Head in the clouds, feet on the ground. Equal parts humble and hilarous. Book lover. Green thumb. Knows how to make sopes from scratch and comes from a long line of movie connoiseurs.

I'd like to experiment with poetic language and the potential it has to change the meaning of a story through form and practice. I'd also like to challenge traditional narrative structures by creating non linear narratives using new tools. Through these experiments, I'd like to create a multimodal piece where sound, image, and text all contribute to my story. I believe that these new platforms are especially fitting for illness narratives, as I am already operating in a hybrid space that is appropriate for my subject-matter. This being the case, traditional language and its structures often cannot suffice.

This website was born from a creative writing course that explores new genres of writing on the internet. We follow emerging trends in digital poetics to develop new ways of creating works that are equally likely to appear on Instagram, through digital video games, in a chat story, generated with LLMs, or even printed on demand in paper format. Studying digital platforms and formats alongside contemporary art and letters, we work together to reimagine experimental writing practices through today's emerging genres. How might social media platforms facilitate serial narratives? What do games demand of poetry? To what literary purposes might we direct webcomics, memes, or Twitch streams? Using a collective workshop format, we engage in a series of writing experiments that attempt to find some of our own poetic responses to today's technological environment. No previous training in creative writing or new media is required, so we are figuring it out together. Our syllabus can be found here.

Creativity is intelligence having fun. -Albert Einstein.

The scariest moment is always just before you start. -Stephen King

If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it. -Toni Morrison

I tell people to write the stories that you're afraid to talk about, the stories you wish you'd forget, because those have the most power. Those are the ones that have the most strength when you give them as a testimony. -Sandra Cisneros

We deserve to have our wrongdoing represented as much as our heroism, because when we refuse wrongdoing as a possibility for a group of people, we refuse their humanity. -Carmen Maria Machado

First forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you're inspired or not. Habit will help you finish and polish your stories. Inspiration won't. Habit is persistence in practice. -Octavia Butler

Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly. -Franz Kafka
