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.
That’s all for June! You are welcome to share your writing updates in the comments. This month, I encourage you to donate to the Sameer Project, a Palestinian initiative working to provide medical aid, supplies, and food in Gaza. Also, please check out ‘Āina Momona, a community organization working toward environmental health, social justice, and Hawaiian sovereignty. Thirdly, Hope Relief and Rehabilitation is a Sudanese organization supporting people with disabilities, particularly in the Nuba Mountains, where famine has been declared.

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. This month, if you live in the US, I encourage you to contact your congresspeople to urge action regarding the ongoing forced famine in Gaza here and to advocate against cutting SNAP here. Please also review Saroyah’s Twitter list here for updated information regarding the continuing humanitarian crisis in Sudan. For more resources and organizations to support, please look here.
April 2025 Updates
This month definitely felt a bit longer than previous months even though it’s only a 30-day one. I hope you are all hanging in there. I have pasted my updates below.
- I worked more on the cat screenplay, and I started a new poem about Kiran and her sister Sora. You might recognize them from previous stories I’ve written.
- I also created a Neocities site and a Wix blog that you can find linked in my Carrd.
Thank you for checking out my update and please feel welcome to share your own writing updates in the comments! This month, I encourage you to support the Basandja Coalition, which lifts the voices of Indigenous and local communities in the Congo Basin, and FiveforFive, a collective fund for trans women in the UK.
