When dreams change but passion never does It’s been a few weeks since I’ve written here. Just when I thought I had a plan to dive into my writing, my life took an unexpected but welcome turn, pushing my focus completely away for a few weeks. As tough as it has been, it’s the best …
Out of Sync
Just a little late night novel break.(Like a snack break, but with emotions instead of Cheez-Its.) Wrote this line and it lowkey wrecked me. River gets under my skin in the best way. It's quiet line, but one that says so much—especially if you get to know River. “River didn’t move. Their heartbeats being the …
Love & Pigeons
You may or may not have noticed how quiet it’s been in the void this week. Not for lack of writing, believe me the words are coming, they’re just all being given to River. But I wrote a scene this week that made me smile and I thought you might like a little glimpse into …
The Destiny of a Chair
Do you hear the soft rain in the distance?It’s quite mostly.Calm & unnerving. It’s not dark, but not blinding either.There’s a single lamp on an end-table in the corner.Beside it—a wooden chair.

When healing feels like suffocation, and hope finds you anyway. Do you know where weakness lies? In the shadow of the depths of your pain.Do you know where strength is found?

An Iridescent Void
A glimpse of my POV — Point of Void I’ve written a lot about the void—the ache, the absence, the silence. I think that most people might imagine such a void as dark and heavy—but the way I visualize it is anything but. It’s colorful. It’s vast. It’s shifting. The ache is there, but it’s …
The Right Piece of the Wrong Puzzle
You’ve heard of the missing puzzle piece—but have you heard of the wrong puzzle piece? It’s not that I’m missing.It’s that I don’t fit in this puzzle at all.The puzzle isn’t complete, but every open slot is slightly too small.I can feel the discomfort of being forced into the wrong space. One edge of me …
Chronic isn't used lightly, Misunderstood is.
My heart behind this abyss. When choosing a name for this website, the phrase Chronically Misunderstood (a token I’ve come to adapt) felt like the perfect fit for the space I am creating. For as long as I can remember I have carried the weight of being misunderstood. It’s been a constant ache of being …

Welcome to the Void
