Is there anybody out there?
I haven’t logged into this account in about 11 months and haven’t posted anything in even longer. So for anyone who’s curious about what I’m getting myself into, here are some updates:
I moved to Washington to serve with AmeriCorps and it was a dope experience! So dope that I applied for a second year and was accepted, so I get a second year with the high school kids I work with and I am thrilled. I’ve been living in Tacoma but I’m moving to Seattle in the next couple of weeks into a house that looks like it could have been in an episode of Breaking Bad (graffiti in the basement, cigarette butts and ash caked into the windowsill, broken EVERYTHING and I’m pretty sure it hasn’t been cleaned in nine years). It just needs some Love and I’m excited to work on it.
My second job is at a room escape game; I lock people in a room and they have an hour to get out using clues and solving puzzles.
I have been writing almost nothing-- lots of journaling, which is fine, but I haven’t cranked out a story or poem in almost a year and that scares me more than anything. I also haven’t shared any writing with anybody in about a year (also scary). BUT I’ve been getting more into zine-making since moving here which is a ton of fun and I encourage all writers and creative types to make at least one zine. All that said, if anyone has any prompts for me, I could use a kick in the ass to making writing a higher priority in my life. Leave a reply on this post or message me and I’ll whip out a piece using your prompt & post it on here! Thanks in advance!
I don’t have much else to add to this, at least that I can think of at the moment. I have no idea whose eyes this post is reaching since I haven’t touched this blog in so long, but it’d be cool to reconnect with some writers or people from college that I haven’t been in touch with.
