POST BLOG UPDATES!!! 2023 :D

Is it okay to make a new thread for this? I just thought perhaps the 2018 one may be too overwhelming now...

[Arden Lee]

Today I posted a poem that actually began with having no inspiration, so I used a random word generator. It gave me the word 'linen', which sparked a memory of a scene I'd written in one of my books. Considering that I nearly wasn't able to write a poem today, I'm quite pleased with the result!
