It's 11:11 in 2011. And I'm back, if momentarily.
What can I say? I've been away for a long time. But I have not stopped writing poetry. Rather, I've been trying to live out my poetry in real life.
The changes in my absence have been extraordinary... There are now skins for journal entries, twitter icons for deviations...
Haha.
But really, things have changed. The last summer I was writing here was spent slaving away in New York, interning in the fashion industry and dreaming of a day when I could breathe more easily. Now I've left the fashion industry forever, left the art school of my old dreams, and am diving full-force into a new digitally-driven revolution.

What it's doing to my poetry, I am not sure, but am full of hope. Sorry I have not been writing for a while. It's been gathering speed. And changing. Like me.

10k! and the end of naPo in sight...
Yay for 10,000 pageviews! *blows kisses to everyone who's stopped by in the last..four years?*
Wow. It's been a long time. And it's a miracle I never abandoned this thing (writing, as well as dA). God knows it's wanted to abandon me :P
Also! Am finally (almost) caught up with NaPoWriMo! This has been a hard one. But only five to go and two entire days to do it. If only I were so productive the rest of the year...
I'll leave the flightiness of this entry now before it takes off altogether.
:heart:
Edit: Haha just realized that the subject makes it seem like I've written ten thousand words of poetry. Or ten thousand poems O_o. Either way i
Thank you, congrats!, and NaPo
Yup, that pretty much covers it :D
Thank you: to SparrowSong (https://www.deviantart.com/sparrowsong) for the DD feature!

Anyway, thank you to anyone who read, faved, and/or added me to your watchlist. :heart:
CONGRATS: to flappability (https://www.deviantart.com/flappability) for getting into RISD!!! You're absolutely amazing + deserve every bit of happiness you're getting from this acceptance. I will be seeing you THIS FALL (and hopefully sooner as well)!

Teehee, even your words of New York are lovely! I quite enjoy carousels, you know.
And a head full of artificial stars?
...you're so gorgeous.
I hope the trip was enjoyed.
