August 2025 Updates
Hi, everyone! It looks like I’m back to doing these updates last minute lol! Anyways, my writing updates for this month are below.
- I finally finished editing my short screenplay about the cat! So it joins the long list of completed writings I have yet to publish online…
- I wrote a couple more very short pieces based on some prompts. It’s been fun just forcing myself to write and examine different topics.
That’s all for August! I welcome any of your writing updates in the comments! This month, I encourage you to check out the National Black Food & Justice Alliance, a coalition supporting Black self-determination and food sovereignty in the US. Additionally, The Okra Project is a mutual aid collective supporting Black Trans folks through food and housing security and mental health support. I also urge you to support the Rohingya Community Partners’ fundraiser to run a training program for Rohingya refugee youth and girls.

Hello, everyone! Why does time keep going by so fast? It doesn’t feel like it’s been a month since I did my June updates. Anyways, here are my updates for this month:
- I finished my poem about Kiran and hopefully that will be up sometime soon, along with all the other things I’ve written and need to post…
- I also did more editing on my short screenplay about the cat. I’m hoping to finish editing it by my next update!

June 2025 Updates
Happy June! I hope you are all well. My writing updates for this month are below.
- I’ve been struggling a little bit the last few months to feel motivated to write, but recently I’ve been doing drabbles for some prompts, and that’s been fun.
- I’m almost done editing my short screenplay about the cat in the library and my poem about Kiran. Hopefully, I’ll be posting both of those in the coming months.

May 2025 Updates
Well, time has definitely gotten away from me, but hopefully I can get this out in time for the last day of May, at least for my time zone! My updates for May are below.
- I continued editing the short screenplay about the cat in the library. It’s coming around nicely and it’s nice trying out a different style than I’m used to.
- I have also continued writing a new poem that grapples with imagination and reading. It’s been a fun time!
Thank you for stopping by this month! Please feel free to leave your writing updates for May below.
