As you probably know, I've been challenging myself to write at least one poem a month in 2025. I've noticed some months take me longer and longer to find the inspiration for the poems or to get in the right mindset for a poem. Poetry prompts have really helped! So, today, being that it's the... Continue Reading →
Before I start, a disclaimer (aka excuses): June is ALWAYS less productive for me than usual. I am choosing to blame the teenager being home from school and the HEAT for these problems.

I thought it would be fun today to dig into a little history on this amazing story. WHERE IT STARTED Darkest Fears began WAY back in... Continue Reading →
You might remember that I challenged myself to get back into writing more poetry in 2025 by writing one poem per month. You also may remember that I started to worry I was going to drop the ball in MARCH by waiting until the 19th to write my poem. Anyone looking at the calendar right... Continue Reading →
Well hi again! It’s officially the end of the FIRST QUARTER of 2025. Which is … wild, right? I’m not entirely sure how that happened, honestly. It feels like just yesterday we were talking about SETTING goals for the year and now we’re wrapping up the first quarter. Weird how that happens. Anyway, the end... Continue Reading →
Whew, was anyone else starting to get worried that I would drop the ball on this poetry challenge so early into the year? No, just me? Alright, fair. You all have more faith in me than I do, apparently. You'll remember I've challenged myself to get back into writing more poetry in 2025. I kept... Continue Reading →
