Poem over abstract grayscale image reads: The pen is mightier than the sword Because The heart is stronger than the hand. Yet, the strongest muscle In the human anatomy Is in the mouth. This is a lesson To speak your truth, For the voice is mightier Than all else. Poem signed by Sibyl Sinclair

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, so here’s a poem I wrote this morning. 🖤

As of this morning, I have 10,000 words remaining until I hit my goal word count.

Wish me luck!

How do we feel about chapter titles? They seem less common these days, and I kind of miss them.

I’m not talking about dropping the name of the protagonist for books with more than one, but an actual word or phrase to sum up the chapter you’re about to read.

Yea or nay?

That mingled pride and disappointment of adding the *perfect* sentence only to discover that you’ve already written it in the next paragraph

A Celtic Cross tarot spread. Too detailed to break down in descriptive alt text, but I would be happy to discuss.

It may not be obvious to most of you, but this tarot spread just gave me a much-needed boost of confidence. I’m doing what I believe in with my writing, and I’m going to stick with it until I see it through! 💪💜

“Thanksgiving” poem by Sibyl Sinclair Text reads: I am grateful For this chance To keep on living. The support I have been given Helps me through. I have never Been a stranger To giving. I’ll pour my Empty cup Right into you.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Optimist: The cup is half full

Pessimist: The cup is half empty

Agent: The cup isn’t a good fit for my list

Don’t call me depraved. I never had prave in the first place.

The other day, my partner handed me a pack of plastic cutlery and said, “Oops, all spoons.”

And if that isn’t just the best metaphor for a manic episode…

Freshman year of college. A little emo, a little weeb. Not much has changed except the hair, lol.

Thanks, and good luck to you!
I have all afternoon now to write about 1,000 words, so it’s looking good! 💜

Thank you!

Will today be the day?

Wrapping up the second book of my trilogy. Good vibes and best wishes needed! 💙📚

He is! Gage is a sweet dog, though a little too anxious for his own good. But he’s so chill and a great companion. 💜

People seem to like this guy, so here’s Gage’s precious little face!

Fun fact: He’s only 7. All that grey in his face is just from stress. (He’s been through a lot.)

good for him! work-life balance is so important

Screenshots are for suckers.

Poem: Denied Why is it so difficult To write the thing I need to say When all else comes so easily, As if my muse says, “not today!” For months and months, this page sat blank, Awaiting just one simple song, A poem that has held me back For much too long, for much too long. Will it be the day, today? Will I write it finally? Or will the muses leave me dry, Again deny those thoughts to me?

Today’s poem is brought to you by my continued inability to write a very specific poem I need for my current book:

I don’t have a cat, so I can’t do The Thing, but here’s my buddy, Gage, curled up next to me this morning.

I like 45min on, 15min off poms, with the 15mins used either to keep up with socials or do something mindful, like drink a cup of tea.
