I prefer a cluttered workspace.

The basic rule of storytelling is 'show, don't tell.
senior sibling writing
I wrote before I could write. I got my hands on a journal, maybe a hand-me-down; I had three older siblings. My first entries are in the handwriting of the sister closets in age (5 years my senior). She must have gotten tired of my dictations because she gave up and then my blocky scrawl shows up. I wrote plays as a kid mostly.

My childhood was marked by the great fear of nuclear holocaust. We practiced our Civil Defense Drills, lining up in hallways, curled to the floor, but we knew we'd die or, worse, survive only to suffer radiation and slow death.
positivity way want
I want to keep looking at ways to stride forward with positivity.
collectives underestimated
Women are constantly underestimated in our power, our reach, our collective pull.
