Rant: Just because names may not matter much in your culture doesn’t mean that they have the same level of insignificance in others. For context, this was when I was helping someone with an Indonesian character because he wanted help with accurate representation. The topic of names came up and, as an Indonesian myself, I researched the names he used to see if they matched the background in mind for the character. You can tell a lot about the person’s background from their name.
Then of course some people started talking about how people can have mixed names so you shouldn’t think too much about it 
yeah we’re talking about post-colonial, pre-independence Indonesia here, and a character intended to come from a somewhat devout Muslim background from a certain part of the country. Yet the surname belongs to a predominantly Protestant ethnic group. You can’t just mix and match willy nilly unless you’re prepared to explain how exactly that came to be, because the people in the audience who know will notice.
Not ranting about the author, he was nice and I really appreciate his dedication to accurate representation. Just ranting about outsiders’ unneeded and unsolicited opinions, especially when they say that to the person from the actual culture.
My, oh my. The irony.
Share: My roommate and I occasionally call each other when she drives home from work. I read the three latest chapters of Blood Will Tell to her out loud. She enjoyed them! And she liked the direction the story was going in.
The best part was when we reached the end of the third chapter. I won’t spoil what it was, but before I could finish, she screamed: “I F-CKING KNEW IT.”
I was laughing so much I struggled to read the rest of the chapter out, and in the background she was muttering about how she called it.
Can’t wait for her to react to the future chapters too! After I finish writing and posting them, of course.
Oh, and as weird as it sounds, I also got some writing inspiration and motivation from the recent movie, K-Pop Demon Hunters. My roommate watched it too and we both really liked it!
Progress: I got a few words in, but not much. I’m still a bit lost on exact scenes I want to put down. It will reveal itself soon.

I think I finally have a poetry collection.
Here’s a snippet of the poem, Hush Hush, that is also the collection title
I lay myself vulnerable and bear,
only to you, my truths I share.
But then your mouth goes off talking
and then world starts its mocking.
And now I must stitch your lips
closed forever with surgical thread.
Do you regret it, yet?
All you’ve said?
Hush, hush, do not speak.
Your late apologies, with lies they reek.

Not a rant or progress report, but I thought this vid was really motivating, especially for those who feel their first draft(s) aren’t great (good thing they aren’t meant to be!)
