Ready or Not: We’re Activated!
A shared space for stories, reflection, and connection. This blog is for creatives, experiencers, and fellow high beams. Welcome!
If you’re here, I trust that we share a vibe. Or, at the very least, you think we might. That works.
Welcome! I envision good things happening here: remembering, transmitting, becoming. Writing about layers that I think you might find interesting. Creating a shared space that I hope attracts a tribe of creatives and experiencers connected by shared states of heart, mind, and timbre, that allow for our differences but exist in harmony with one another.
I conceived of “minis.“ as a way for me to showcase my writing; to try and get some attention and keep people occupied while I finish my next novel. I knew it would be a collection consisting of a few things: works I’d already written; works that existed as beginnings of ideas or concepts that I’d need to develop; verse I’d written that captures the essence of who I’ve been at different stages in my life; and new works, started from scratch, that I wasn’t even sure I’d be capable of writing until I wrote them. What emerged was a queer narrative, my queer narrative, told in fragments that circled back upon one another, with jagged edges that refused to be contained. What I experienced was an unexpected life review that ultimately provided me with clarity, healing, and closure.
I have a big heart, a friendly demeanor, an endless supply of curiosity, and a burning desire to create, through my writing, safe spaces that are also wild, dangerous, and exciting. But I’m putting the eggplant emoji before the horse…or something like that. I’m not one for absolutes, but my stories are, for the most part, character driven. The worlds gain color, depth, and sentience as their stories unfold, but the characters are almost always the first to arrive. Funny, then, that I’m building this site before the characters are here to inhabit it. It just goes to show ya: nothing always happens. Most of the time is the best anything can ever hope for.
Yes, I am a blog ho! I’m putting it all out there for everyone to see. No shame or regret. In fact, I kinda get off on it. The more the merrier, as I may have quipped on a few occasions, back in the day, when the door was open, the line was long, and the lube was superabundant.
As I write this, I’m feeling you read what I write. It’s an amazing feeling. Intimate. Exciting. Almost inappropriate, but not quite. I love it, though! And I’m glad you’re here.
What you can expect in this space:
- Stories, and the stories that live inside, underneath and around them.
- Reflections on queer memory, survival, grit, and…all of it, tbh.
- Prompts, transmissions, invitations to engage.
- Reasons to keep moving forward.
What you won’t find here:
- Platitudes.
- Apologies.
- Redemption arcs with good posture.
This is the dawning of the age of my third homosexual act. Stick around. You might learn something.
