I probably am not, but I thought I'd give y'all hope. No, here's a short letter. I have no excuses. At all. Sure, I'm in college, I just finished my finals, I break my back booking shows and pushing carts

[This is in the public domain] The blue light from the window above my bed cast a sea-sick glow on my sister’s face. Her face. Drawn tight with age, or was it weariness, like she’d been holding a lemon-slice

Because screw permissions. I found a post that @negativer did. Basically, Steem is in the running to be listed for free on Netcoins, which will greatly increase it's value, but it's on a vote-based system.

First off, mega-congratulations to the lovely @jayna who a) Hosts this competition and b) Won a trip to Poland for the 3rd(?) Steemfest! Woot! This is based off of her prompt "If." There are

Heyyo! So, I've never tried submitting art/photography for the Writer's Block Art Prompt Contest, but heck, I thought I'd try it! I honestly don't know why I haven't done it before. Anyways, these are

I don't have a very complex history with Noname. I heard her verse on Chance the Rapper's Coloring Book (like I'm sure a lot of people did) and decided to see if she had work and, until a few days ago,

Aretha Franklin's funeral, lolz So, I haven't been on Steemit in about two months. I apologize mostly to those who liked seeing my comments on things and looked forward to my little $0.02 upvotes. I got

Hey guys! I know, I've been radio silent, and they are so many other things I could (and probably should) tell you guys about, but instead, I wanted to let y'all know about this new collaboration I did

This is where I got it. Deal with it. I got a job pushing carts for Walmart recently and, yeah, I know, a punk rocker working at Walmart is like finding a tic on a banker's neck, but listen, the pay is

You had me run, seven years to Leah, seven years back. You pursed your lips at my proposals, and batted your painted, half-shut eyelids, sealed the chapter I breathlessly penned. Now I’m all run out. You’re

Wow guys, it has been two entire months since my last entry in my long running, albeit not very popular, series "Crooked Box Poems." I'm no longer in order. I wasn't writing as frequently as

It’s fun, trying to be noticed and profound and loved, when you can’t talk to people. Correction. It’s fun, etc., etc., when you’ve forgotten how to talk to people. Let me give you an example. See? That

Okay, am I all caught up? Great. We showed up on the ship, and Byepeex started firing at Negavader again. I think he likes him. Tangle broke it up with her, um, overtly feminine nature I guess. Her pheromone’s

I tried listening to more robo-hip-hop while Negavader slipped on a red shirt to make his excursion, but apparently the anomaly was an outbreak of tips, and I’m not talking 15% either. We went to the surface

Alright, so I have this servant bot named Juavez-7. Oh wait, I can’t say servant bot anymore, can I? I need to talk to Myseria and see if it’s socially acceptable right now. Juavez missed half of his
