Writing As A Form of Magic & Healing
Im going to talk a bit about my book, "The Magical Writing Grimoire" (released April 28, 2020).
A fair warning: This is going to get a bit dark (but I promise there's a silver lining!), so brace yourselves. It was the summer of 2014 -- I remember because I was blasting Lana Del Rey's Ultraviolence -- when I started writing about my personal experiences with family addiction, separation & my eventua Read more of this blog post »

“Did you inherit a sickness? Did you blame god? Do you believe in God? Do you believe in yourself? Are you still on fire? Did you ever put out the fire?”

“I don't want to be loved despite my history:
I want absolution, someone to observe my fitting-into and
growing-out-of, someone to watch my spine
make the mannequin come to life.”

“I meet you. I remember you. Who are you? You’re destroying me. You’re good for me. How could I know this city was tailor-made for love? How could I know you fit my body like a glove? I like you. How unlikely. I like you. How slow all of a sudden. How sweet. You cannot know. You’re destroying me. You’re good for me. You’re destroying me. You’re good for me. I have time. Please, devour me. Deform me to the point of ugliness. Why not you? Why not you in this city and in this night, so like other cities and other nights you can hardly tell the difference? I beg of you.”
