What is on my mind...

Well, I wrote a crazy little piece which will be posted on because there is no way in hell that I will be trusting meta with my writing.

N. R. Yang (@nryangauthor.bsky.social) What is on my mind... Far too much for one person to handle. At times my minds vestigial silence explodes with joy, other times it collapses under the pressure. Only to be covered in rubble, and buried in the fragments of a similarly shattered world around it. only to crawl out from that blood-

Tonight is Litha, technically, at midnight, but I was late with my offerings during Beltane so I put it up a day early.

I hope you all have a blessed Litha and you harvest comes to fruition at the turn of the seasons.

I've put my novel to a professional to be read and notes made. I have a great feeling about it after spending some time with my pantheon. Heres to hoping!

Its been a while since my last update on here. I have been lucky enough to have another piece put into a magazine. Please check the issue out, my work is the one on the front page titled: "Within The Court Of Dying Trees"

Within the Court of Dying Trees — ELA Literary Magazine Do Deities die?  Perhaps this is my tomb; maybe I am already laid to rest in this sarcophagus of worship by all those polyamorous lovers, paying penance for something I have done wrong to those I cared about the most. A journey into the thoughts and feelings of one who has been left

I hope that everyone has a blessed summer full of love, prosperity, and peace!

Everyone is probably wondering whats going on behind the scenes here. Well, I spoke to a person who was an editor for a publisher and I was let behind the curtain, so to speak.

I learned many valuable things, and am very thankful this person took the time to meet with me over zoom. Lately, I have been hard at work reading materials suggested in this meeting and rewriting my manuscript for a third time as was also suggested. Its going very well and I have a good feeling about it.

I just have to get the rewrite finished which is the hard part haha.

Hello everyone,

My second story has been published within ELA Literary Magazine. I'm honored and appreciative that they chose to feature my work twice. Please check them out, you'll find some great work on there.

Signed with Regret — ELA Literary Magazine I rolled Lucy up in it, after these horrible events transpired and buried her body in the garden alongside mother and father's tombs; she sleeps there now. Nothing but bones, I’m sure. I request that the clergy go over there and say a few prayers for her. Hopefully, the ground was hallowed enough ...

I stood in front of Christopher Columbus' mausoleum today while visiting Seville. I didn't know he was here, no idea that anyone knew where his remains were.

It was a shock, and I was kind of shook standing at the foot of this altar to genocide and death. The audio clip attached to it was equally disturbing, touting him as some sort of peace bringer, or bridge builder

He was neither, he paved the way for violence,, genocide, colonialism, and robbery of a group of people who were already on this land.

A thousand blessings to you and yours!
