Goals for 2019
Since I have eight months before I start graduate school (applications are in!), I have decided to focus on writing and art. I bought some big sketchbooks and paper to make text blocks for handmade books. I have supplies to try out acrylic pour painting. Basically, I want to write a lot of poems, write …
Poetry Project Complete
I started the Nightwish Poetry project in November 2012, and I finished it in June 2015. All eight albums have been explored as cut out and cross out poems. I’ve also started a poetry compost and fiction compost document to keep track of my writing scraps. Maybe one day they will be polished pieces.
Nightwish
I finished the fourth Nightwish album (“Century Child”) for the cut out poetry project. I was lucky enough to see them perform the newest album, “Endless Forms Most Beautiful.” Meeting Troy, Marco, and Tuomas was exciting, since I’ve been a fan for three years.

Poetry Journal–Complete!
I finished a notebook today. The poetry project, “What is Love?” is also going well–I finished “The Fault in Our Stars” by John Green and “Not a Match: My True Tales of Online Dating Disasters” by Brian Donovan. This is part one because I started a second poetry journal later that year when I went to …
Reward or Bribe?
I’ve tried numerous reward systems over the last year. I can earn points for each completed task, and cash in on a prize, usually a new round of books I’ve been wanting. But what about game time? I do enjoy playing video games once in a while, even though I’m not very good. So I …
Poetry Project Update
Poetry Project #6: I’ve been working with cut-out poems from Nightwish lyrics since November 2012. Recently I finished “Angels Fall First” and “Oceanborn.” The remaining lyrics have been printed. Poetry Project #7: What if you could find poetry in TV or movie dialogue? I’m watching Firefly episodes, searching for poems. I have five episodes to …
New Poetry Project!
I have started a new poetry project. I’m writing it in the hardcover side-bound book I made. Who knew it would be so exciting to write in a book I made?
