Those of you who also frequent Ana Mardoll’s Ramblings will find this somewhat familiar. Here, as there, it was requested that there be a regular post to talk about writing projects (and other artwork-creation). Thus this post exists.

What are you working on? How are you feeling about it? What thoughts and/or snippets would you like to share? How does your activism work into your art? What tropes are you hoping to employ and/or avoid? Are there any questions you’d like to ask or frustrations you’d like to vent? Writing workshop below!
Some bad shit went down at my sister’s place.
I usually don’t help out over there because helping my sister is like going to Hell and telling the demons, “Do your worst,” but there is good reason to do a lot of work to make the place look better: it helps to look perfect when you’re a victim, otherwise people blame you.
So I went. Eventually I was allowed to return home.
Exhausted, up well beyond my bed time, and with a lot more details about the bad shit that had gone down . . . I wrote a poem.
