Yet another week has passed, and it’s time to share another six-sentence story. However, this week’s prompt word made me derail into a psychologically dark theme. So, a small disclaimer before I let you read: if you are someone who may be triggered by domestic abuse and CPTSD, it might be best to skip this week. For others, dread… tread on—with one eye closed. Musically, nothing much has…

The pieces here aren’t really poems—I’m not doing as much poetry or reflection as just… writing. The Second Margins were meant to be more of a messy corner of my blog, showing drafts and the parts I end up deleting from my finished stories or poems but still feel like sharing. Later this week, however, if I manage, I may begin sharing some poems separately too—parts from here or separate ones…

Another week has passed, and it’s time for my second entry in the Ten Thing of Thankful (TToT) blog hop. It has been an interesting and very tiring week, but now I’ll try to find ten things I was grateful for and also please do check out the others and the hosts at the InLinkz link-up. Ten Thing of Thankful #1 First – I have to say that I’m very lucky to have found this community… While life has…

Yet another week has passed. If I’m honest, I’m always waiting for the Thursday blog hops so I can share my Six-Sentence Story of the week and read others and get out of my studies for a little bit (which I love but I need something more to life). Musically, I’ve been stuck on yet another album this whole week—Masochist by Night Club; the song Fatal Crush has been on repeat a lot and is also…

Since my blog and creative work often lean toward the dark and gloomy, I thought this blog hop might be a lovely chance to show, and also remind myself, that there are still things to be grateful for. So this is my very first entry for the Ten Thing of Thankful (TToT) blog hop which can be found here which I accidentally found while sneakily snooping around on the blogs of the Six-Sentence…

This week’s blog hop and six-sentence story was one I felt quite hesitant about, because every time I reread it, it somehow manages to become more and more depressive. I’m not entirely sure why—maybe it comes from writing for and while loops in university to the point of wanting to throw up—but if I had to sum this story up in one word… it would be “loopy.” Musically, I’ve really been into the…

This week’s prompt word for the six-sentence story in our community of blog hoppers was really fun to work with. Over time, I had several different ideas circling in my head on how to use it and make the story a bit different from what I usually write. I wanted something a bit funny and more cheerful than my usual writing, but also brutal. I ended up rewriting the sentence several times and then…

For some reason, I’ve always liked to step in and out of characters when I write. I’ve also noticed something a bit strange about my process in the weekly six-sentence story blog hops: I tend to write the sentence with the prompt word first and then build the rest of the story around it. Musically, I’m really into Sofia Isella lately, especially the song Out in the Garden. I just keep it on…

I have wanted to do this for a while—try something like hybrid writing and mix poetry with reflection. Writing about my day in a regular blog format would probably bore me—and my readers (you are awesome, by the way!). So this time I am slightly opening the door to the process of writing itself. Fragmentation of the mind This is not poetry—this is the mess around it… a girl trying to…

I wanted to post this one warm and raw. This week’s six-sentence story feels more like a poem, and I was afraid that if I sat with it any longer, I’d over-refine it into something it isn’t. So it’s a bit of a crossbreed… an experiment for the blog hop or something like that… The weekly writing challenge is hosted by GirlieOnTheEdge, and you can find links to other participants’ work through…
