Eat Me #WIP #sludgepit #HR “You can’t consume me without belonging to me. You’ll never be rid of the pieces of me that cling to your insides, pooling into your pores, your glands, your viscera. When you are me, and I am you…this is love. And no one will be able to kill me in any way that matters.”

The way I haven't been able to write a single word since the end of January... I'm so mad, bc I wanted this book done by summer. And then I remember I'm in a Situation and I have to give myself more grace for the depression & stress drying up the writing well.

Hi, this is me. I need help getting out of my current living situation. I'm saving up as much as I can but still need help. Thank you #mutualaid

Hoping to finish writing a beat for beat layout of Chapter 4 now that I've redefined its purpose. Maybe I'll write some, but I dont have much hope with running around to find a new place to live in two months.
