I’m finally working on a new project that I thought would be something small but turns out I like it too much.
I have a title for it but I don’t exactly like it… as i post about it hopefully I’ll get more inspiration for it. I’ll be tagging it under Dear Jane until I have a better idea for a title.
Hey friends, I’m Lu and I’m a creative writer. I use she/her and they/them pronouns and I am 21.
I’ve been writing stories and poems since I learned how to write and before that I would doodle tales of purple dogs. I always knew that I wanted to be a published author so I could share my stories with everyone, I’ve always dreamt of seeing my novel on a shelf among the greats! My strengths in writing are: world-building, flowery details, and character building. My weaknesses are: grammar, dialogue and a bit of plot building.
Thanks to Briefly Write publishing my first micro story, I am one step closer to reaching my dream!
A little bit more about me: I am a student at Appalachian State University studying creative writing, just existing in the mountains. I love to read, take naps, go hiking, thrifting, listening to murder podcasts. I’m also a big foodie but I don’t know how to cook, hopefully in the future I’ll get better at it. My favorite animals are koalas and bunnies. I have a dog named Maggie, I’ve had her since I was in 5th grade. I have a bunny named Jeffery, he’s a rascal.
My WIPS are: The Hidden Odyssey and Colors of Emotions. I also have some short stories in the works.
I hope that you like what I create and I hope we can be friends!
Again, they come running to my call of distress
only to burrow in my skin and call me delicate
their stinger falling off upon entry
They want to peel off each layer to watch it grow back shiny and new.
They choke for me as I swallow their marbles but they won’t bleed for me
won’t breathe for me
and my humming bird heart won’t sway
nor listen to what you have to say
won’t cry as you break my bones
Remember that first butterfly?
That night we went bowling, then to
Sonic, then to Cook Out for some reason.
You had released that little guy
From your jar of hearts, then
He fluttered into mine
It was the migration of
Monarchs, an extraction of
Honey. A swarm of bees and things
When we first met.
It’s crazy how low self-worth fucks with peoples lives
my heart is a ripe fruit rotting in my chest
N.
How to describe someone time isn’t a friend of-
Fate knows your name,
It’s strong, your strong. In your arms, I feel safe,
Until we let go
Music turned all the way up
The only song I wanted to hear was your heart
Harmonious, a voice so sweet to the ears
Fate might not be our friend,
But time knows our name and dammit it demands it so mockingly,
Like a threat.
Dare we prove fate wrong and test the stars? We’ll test the boundaries of life itself.
just in case no one told you, you did well this year. you don’t even realize it :( I’m proud of you, you should be proud of yourself too
Rare pity, mercy and compassion of the giants called humanity
A cis woman tells me that maybe she should transition to gain male privilege as I'm recovering from getting beaten up in the men's bathrooms.
I tell her to be my guest and give me a call when she gets her jaw broken, I always carry a first aid kit and a pepper spray.
She calls me a misogynistic asshole.
A cis man tells me that he'd sure love some T.
Gave him my prescription and best of luck with the constant shortages and getting denied.
He calls me a pussy.
I'm fighting for my life and reproductive rights. I get told to get off women's fights, that it's not about me, like I shed my womb after my first T shot.
I search for support groups for SA victims, and I'm stuck in the same “women/NBs only”. Still shooting my shot, send an application. I introduce myself. Never get a call back.
I go to a trans night. Say I go by he/him. Get told back “yeah, that's how we all start !” by a trans woman. I'm too exhausted, I get up and I leave.
I hang out with my friends, one of them drunkenly says masculinity is a prison we must learn to escape. She gets rows of applause. Back to drinking alone.
Yes I could explain it. But who'd you rather be ? A delusional girl or a man made threat ?Or it could be better, I could just not exist ! And we'd bleach my corpse and I'd become a casualty. Not an F, ot an M, a W for Wound and for Wrong.
I put a candle on a single cupcake, 2 years on HRT. I blow it in the dark. Curtains closed like casket.
