“april fool” preface

I want to write every day this month, so I’m going to *try* to publish something every day this month. This isn’t how this blog will be all the time, but I figure it might be a good way to dive right in. If you read my very first blog post, you might have gathered that although I’ve always wanted a sort of blog space to share my writing, I also tend to be very afraid of other people reading my writing.  So here I am! 

I’ve been putting it off so much—telling myself I had to finish designing the site & decide how to set up my professional portfolio & prepare a few posts in advance, but today I say screw it! I bought this website in February, & I’m just going to dive right in with a series of posts every day this month called “april fool”.

I really haven’t planned these posts at all, and they won’t be edited much at all. I’ll say they’ll probably be shorter, but I can’t make any promises either way! Maybe they’ll be really emotional. Maybe they’ll be really dry & I’ll hate all of them, but they’ll be freshly written pieces to fight my inner critic.

The first one is a poem called “april fool” and it is just a little something I just wrote today while sitting in the park after work and listening to “deja vu” by Olivia Rodrigo (stream NOW). You can check it out now if you want.

((ps. yes I hate the word “blog” & also don’t get too attached to how this site looks right now because I’ll probably end up changing my mind about the colors and the fonts))
