Scatterbrained Scribe Mage writing the first draft of my fantasy novel “The Hollow Prophecy” || Catch me on Twitch || https://twitch.tv/tlderosa || She/Her || 🇺🇸 💙 💔 || Believe in yourselves! ||

It’s really frustrating when you’re looking up apps and programs to improve your #Twitch stream and make it a little more fun… …and they don’t offer services for MacOS. 😤 I need a PC that can handle streaming but isn’t going to break my bank. I’m open to suggestions.

Finally, the curse has been lifted. I’m writing again. The processes of my new job are finally beginning to click in my brain. Hopefully things will be looking up. I’m thinking of streaming this afternoon. If not today, then certainly tomorrow. Feels good to be slowly getting back to where I was.

i'm doing a challenge for myself to do a poem a day throughout the month of October. I am going to try and make it cohesive ballad. I have never done something this grand in scope before.. I hope it'll be a fun learning experience! 😅

Waking up to another empty day. 
The weight of the world laid on top of me
I don't want to get up, I just want to stay 
Trapped here where I can no longer be
 
I need to get up, I can't be here any longer 
I can't lay here until nothing is left But the void begins to sing its siren song 
My hope is left bereft 

Drifting back into the embrace of sleep
I fall into the world of darkness yet again 
Opening my eyes to the twilight landscape 
Falling up from the ground, it did rain 

I wandered for seamless hours
To a forest of trees colored like red wine 
with leaves as blue as the noon sky
I continued to explore within it's confines

As time went on, the world became eerily silent
A tension in the air and a smell of rot
That's when I knew, I was being hunted
I moved to safely hide, or so I thought

It came into view, it's many hooves clattering loudly
What was before me left me with terrible dread
Head like a coyote,body of a snake and many many hooved legs
Smelling the air and trotting the ground i tread

"It isn’t supposed to be here! Not this soon!" I thought
A branch snapping beneath my retreating feet 
Howls and a rampage of hooves 
I face becoming something to eat.

The new job is continuing to mentally exhaust me, but it seems like it’s finally clicking in my Swiss-cheese brain. Haven’t written in a few days; just haven’t had the energy. I’m not happy about that. But life do be like that sometimes! So for now, I’m being gentle on myself. #believeinyou
