this is me trying (to make a zine)

After the IndieWeb Zine Pop Up in May, I decided that I wanted to make a zine. I had already made a zine before, Quiet Edinburgh, but the zine was more of a booklet. After the meetup, I started feeling inspired. I wanted to make a tiny paper zine, one that I could fit in my ...

Inspirations

I remember the moment I was standing before four or five of Monet’s Haystack paintings, each depicting a different season. I was in awe of the colour. I could move between each of them and see the same scene from a new perspective, from the warm sunsets of summer to the fros...

Reciprocity

Where did it all go? Every ounce of feeling from my fingertips and toes. The darkness makes room for the twinkle to star. I look up, my smile cast away. Mage, to you, I'm the muse.

Drawing The Target

This poem is split from an earlier piece I intended to write in two parts. I didn't know then that I'd written both at once.

IndieWeb Fiction Carnival September 2026: Moonlight

When you close your eyes and think of moonlight, what do you see? An author typing a story on an antique typewriter while burning the midnight oil? A musician who is perpetually unaware that there is moonlight outside because they are playing in an underground club? A person...

A moment

Yellowing leaves blow over the path in front of me, making a sound as they move. Every leaf, a colourful reminder of the coming autumn. Looking up and around and straight ahead, I felt the fresh breeze blow against my face and my hair. The sunlit grass gleamed. Further ahead, the canopy of trees rustled with the wind. With every sound and colour and feeling, I feel alive.

Blaugust 2026 in review

I am sitting with a cup of tea by my side as I have been on many mornings this month. This morning, instead of being precariously balanced on the arm of the chair, the cup rests between the right arm of the chair and my right leg, keeping me warm in a way where the temperatu...
