Exciting Days

I'm not one of those people who hides my writing. I don't know what shame gland is missing from my insides, but I am the kind of person who gets giddy about other people reading the things I wrote. All this is to say, my poem is up on The Camel Saloon! YAY!

It's just crazy because it's like, there's someone else who liked something I wrote enough to put it on their website thing. Isn't that crazy?

Anyway, dear invisible readers, if you want to read it, click here.

The poem is "Cliches Get Stuck Under Your Fingernails." It's my "Clod and the Pebble" homage. See, I once wrote this entire paper about "The Clod and The Pebble"? And I still can't remember where the 'the's go? Anyway, it's a poem I really like, so my poem is sort of like my own version of the idea, quoting No Exit instead of Paradise Lost.

Yeah, I just made it sound like I wrote the poem all deliberately, but that's a total lie. The first draft was just brain dump, but after that I was all, oh, this poem could be this, and then I layered it a little. SEE HOW COMPLEX I AM?

I should probably stop talking about my own poem before I come across as a crazy egomaniac.

So... other things. I'm reading Fall For Anything and it's completely BLOWING MY MIND. Courtney Summers is rapidly becoming one of my favorite authors ever.
