Cross-post from Ochre Sky Stories
I want to know what happens when we write bizarre, adorable, angry, genre-agnostic pieces and then give our sweet, raspy, hungry voices to them. I want to understand how heartfelt words travel from our bodies onto the page. Then from our eyes into our voice. To many ears, only so our own ears can hear our truth, and acceptance slowly settles into our body. Writing is visceral and musical and intimate and communal. I want to write with you. ❤️⚡️ -
