The Long Hot Summer [Snippet] by Cortney Joseph (Repost) Hey! dropping in to drop off a short story! I titled this as a snippet because typically with my short stories I don't feel a need to write more once I finish, but this one introduces a character that I feel needs her own full story. I've…

Merry X-Mas, Baby. by Cortney Joseph Kayla stared closely at the paper resting loosely between her fingertips, in complete disbelief. Tears welled within the ducts of her eyes, threatening to spill as an unconcerned gaze fell upon her. Her unstead hands trembled with each word she read. What was…

Dracula’s Fear by Cortney Joseph (REPOST – original from 2018) Perhaps it were a last attempt at rebellion, his last attempt at being 'bad', at hurting those close to him. It used to come with such ease. Everything in his after-life came with ease before Princess Aveena of Ethiopia stormed into…

The way Black millennials love ‘Matilda’ should be studied. We don’t play about our girl.

People who take card and table games seriously are aggravating as hell.

Migraines getting worse & worse.

It’s Been A While. Hey there, it's been a while.

It’s Been A While. Hey there, it's been a while.

best thing my job has done thus far is implementing this system where we have to log off the phones at certain points of the day to do random activities for 20 to 30 minutes at a time. most of the activities I've already done. I love free time.

Been a while.

Been a while.

Should've never gave me the sims, or a pc to do what I couldn't do on my laptop.

been moved in for 2 weeks now and still ain't put shit up (other than my work setup).

I'm exhausted, and my legs hurt. I already know it's gon' be a good while before I put away my furniture and items the way I want them.

Had to be moved into a new apartment because of damages in my original one. Chile, I hate moving. It's so stressful. But it's over. Thank God I had family that came through as quickly as needed.

I can't wait for this whole moving situation to be over with.

forgot about this again. hey y'all.

I've left the house today. Let's see how long my social battery lasts. 🥴

Trying to decide if I want to get back into crafting this weekend. Still haven't gotten any orders since opening my shop, and I don't have anyone to make anything for.

My quality assurance rep ; and if we have a little time left, we'll listen to a call. Me (after being asked if I have any questions after each section) : actually, I do. I'm still a little confused.

Trying to decide if I want to go to this concert by myself since someone is finally coming to one of the venues near my house.

In good news tho, after not writing for almost three years (really five, but I was trying for the first half), I have been writing EXCESSIVELY since the beginning of 2025. Got too many ideas now, but that's a good thing I guess.

I would like to set a goal; to actually make some sales this year from my #Etsy. If you love handmade crafts, specifically stationary, please take a moment to check out mypenwritesnice.etsy.com I make personalized notebooks, pens (resin/beaded), bookmarks. I also make keychains, earrings and more.

Trying to come up with a title for a novel is pure hell. I hate it here.

randomly wrote some filth, and I'm trying to decide if it's necessary to the novel I'm writing.

what's the snow equivalent of drizzling called? 'cause it's still doing that in my part of BR, lmfao.

This is me. Especially when I write a new story or novel set in an era or decade before I or my mother was even born. I am the queen of researching shit for accuracy, and researching just to research.

Snowing in Louisiana. That's nice, I guess.

Been reading all of my old stories and novels (10+ years old), and whew...
