If someone asked me to describe what it was like to spend time with Milo Benedict, the first word that comes to mind is wild.  He always knew what to say. There was never a doubt in my mind that he was smarter than me, which would bother me if it were anyone else, butContinue reading “the benedict flu – by me :)”

Shocking, huh? Might we all be concerned as to why I literally fell of the face of the planet earth. To be honest, I’ve been struggling. Physically, mentally, all of it. The whole bag of chips. 2020 was a hard fricken year. I know you’re probably sick of hearing that, but it’s true. So, instead,Continue reading “GUYS – IM NOT DEAD”

I know, I know, you probably thought I was dead. Good news! I’m not. I think that I’ve mostly been inactive because I’ve been very much uninspired to write until just recently. The writer’s block (no pun intended) is actually something that I came over maybe a month or two ago? Maybe? I really haveContinue reading “let’s take a minute and review.”

wildflower honeydrops  rain from the sky.  your wings catch them,  sucking them dry,  fingering the  caramelized-love you and i share.  she is buttered with  cocoa, with almonds,  with dry seeds of  pomegranates that sink their way into the sun-soaked river,  rosewater bleeding  into your skin, memories flowing along with the fuchsia flowers that bake theirContinue reading “buttered cocoa.”

a handful of  sunflower seeds sprinkled into my empty, drought-filled stomach. a bumble bee came to  pollinate the  garden that had  implanted itself into my weed-encased lungs, snaking around my  ribs,  blossoming with lilies, daisies, chrysthanthemums and roses of all hues. no gardener tends to the flurry of stems that wrap around my wrists, springingContinue reading “when it comes down to who i want to be.”

Looking for something to read? Yeah, so was I. I’m now at the point where libraries haven’t opened up, so I’m really just having to either reread books I’ve already got, spend a bunch of money on new books (which ain’t cheap), or scrounge around my mom’s books and try to find something that’s notContinue reading “What Are We Reading?”

Need something to read over the summer? I’ve got an author for you! Julie Buxbaum has written two novels that I have read: Tell Me Three Things and What to Say Next. These are both novels that I have enjoyed tremendously, and I think you will too! Above I have included the covers to bothContinue reading “What Are We Reading?”

Here’s a little piece I’ve been working on over quarantine. Hope you all are staying safe. ———– “You’ve gotta read this.” “I don’t even know if I’ll fit any of these characters. I mean, seriously.” “Just. Read it.” “Fine. But I can’t promise you I’ll like it.” <><><> I suck in a deep breath. IfContinue reading “it’s called acting.”

Yes, I am aware, it has been quite a long time since I’ve been on. Well, all I want to say is that I’m sorry, and that if you are wanting to read more from me, I suggest going to my account on Wattpad, which is pretty much the YouTube for writers. @em_allison9 is whereContinue reading “hello once again!”

This piece I’m about to show you was recently accepted for publication in the 2020 edition of the Havik Magazine. Go check it out! <><><> They blinked like a deer in headlights.They smiled warmly like marshmallows roasting over a fire.They made friends with me in the darknessand the brightnessof the Georgia air thatclung to myContinue reading “i hate rabbits.”
