Hello friends, my name is Madeleine and I am incredibly lazy glamorous.

Ever since I was a sullen child of 8 I’ve adored writing in all its incarnations – dramatic, exclamation-filled diary entries, pseudo-journalistic endeavors for small town weeklies and the disfigured, bastard child of the above- blogging.

I have a BA Sociology, with a concentration in Criminology, Deviance and Social Control.

I am addicted to commas and soft cheeses. My mind works faster than my hands, I often skip whole words and sometimes entire sentences. I don’t always catch this before hitting publish. Mea culpa.

Weeds and Wildflowers

I quit my job at the beginning of the summer. If you’re surprised, I was too.

It’s rare for me to make a move without planning and researching each step in advance. I especially like to rehearse all possible worst-case scenarios, so I’ll be prepared when they happen. (If this sounds terrible, it’s because it is. Truly just an awful way to move through life. I’m working on it.)

Also, I rarely quit th

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
"A dude is left alone in deep space after losing his crewmates; but the dude is a scientist and manages to find a smart solution to every problem he encounters in such an unfriendly environment.

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
"Andy Weir cannot write and I'm tired of people pretending he can.

First, let's talk about characters- well, there is no character here. I only see a vague man-shaped science textbook in an astronaut suit. Wait, let me put my glasses on. OH, I know him" Read more of this review »

Warsan Shire
“You want me to be a tragic backdrop so that you can appear to be illuminated, so that people can say ‘Wow, isn’t he so terribly brave to love a girl who is so obviously sad?’ You think I’ll be the dark sky so you can be the star? I’ll swallow you whole.”
Warsan Shire

Warsan Shire
“every mouth you’ve ever kissed
was just practice
all the bodies you’ve ever undressed
and ploughed in to
were preparing you for me.
i don’t mind tasting them in the
memory of your mouth
they were a long hall way
a door half open
a single suit case still on the conveyor belt
was it a long journey?
did it take you long to find me?
you’re here now,
welcome home.”
Warsan Shire
