Amelia C. Gormley published her first short story in the school newspaper in the 4th grade, and since then has suffered the persistent delusion that enabling other people to hear the voices in her head might be a worthwhile endeavor. She’s even convinced her hapless spouse that it could be a lucrative one as well, especially when coupled with her real-life interest in angst, kink, social justice issues, and pretty men.

When her husband and son aren’t interacting with the back of her head as she stares at the computer, they rely on her to feed them, maintain their domicile, and keep some semblance of order in their lives (all very, very bad ideas—they really should know better by now.)

I am so very excited to see that you’re back!! Many years ago now, your account of your experience with asexuality (and all the things you tried doing to “cure” yourself of it) saved me so much heartache and pain in my own relationship. I was going down th

Thank you. I don't recognize your handle, so if we used to interact when you used a different name, do let me know. I can't promise I'll be around much, because being too "present" on social media leads to a lot of anxiety for me. But I felt like that dude's message needed a personal response, since he was clearly misinformed about his options in this situation.

Thanks so much for your kind welcome

Quotes by Amelia C. Gormley (?)

“The haunting and haunted remnants of an abandoned world. And in Darius’s arms each night, when reason returned and they lay together, drained and weary, Rhys decided there was something inescapably beautiful about the fact that they made these memories in ruined places.”
― Amelia C. Gormley, Strain

“Well, I guess I don't say much, unless I've got something to say. Makes me not a lot of fun at parties. I'm really not great with small talk."

Gavin shrugged. "A lot of people feel like they have to fill every silence with noise, no matter how meaningless. I think it's interesting to find someone who isn't afraid of a little quiet.”
― Amelia C. Gormley, Inertia

“Whatever happened after, even the loss, my life would be less if I had not had that. On the day I die, my only regret would be if I hadn't had it. If I had been too much a coward to take it while I had a chance.”

“I don’t need you to be perfect. I don’t need you to never make mistakes. I just need you to let me give you as much of myself as I can, and to trust that I will try as hard as possible never to hurt you intentionally. Can you do that? Can you just let me love you?”
