"i think I should like to be a writer. to take these words burrowed deep in my chest, my bones, and scribble them out into fruition. these words resonate in my body - shaking and thrashing and screaming as life deals its cards to me.

i don't tell people this desire. this purpose. they tend to suggest that it's some sort of childish wonder. some extreme ideal. they don't realise that I didn't choose this. i didn't ask to be burdened with so much to say. but the words are clawing their way out of my throat and spool from my hands. they erupt from my mind and dig themselves up from my flesh. they set themselves before my feet, ripe for the taking.

my fingertips themselves are points of punctuation. my lips are variations of intonations and language. my tongue craves the taste of ink on yellowed paper. the veins running down my legs beat a steady thrum of my tales meant to be told. writing, as I have found, is my own release where my mind meets my heart. how could it not? when every piece of evidence points to the naked fact that my very being is created from some kind of divine art?"

Okay I barely know how to Tumblr, but I wanted to announce that one of my stories will be published on April 04, 2024 by Dark Matter INK!!! And yes I'm still pinching myself because woah!

Story Blast Week Twelve

Twelve, in a collection of writing prompts. Rolling out a handful of "Story Blasts" to help you hone your storytelling skills through daily efforts involving repetition and experimentation. Each "Story Blast" contains a collection of random components. A photo and a paradox; A pair of opposites with an inherent conflict of polar choices to incorporate, explore, use, and build on, along with five additional random items; such as concepts, actions, places, intentions, etc.

The goal of these "Story Blasts" is to spark a daily use of your creative skills by writing a minimum of 250 words a day. You can write more, but consistency is the objective to reinforce the desired outcome, which is Habitual Professional level writing. The other side of that coin is utilizing "random" components that you did not seek out, which will take you to different places than you would typically go to. Breaking ruts and delving deeper into various aspects of your stories by forcing your creative combinations of the listed components mixed in with other concepts. I will be posting the writings, short stories, poems, and musings that are generated from these Story Blasts on

Does this happen to you also?

Like you meet a person and you vibe with them a lot, but after some time, for a reason or not, you fall out. I have a poem for that!

The sparkle in your eyes

When you look at me

Is now turned into ice

The smile and memory

The smile in memory

Withered like the flower

In the fall in the cemetery

And the memories lie there

There are many other poems like this in my anthology, so I would really appreciate it if you check it out.

Here is the link to the Kindle version of the book. It is called Luna: Phases of a Young Woman. Please do check it out, and your remarks will be appreciated 😭❤️

Dust in the wind

Oh I see what you’re doing now  Had you figured from the beginning  and I somehow  Tried not to let the past have any say about now   It’s all looking good but It is said that what you see aint always what you get, but I digress  People are the same whether it’s  Here or There and everywhere   One is wanting another to walk along side  but discovers That they only joined in to get You…

The New Blog!

 I'm starting this blog to showcase some of the pieces of amateur writing work I've come up with and will come up with.  It's an aspiration of mine to someday become a paid writer and actually make money off the content I create. Or even better to possibly write a book at some point. Sometimes I try my hand at poetry and/or song writing. As well I like to write short nonfiction essays or articles about random topics. I am always open to suggested topics from readers (assuming one day I actually have readers).      My grammar may not always be great and my spelling probably worse. But the point of the blog is to mainly have fun and work up the courage to start letting people read my work, and also to help me pass time, as I'm recently clean from drugs and currently live in a sober living house where I tend to have a lot of free time.      Finally, the name: Wreaking Havoc. I aspire to one day own some sort of business and I always thought the word HAVOC would be a totally great name. something like Havoc refrigeration, or Havoc metal fabrication, Havoc sheet metal, or Havoc projects, something along those lines. But where does it come from? Well as I previously stated I am in early recovery. I have been struggling with an opiate addiction pretty much the entirety of my adult life. And as I was in active addiction and making poor decisions I would often have talks with my father. I'd b sitting there across from his desk in his office or riding shotgun in the truck on the way to get one of my few valuable objects out of hawk. Or some other kind of mission your forced on when your son is a junkie. So usually, we'd be in the midst of a heart-to-heart conversation or some form of a come to Jesus discussion in which he would generally say to me; "JOSHUA! You are WREAKING HAVOC on your life!!" and somewhere in all that frustration radiating off my father that phrase wreaking havoc stuck with me. With a subtle form of determination that I would eventually amount to something, and my dad wouldn't have to be disappointed with me anymore, and I could pull some good out of all of our long talks together.      SO, here we are I'm about 7 weeks clean and attempting something positive with my time. If your eyes are here, now i hope they continue, and I hope somebody somewhere someday can maybe take something positive away from the works that follow. Enjoy, my new form of: WREAKING HAVOC!

❄️𝗠𝗢𝗢𝗗𝗕𝗢𝗔𝗥𝗗 & 𝗦𝗡𝗜𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗧❄️ 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲 - 𝗧𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 My fingers flew across the keyboard as I zipped out a quick text to Ardit. I debated the number of emojis to add at the end. Five was too overzealous, but one wasn't enthusiastic enough. But as I hit the send button, I heard a voice behind me. "Why don't you just do it the old-fashioned way and actually talk to me?" My eyes widened as I turned to face Ardit. He stood there looking like a cross between an exasperated parent and a bored college student. I had been avoiding him, but fate had other plans for me. "I've been avoiding you." The words came tumbling out of my mouth. Ardit raised an eyebrow as I continued, "I didn't want you to be uncomfortable." ❄️❄️❄️ #writerwednesday #readergram #bookreaders #bookloversunite #booklifestyle #themoonstarsandskychallenge #writergirl #futureauthor #aspiringauthors #aspiringwriter #aspiringauthor #authorscommunity #bookishpost #writergram #bookloversofinstagram #readersofinsta #writersgram #writerscommunityofinstagram #ilovewriting #aspiringauthor #bookalicious #totalbooknerd #booknerds #indieauthors #bookster #writinginspiration #writersofinsta #authorsofig #writerscorner #bookishlove (at Naperville, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnlHfuaLKpz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Oh, my heart running a marathon!

How crazy have you gone?

Is this anxiety or excitement?

Or do you just need treatment?

These days, you've been worse

Playing a song verse

In my mind, when I meet

Him, whom I daily greet

We just had a talk

No need to walk

On the glass always

When he is in your gaze

Did you already fall

For him? And hoping you'll

Not act like a teen, silly

Enough to make a fool, really!

It's normal to feel anxious, excited, nervous and all kinds of feelings around your crush. Don't make it too obvious 😭✨️
