I've Been Working On Something
The S.S. Sydney is getting ready to board.
Hi. It’s me again. I’m back. Thanks for playing along with my poetry.
It’s about time I officially make the announcement:
I am moving to Sydney, Australia.
The goal is to never come back.
Feels odd to see it written like that. Surreal, most days. I am in a limbo state and this newsletter is being drafted a week in advance because, at this very moment, I should be in Milwaukee, WI, visiting my old haunts.
If you see me out in public? If I’m busy? Leave me ‘lone, please.
It’s an odd season for me. Thanks, gang. <3
S.S. Sydney will be disembarking June 3, 2025.
JENN? ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THIS?
Yes.
ARE YOU OKAY?
Yes.
IS IT FOR A JOB?
Yes. I am an affiliate of the University of Sydney.
PHEW.
WAIT! WHAT ABOUT CREATIVE STUFF!?
Pandora, in Parts is well underway. Working with my artist now on cover design and elements.
Grimm retellings are going well, but it is a very heavy mental lift because of identity work. It’s hard to open the page and see yourself reflected in every single word. Especially when you’re a phonetic translator naturally. Hang tight. I’m not giving up yet, the project is simply not for the weak of heart.
Tilting Gravity’s follow-up is hugging me again. I’ll be ready to tell Adeline’s story once I’m safe in (heh…) Sydney.
Once an artist, always an artist. And writers are artists, y’all. Thanks for reading.
A NEW DIRECTION.
My social content is likely to change into more poetry and more travel as I open my life up to something else entirely. I hope you’ll stick around. There’s also fun gaming stuff in the future for my fellow nerds.
Love you.
