Hello!!

    Welcome to my blog "Between the Mediums." This is a space where I will be sharing my thoughts on being in a sort of liminal space in life, feeling pulled and tugged in multiple directions and not knowing what the next step should be or where it may take me. I'll be sharing experiences, my own or observed, and my reflections. 

"Between the Mediums" is also a play on words, since I identify myself as an artist of many varieties, primarily music/voice and poetry. We will talk about both of those more in detail soon.

Related and important, I am writing a poem book (woohoo!!) and will be detailing that process as well as what I'm learning along the way, as both a writer and an overall creative.

Thank you for joining me on this journey, I'm excited to see what we learn and discover together :)

I have to believe, for the sake of my faith, and for the sake of our future, that things will change.  "What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, 'Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,' but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is...

First Draft Sent to Editor!!

       To be frank, the title should really be "First Draft Sent to Editor!! and other mildly disorganized thoughts.." because there's been an abundance of metacognition these past few weeks, and somehow they all are completely interwoven with each other. First things first; not only has the first draft been sent, my lovely editor Micaela and I have now had the chance to sit down and go through (nearly) every poem in this collection and talk holistically about what story I want told, who my intended audience is, and what I want this book to accomplish. Something I have loved thus far about working with Micaela is her process of how she gives feedback, never imposing her own ideas on my art but instead posing her notes as "wonderings" and "curiosities" which has been one of the biggest discoveries for me, and something I've been thinking about a lot these past few weeks beyond my poetry and into my day to day life.  I started thinking to myself, ...
